I am researching BOYD families in early Pickaway Co., OH. My ancestors, Ann or Anna Boyd b. abt. 1805 in NY and Michael VanBuskirk b. July 22, 1794 in MD. married December 1, 1824 in Pickaway Co., OH. Michael and Ann Boyd VanBuskirk are in the 1840 Union Co., OH census, the 1850 and 1860 Marion Co., OH, census. Anna appears to have died bet. 1860-1866 in Marion Co., OH. She is not listed in that counties death records or the 1870 Marion Co., OH census with Michael VB. Other Boyd's who married in Pickaway Co., OH in the same time frame are: Boyd, Lemuel to Beckett, Anna Jan 24, 1821 Boyd, Catherine to Heeter, Peter Apr 3, 1822 Boyd, William to Ruckman, Margaret Dec 9, 1824 It seems possible that Lemuel, Catherine, William, and my ancestor Anna Boyd could be connected. Lemuel Boyd and Anna Beckett appear to have moved to Warren Co., IN and show up in the 1830 census: 1830 Warren Co., IN Census: Boyd, Lemuel 2100110000000 0000100000000 2 males under 5 1 male 5-10=Benjamin Boyd (pedigree listed with ancestry.com) 1 male 20-30 1 female 20-30=Anna Beckett Living nearby are Benjamin Becket, William Becket, and Mary Becket. Mary Becket appears to be a widow and mother of all these Beckets. The surname is actually spelled BECKETT. Lemuel Boyd is listed as a Justice of the Peace in Past and Present of Fountain and Warren Counties Indiana by Thomas A. Clifton and in the Warren County Centennial 1927 by Cecil E. Haupt: "The second marriage was June 19, 1828 , between James Perrin and Cassandra Clark, Lemuel Boyd, Justice of the Peace." Source: Past and Present of Fountain and Warren Counties Indiana by Thomas A. Clifton [Page 211-213.] Date 1/1/1913. After the organization of the county in 1827, the voters proceeded to the election of the various county officers. James Cunningham served as the first Clark, Auditor and Recorder, all of these offices being combined in one. William Beckett was elected sheriff; Enoch Farmer, Treasurer, and Perrin Kent was appointed Surveyor by the Governor. The first Justices of the Peace were Thomas Cunningham, Lemuel Boyd, Edward Mace and Thomas Kearns. These men acted as the County Board and transacted the county business. Source: Warren County Centennial 1927 by Cecil E. Haupt. Date 8/24/1927 Later in the1860 Pickaway Co., OH census there is a Samuel Boyd listed: 745/746 Samuel Boyd 82 Ireland Nancy Ann 42 OH James E. 19 OH Samel G or A 17 OH Charles Elrick 5 OH Margaret 3 OH In Pickaway County Abstracts of Wills, 1808-1892: Samuel BOYD, mentions wife, children James, Samuel and their heirs. Made Jan _, 1858; Wit's. Alfred Cartmill & Edeard Fitsgerald; Probated Dec. 29, 1862. If anyone have connections to these Boyd families, I would love to hear from you. Thank you, Shirley Dunn s.millerdunn@comcast.net

I am looking for death/burial locations for two Thomas Boyds, both of whom died sometime between June 1830 and November 1832. Both immigrated from Ireland in 1830. One was b 1743, probably in Ireland but could have been Scotland; the other was b 1780 in Ireland. They died somewhere between their arrival in Baltimore and when the family left Pittsburgh for Holmes County, OH. Family stories have the younger Thomas still living when the family was in Pittsburgh. Farming was their profession. Shirley Boyd Columbus, OH

I am looking for more information on James W.Boyd and Deborah C. CROXSON married 9 Feb.1832 in Monmouth county, NJ. Thanks Virginia BOYD Eckert

I have a William Boyd who had a son born ca 1784 in Burke Co., NC and did in MS ca 1825. Would that be the one? Vivian in TX

I'm connected to early NC Boyds misspelled "BOYT" in early records. Ephraim and Elemuel BOYT are names that resurface as BOYDS in 1820's Franklin Co. MO, near St. Louis. They are listed in 1783 tax list and 1790 census in the Wilmington District, Duplin Co., NC. Someone out there in the "trees" has an unverified listing of Ephraim Boyd's parents as Thomas BOYD and Susannah NORTON. If I'm ever able to locate other descendents, it will open a large door in my brick wall. Does anyone have more info? Thanks, Mike Boyd St. Louis, MO

All my mail is getting returned. Mike Boyd St.Louis, MO

What county are you looking in? There are several William Boyd and Robert Boyd entries to be found in NC in 1790. (Boyd, not Boid). Mine are in Beaufort Co. and Pitt Co. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stacy Dennis" <stacyd@elmore.rr.com> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2005 12:03 PM Subject: [ClanBoyd] north carolina boids > I have found a William Boid on the 1790 census for North Carolina.

I am looking for information on AGNES BOYD born about 1851 in Ireland/Scotland. Married a WILLIAM MUIRHEAD born about 1851 in Ireland. They had 6 children. Her father was JAMES BOYD born about 1816, Ireland. Her mother was REBECCA DONALDSON GIBB born about 1823 Ireland. I show her having 4 siblings William Mary Martha Janet I need anything on this family. Grandparents? Any corrections on my info. Please write me. Joel Francis Reid

Carla, I need to make a correction to your information and it may help in your search in the process. In 1806 Harrison Co.(1813) Ohio did not exist. The area was Jefferson Co. then Tuscarawas Co. was formed in 1808. Jefferson Co. is the primary county and along the river. I live in the Tuscarawas Co. area and it does make research interesting. You may want to check more closely in Jefferson Co. My Boyd's trucked through the Brooks Co.WV area as well. James Boyd and his sister Mary Jane Boyd Jones were in the Collier Station area. James married and moved into the Tuscarawas - Carroll Co. area and Mary moved on south in WV. My Boyd's came from Cecil Co. MD Hope this helps.
