Hi! I just joined this list so I thought that I would post my BOYD information and see if I can connect up with any other researchers on my particular Boyd lineage. My grandmother, DORIS Boyd, was born in Elizabeth, NJ to ROY Earl Boyd and Ethel POTTS Boyd. ROY was b. in 1898 in Roanoke, VA to JACOB HENRY Boyd and Minnie Pearl SNYDER Boyd. JACOB was born in 1874 in Martinsburg, Berkeley Co, WVA and Minnie was born in Roanoke, VA. Jacob and Minnie had the following children: Leonia, Roy, William, Cecil and Walter. This family left Roanoke, went to Ohio briefly (around the turn of the century), went to NJ and eventually settled in Easton, PA and then Adams Co., PA. As a side note, Jacob pitched for the Washington Senators from 1895-1896. JACOB died in 1932 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Adams Co, PA (Gettysburg). JACOB was born to JOHN (prob. F) Boyd and PHILIPENA C. Boyd. Her maiden name could possibly have been Campbell. JOHN F. BOYD was born abt. 1840 in MD. Philipena was born between between 1846 - 1850 in MD. They had the following children: Anna/Annie, John F/T Jr., Oscella (f), Jacob Henry (above), Daniel and CW. This couple lived in WVA and Roanoke (at least.) I have found a John Boyd, b. abt. 1840 in the 1850 census in BALTIMORE, MD with a Robert (b. 1817) and Mary Boyd. I know that John's mother is Mary because she was living with him in his 1880 census (she was remarried to a Lewis WEBB.) Perhaps this is them? I have also found a John Boyd, b. abt. 1840, in the 1860 census, no mother or father but a JOHN Boyd, 72, b. Scotland was head of the house. Besides the John Boyd in this house, there is a daughter named Mary in both of these censuses, 4 years younger than John. So, now that I've confused everyone, please let me know if you recognize any of these names or locations. I do have marriage registers, licenses, etc. that I'd be happy to share. Happy Hunting!

Hi Rod, From the: LDS England Research Outline: Before 1837 only churches recorded birth, marriage, and death information in England. Civil Registration for England and Wales began on 1 July 1837. Civil Registration Information Recorded in Civil Registers - Marriages Marriage certificates give the marriage date, place, and denomination (if a church marriage); the names of the bride and groom, whether they were single or widowed, and their ages, occupations, and residences at the time of marriage; the names and occupations of their fathers (and often whether they were deceased); and the signatures of the bride, groom, and witnesses. The law required all marriages to be recorded in a civil register immediately after the ceremony. Marriages were often performed at the bride’s parish. ------------------ Church records are an excellent source for accurate information on names and dates and on places of births, marriages, and deaths. Most people who lived in England have information recorded about them in a church record. Since civil authorities did not begin registering vital statistics until July 1837, church records are the best source for family information before that date. Some church records were destroyed by fire, lost, stolen, defaced, or damaged by dampness or aging. To protect their records, most parishes have deposited their early registers in county record offices. Parish maps can help you determine which parish to search. Maps will reveal neighboring parishes to search if your ancestor is not listed in the parish where you expected him or her to be. The amount of information recorded varies from parish to parish. Later records are usually more complete than earlier ones. However, content often changed when a new minister began keeping the records. Church records - Marriages Parish registers often record only the marriage date and the names of the bride and groom. The records may also include the marital status and the parish of residence of both parties, the groom’s occupation, signatures of witnesses, and the minister’s name especially after 1754. Starting 1 July 1837 all parishes were required to use a new form. This form called for the bride and groom’s ages, residences, and occupations and the names and occupations of their fathers. Couples usually married in the bride’s parish. Typically, the English married in their 20s. Locating Church Records To find an ancestor in church records, you should know his religion and the parish where he lived. Once you know your ancestors religion and the parish where they lived, you might want to check the LDS Family History Library to see if they have those parish records microfilmed....you can check their catalog at their on-line web site. If they are not microfilmed you would have to write to the parish or the repository that holds those records. For further information concerning England's marriage records, how to locate a parish, etc., see the LDS Family History Library web site: http://www.familysearch.org/ Look under "Research Helps" Look under "England".....England Research Outline. Hope the above is helpful to you :-) Kind Regards, Karen from Ohio, USA

"Every surname is a story in itself. It may tell you where your forebears originated, what their work was, or their social status. It may even tell you the color of their hair or complexion, if they were bald, or had bandy legs, or were thin or tall, short or fat . . ." What's in a Name?" http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/lesson2.htm After a few years of genealogy tracing my last name across continents and oceans, I stepped back and asked: Where do these surnames come from? What is this convention all about and how long has it been going on? I did some reading -- actually a lot of reading -- and found, as one author put it, there's "nothing of a permanent or exclusive nature about surnames." ORIGINS: The Chinese were the first using family names 4,700 years ago. (One source says all Chinese surnames were decreed chosen from a sacred poem.) Hereditary surnames came to Europe just 1,000 years ago in Venice, followed by the Irish, French, English, and then other Europeans. Surnames were widespread by 1500, but only common in some Middle Eastern and African areas as late as the 1900s. A few groups do not use surnames including Tibetans, Javanese, and many royal families. TYPES: A surname is a name shared to identify members of a family; appears in varied order with other names depending on the culture, most often passes down from the father and falls into four categories: --Kinship surnames come from the father, mother, or clan name with or without an affix. Elton John has a patronymic kinship surname and, presumably, an ancestral father named John. Leif Ericson had the classic "son of" affix. Other "son of" surnames are: Gonzalez and Rodrigues, Jones, Edwards, Peeters, Bertucci, Janowicz, Popescu, Ivanovich, Jozefski, and ben Isaac. They sometimes derive from the mother or indicate a female child as Addison (son of Addie) and Karlsdotter. A Hispanic married woman's name such as Victoria de la Garza Diaz Alvarez includes surnames from first her mother, then father, then her husband. It looks straightforward, but relationship is not always clear. The Celtic affixes O, Fitz, Mc, and Mac mean "son of" although also taken by clan members not related by blood. --Place names were fashionable, giving us Hill, Brooks, Eastwood, Thorpe and Blair (village and field), Neuville (new town), Berliner, Parris, Schoenberg (beautiful hill), plus Lahn and Zhang (rivers in Germany and China). --Occupation surnames were often chosen in Medieval times. Examples are Miller and Smith, the German equivalents -- Muller and Schmidt -- Clerk (and variation Clark), Taylor, Cooper and Butnaru (barrelmaker), Guerro (warrior), Okoro (prince), and, of course, Butcher, Baker, and Fenstermacher (window maker). --Descriptive names set apart the many village Johns or Juans until now we have Armstrong, Longfellow, Goodman, Fairchild, Devout, Lloyd (gray), Blanchett (white or blonde), Bialy and Wielgu (pale one and big one), also Patnaik (literature authority). Other common surnames were chosen from precious metals, jewels, plants, flowers, seasons and weather. Gold and Kim (Korean for gold), DeSilva, Pearl, Bush, Reed, Spring, and Frost are instances. MYTHS and CHANGES: Surnames have their mysteries, pitfalls, and mistaken beliefs. It is untrue that surnames were often changed at Ellis Island, but some immigrants changed their surname years later during the legal naturalization process. Many more people changed their names to smooth assimilation, for perceived business and social ease, to simplify spelling or pronunciation, and to distinguish themselves from neighbors or relatives with the same or similar name. People take new names in homage or as creative expression (in the U.S. every letter of the alphabet has been chosen as somebody's one-letter surname). It is untrue that most of the four million African Americans who adopted surnames after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 chose their former slaveowners' surnames. On one plantation, owned by a man named Jones, only one freed slave chose that name. The others, whatever their individual reasons, took the names of Brown, Jackson, Quinton, Nellicliff, Thompson, Wallace, Marshall, Howard, Verdier, Golphine, Ash, Yeomans, Baker, Goodwin, and Pinckney. In choosing their surnames they tended to be conservative and adopted family names held by many whites. It is untrue that spelling counts. Even a hundred years ago, one branch of the family might write Kelly and another Kelley, while an offspring signs Keeley. Lanes, Lahns, and Longs may be all descended from one man. Lastly, Smith is not the most common surname on earth. Almost 30 Chinese named Chang (also spelled Zhang) walk about for every single Smith. In spite of the surname's relative youth in Western cultures and queer modulations, it is a fascinating label and a valuable clue in the quest to learn from where we came. ---------------------------------------------------------------- REPRINTS.

Rich- Thanks for reminding me to look at that website again. The info posted there about the Old Scots Rev. John Boyd would lead me to believe that he did not arrive in 1685 on the "Henry and Francis" with Walter Ker. However, I still would like to find a connection between him and Rev. William and Rev. John who preached in NJ a little later and had close ties with the Ker family. There is a family legend that says that the Rev. John Boyd of Old Scots was an ancestor to our Boyds in Chester Co SC. This was written in a Downing Book in 1923 and repeated in a Downing autobiography in the 1930's. I realize that it might not be true -- but I would like to prove/disprove it in hopes of finding out more about my Capt. Robert Boyd of Scotland/Ireland/Cumberland PA (b abt 1705). I know that groups of families tended to remain together and I was hoping that there might be someone out there that was aware of a Boyd-Ker(r) connection that would show some relationship between these three Boyd ministers who were all involved with the Ker family. Thanks, Maria

I am looking for any relationship between Rev. John Boyd of Old Scots Presbyterian Church and Rev. William Boyd of Lamington NJ. Rev. John Boyd was the first Presbyterian minister to be ordained in the Presbyterian church in the colonies. I think he may have come to this country with a group of his fellow believers in 1685 on the ship - Henry and Francis. Walter Ker was also on this ship which disembarked at Perth Amboy NJ. Walter Ker was instrumental in Rev. John Boyd becoming the pastor of Old Scots Presbyterian Church in about 1706. Rev. William Boyd was the son of Capt. Robert Boyd who was b abt 1705 to Scottish parents and who migrated to Cumberland Valley PA abt 1735. Rev. William Boyd (b 1757)and his brother - Rev. John Boyd (b1762) both had pastorates in NJ in the latter 1700s. Rev. William Boyd was married to Catherine Ker Taylor - the greatgranddaughter of Walter Ker. And there were members of this Ker family in both William's and John's churches. Rev. John Boyd - William's brother - was married to Margaret Gaston. Does anyone have any information about the relationships between any of these people? Maria

Does anyone know anything about a John Boyd who arrived at Perth Amboy New Jersey in 1685? Was this the same as Rev. John Boyd who was the first Presbyterian minister to be ordained in the New World?? Maria

Found this while doing other research. Don't know anything more. Carroll Co. Ohio Common Pleas Journal, Aug term 1845, Vol. C, pp 581 - 584 Petition to court to settle land sale not recorded. John Boyd dec'd late of Beaver Co. PA, land in Carroll Co. Ohio, sold to John Harman. There was a stipulation that John Harman would provide board and washing for John Boyd, in Ohio.

I am James Boyd and now live in La Grange, Texas. My great grandfather arrivied in Morgan County, Ohio in 1848 and moved from there to Leroy, Indiana. A number of the relatives are buried in the Walnut Grove cemetery there in Indiana. The name of the cemetery caught my eye. There were other relatives the stayed behind in Ohio. Just wondered if there were a connection since the name of the cemetery was the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich" <richboyd@speednetllc.com> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 12:31 PM Subject: [Boyd] Harvey (Harry) Boyd/Florence K.

My grandmother never mentioned that her mother died when she was just a toddler; however, I am waiting for information from my cousin to see if she knows anything further on this. Also, the death certificate will confirm the correctness or not so I will have to wait for that. Children: 1. Hazel Boyd b. July 9, 1899 married ? Percy. Died April, 1978 in Westerville, Franklin Co OH. Buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery. This is not yet confirmed. Once I get confirmation on this, I will forward that to you. I am unaware of any children from this marriage. 2. Frank Boyd b. about 1902. Married ??. Died June 15, 1959, Bexley, Franklin Co, OH, Again, this unconfirmed. I do not have his wife's name and am unaware of any children from this marriage. Once I have this confirmed, I will send additional information. 3. Helen Boyd b. April 10, 1907 and d. January 28, 1991, burial Walnut Grove Cemetery, Franklin Co, OH. Married Charles Bunn. Helen and Charlie never had any children so they spoiled their nieces. They were very sweet, very nice people. 4. Louise Boyd b. October 20, 1914, Westerville OH, Orange Twp, Delaware Co, OH/d. September 1988. Burial Walnut Grove Cemetery, Franklin Co, OH.

I am looking for anything about Nathaniel Boyd, my 4th grtgrandfather who was married 27 Mar 1775 to Margaret McAdoo in Guilford Co., NC. I don't know where he came from, how many children they had or when he died. Although I have found something in the Land Warrant book saying a parcel of land "joins Nathaniel Boyd deceased's land" dated 12 Feb 1786. They did have one daughter Ann Boyd who was mentioned in her grandfather (James McAdoo)'s will probated in 1805. Any info would be appreciated. Ginger

Still in search of the identities and parents of James and Jenny Boyd, lived in Springmount townland, parents of some 8 children including my gg grandfather David Lindsey Boyd (1841 - 1919). Thanks for any suggestions. Donald Boyd Centerville, Ohio
