Greetings, I've posted my line a few times in the past, but always hit a brick wall. Hopefully the mass of information I am sending will connect with someone. I doubt the text formatting will survive e-mailing. If you have questions, let me know. If you are connected to this family, please contact me. William as a brother of Bruce and Alexander is my best guess, based on a few secondary sources. If you know who the unknown BOYD is, I would love to know.
