Say i got your message I have a Thomas Boyd who came from Drumeltan, County Cavan, Ireland. On the land record in Ireland his older William Boyd, Brother went to County Chester , in Penn. in America. I think this Boyd family is related and the king pin two my McFaddens and Thompson's and Dobbins. All of whom have lived at on on the Farm called Drumeltan. Thompsons are married to McFadden's Dobbins are related to as aunt and uncle and I believe the tie is the Boyds who married into all of the above famlies and the common tie. Now the land record I found was 1737 or so but the time of the family coming to america would have to be after that. Sound interisting ? I hope your Thomas is the one whom I am looking for.
