Maria, Does that book mention when Capt. John Boyd came to America? I hadn't seen that Boyd book mentioned before and I'm looking for early Boyds in or near to Philadelphia circa 1717-1720. Thanks, Colin Brooks
When you look in the PA. archives books, there are Boyds everywhere. It's like they all packed-up in mass. & moved to the U.S. early 1700's. Reminds me of the Mexicans crossing our border now-days. I'm still hoping for info on my Janet Boyd in Kilmarnock...I know her parents, and husband, and that she didn't make it to the U.S. She was born in Scotland, maybe died there or in Ireland.

Hi Jan I have a Janet Boyd born in 1816 in Scotland, died 1889 to John BOYD and Jean ROBB. She was the 10th child of 17 children of which 4 were still born. Any connection do you think?
