I have a James Boyd born around 1816 in Ireland. He married a Rebecca Donaldson Gibb. Born around 1823 in Ireland. (I think) I was given this info so I only have what I was given. Five children Agnes 1859-1919 William J 1847-? Mary 1849-? Martha 1853-? Janet 1858-? I show Agnes marrying William A Muirhead (my GG grandfather). I was told AGNES was born in Scotland. Perhaps the family moved there. I know many Muirhead/Moorhead's who earlier in the 1600's moved into Ireland when the King offered land to many if they would develop it. Many moved back into Scotland through out the 1700 and 1800's. And many stayed in Ireland. When the Muirheads went into Ireland they changed the spelling of their names to Moorhead. It was more of an English spelling. I guess it was to keep their Scottish ancestry quiet or as loyalty to the King. SO if anyone has any info about this BOYD family. You might show them with Muirhead or Moorhead. It depends on where and when it was written. Thank You Joel Reid

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
