This area sounds like Chester Co. Pennsylvania. Believe it or not, it would not be that long of a walk to New Jersey or New York from there, so to speak. The western part of what is now New Jersey was once part of PA's Chester Co. I think PA was in a squabble with all the surrounding states over her borders!!

Hi Ingrid....that was a quick reply! My Henry Magee landed at Philadelphia...purchased a tract of land west of Philadelphia but later moved to Perth Valley. His wife, Nora, has also been called Ann. Supposedly, as the "story" goes, she walked with her two boys, eight and two yrs old, to New York where she found work sewing for the wives of British Officers. She eventually reached Halifax, Nova Scotia, aboard a man-o-war. It had been FIVE years since Henry fled Pennsylvania...but they were finally reunited. Looking at my Magee File I note that there is a marriage record on the IGI in the LDS records stating that Henry Magee and Ann Boyde were married in 1765 at the Diocese of Clogher, Ulster Province, Ireland. It is peculiar because in his Loyalist Papers HE states that he is from Enniskillen, Fermanaugh, Ireland...but in another source it said he lived in Armagh. Don't you love it? Anyway, I am searching info on both of them.

Alabama from South Carolina with his father John Boyd and his mother Jane Dial. David Ross Boyd

Jane: Great response! I hesitated because this is a genealogy forum....however....you did it with grace and HISTORIC interest. I have really enjoyed all this information regarding movement of the Boyd's. However, it hasn't helped me YET with my Boyd.....Nora Boyd married Henry Magee in IRELAND. Henry was from Eniskillen according to his Loyalist papers. No mention so far of where Nora was born. They were in Pennsylvania first....early....where Henry operated a grist mill and refused to feed the colonials. Ended up in jail....escaped with several of his buddies. Meanwhile, back at the grist mill....Nora and two children were forced to leave their land and, as the story goes, walked to New York or New Jersey where eventually she boarded a ship and was reunited with Henry in Nova Scotia. I have Henry's loyalist papers....but the only thing that helps me with Nora is that he was from Enniskillen, Ireland. Anyone recognize anything? Natalie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane C.

No matter how flat a pancake there are always 2 sides. Just as in the War of 1812, British Canada did what the Americans were doing, driving off the "enemy". If the British hadn't tried to come into the ports of New Orleans, Baltimore and up the Chesapeake, the "new Americans" would not have felt the need to fight them off, same in Canada. Still, 2 sides. I still had ancestors that moved back and forth of the Canadian border for work, into the late 1890's and early 1900"s. Load up on the train or into a car or wagon (horse-drawn) and head for Detroit or Buffalo. Don't forget all the Boyd's that just flat out had itchy feet and traveled west to see what was there!!!! Or anywhere else that interested them. Good luck in searching both sides of the border.

Note: This exchange may be of interest to other Boyd researchers, so I am copying them. Besides, I would greatly appreciate their take on this question of war and migration. Gordon, Yes, like all nations, the United States has a bit of selective memory when it comes to victories and defeats. Of course, some Americans consider the War of 1812 to be something of a mopping up operation after the War of Independence. I remember when I was a kid, my friends went around saying things like "Yeh, we may be like stripped candy cane, but we have never been licked" - which of course they got from adults - and was not literally true even before Vietnam. The problem with chauvinism and nationalism anywhere that it bublles up is that it breeds the idea of invincibility that in turn leads to belligerence and concepts like pre-emptive wars - and out and out jingoism. All nations do this to greater or lesser extent. Yes, it is ironic at least that our national anthem came out of the "forgotten war." Once again, history is the context and a primary tool of genealogy. I don't know what the answer is, but a potentially important question comes up now that we are entertaining the possibility that at least one Boyd family split and wound up on opposite sides of the U.S/Canada border at a time of unsettled personal allegiances. What if any influence did personal allegiances have on migration decisions? By the time our (known) Boyd ancestors settled in Canada about 1825, it was about 13 years after the War of 1812. Moreover, in 1812 those Boyds would have been only 10-15 years old. But, if Canada "remembers" 92 years later, as you suggest, then these Boyds must have been influenced by the Canadian "perspective." Besides, they were still British subjects. This gets complicated when the possibility that they spent time in the United States before migrating to Canada is considered, especially if "kin" had preceded them for any length of time. Also, while "Canadians" may h! ave felt a common purpose regarding the War of 1812, many of the Scots-Irish Presbyterians had no love lost for the British - and might have been (at least secretly) sympathetic to the American cause. Could, in fact, sharply divergent positions on national loyalties even "caused" the migration of some Boyds to Canada? The great thing about having your assistance on this project is that not only are you an excellent genealogist, as a Canadian, you can give us a "different perspective" on these questions. It would be interesting to learn how the English, Scottish, Irish, and Australian (and so on) Boyds perceive this bit of history. It seems I sparked something of a renewed buzz on the Boyd lists about Boyd migrations in the United States and there were some really excellent descriptions of the migration patterns of individual Boyd families. I will try to digest some of that material and offer more comments. We are fortunate to have our resident Boyd historians like Mike and Laura and Richard and Eddie for help on this.

Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Gordon Hillman To: 'LAWRENCE BOYD' Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 5:19 AM Subject: A Wayward Seaman I guess when searching in Missouri we have to consider that the men may be away from home serving in the frontier military and the wife is not necessarily a widow if the men are not on the census.

My family of Boyds immigrated from Scotland directly to Nova Scotia in 1802 aboard the Dove of Aberdeen settling in Antigonish NS, from there they migrated to Ontario and Boston for work as NS was hit hard during the depression. I'm sure other Boyd familys came to the States in the same was as it was less expensive to book passage from Scotland to Canada, didn't involve having to go through the Ellis Island health check proceedures and settlers were given land to farm in NS. It was, however, a rough life, you would land in Pictou NS, where the land grant office was and then had to buy all your supplies there, including your transportation to your land. You then had to load all your supplies, food, tools, nails, seed, farm animals etc. into the boat or wagon and get to the land. My grandmother's family the MacInnis's lived in a lean to built into the side of the hill for their first winter, at one point they had to dig up their seed potatoes to eat. It is easy to see why families are clustered together as they could share tools and breeding stock. I really enjoy reading about how other Boyds came to America. While the name isn't as common as other Scot names like MacDonald they certainly got around and prospered. God Bless! Teri Boyd

Land was always the motivating factor in moving. My gr. moved from Kansas to NM, the Homestead Act. He got 120 acres of free land...unfortunately, it was in the middle of the desert, with little water. But Scot that he was, he built a small frame house, bought a couple of cows, and dry farmed. Later on he added on to the house. I think his cow herd increased, and that's how he made money....sold the calves. I have his old money ledger, and it's scary to look at....$2.00, $1.50...he counted every penny. And they NEVER threw anything away. I found hanks of my gr.grandmothers hair in a dresser drawer when I was a kid. And you're right....white man's greed. My SIL is a Creek Indian...his ancestors were part of the Trail of Tears to OK.

Folks, Jan is entirely correct on why families moved so much. As a matter of fact most States held land lotteries in the 19th Century this does not include The Federal Homestead Act passed post U. S. Civil War to encourage settlement in our Western States. I know for a fact that Georgia held a Land Lottery every year from 1800 - 1909 and in 1832 GA held a Gold Lottery to encourage the mining of gold in the North GA Mountains which was actually land that belonged to the Cherokee Indian Nation. This one gold lottery to satisfy the white man's greed for a yellow rock is the prime factor that led to the " Trail Of Tears" from GA to Oklahoma Territory in 1835 - 1836. Yours Aye, David D. Boyd Marietta, GA

Hi, there's a story in my family in the UK that my Boyd was a sea captain from either Portsmouth or Plymouth who sailed up the Clyde and married a 14 year old but I haven't found anything as yet. The earliest I've gone back to is James Boyd married Janet McEwan in Crieff on 19th April, 1844 and his son Alexander married Eliza Reid McDougall in Crieff on 6th June 1880. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Boyd" <c.p.boyd@mindspring.com> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2004 1:42 AM Subject: [ClanBoyd] Boyd migrations > I think that this migration project is extremely useful.

Friends, My Boyd origins are really fuzzy. The first Boyd that I know of is Robert "Lopaka" Boyd, born 1776-1785, according to some records, in Grenada, West Indies, as a citizen of Great Britain. Thomas Miles, Boyd historian, says Robert Boyd probably arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1791 or 1792. He was King Kamehameha's shipbuilder and constructed the first double-hulled canoe capable of withstanding cannon fire for the King's tiny navy. He died in Honolulu, Hawaii 17 Jul 1870 and is buried in Oahu Cemetery. Hawaiian records say he arrived in the Islands 1 Oct 1822...and that he was naturalized there 18 May 1844. His descendants were important figures in the cabinets of the Hawaiian royal families, and there is a better record of their lives...but the first Robert is an enigma still. Can anybody make sense of all this?

George S. and his brother John Henry Boyd ended up in Michigan which explains why I was born here. George came back to Michigan in 1929 after the stock market crash and during the Depression. > > My Boyd family left relatives all over New England from Massachusetts to Vermont, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and etc. Over the years (and especially with the advent of the Internet) I have met several of these distant Boyd cousins in many of the above areas.

Richard, Do you know if your Massachusetts Boyd's had a son named Samuel R. b. abt 1813 in Massachusetts. I've written about him, but no one answered and I don't know if my e mail is even getting out. Samuel R married Louisa Jane Haskins about 1838, they had 5 children all in Illinois. I am descended from this line, but I don't know if it links to anyone else here. Please respond. Rita Carroll --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

My great-grandmother was Mary "Molly" J. Boyd born about 1854 in Ashland County, Ohio. She married Edmund Castor. Her parents were Robert C. Boyd and Anne Johnston. Robert was from Wayne County, Ohio and Anne was from Germantown, Philadelphia County, PA. I think Robert's parents were John Boyd, Jr. and Ann Baine but I have no proof.

Had I had the insights, gained in just the past few weeks, in my early searches, I'd have progressed a lot faster than I have. My oldest known (Archibald) Boyd (d 1820) appeared in Chester, SC in 1801 when he bought property from his father-in-law, Robert Jamison. Robert, in contrast, can be traced in South Carolina back to 1779 through property records. They probably migrated from either Pennsylvania or Maryland; inconsistent family documents lead to both. The same documents say they were from Ballymena.

The number one thing that genealogists need to know, is the migration routes, and why they moved. It was usually due to land being opened up...either for sale, or grants for military service. A lot of land was granted for Rev. War service, and a lot of the land later probated to children. The usual migration route from VA went to the Carolinas, via the Wagon Trail from PA, thru Virginia, to the Carolinas. People living in southern VA (Botetourt Co), moved through the Cumberland Gap to Kentucky, Tenn. People who lived in Northern Virginia, Maryland, etc., went down the Ohio River to claim land.
