Dear members, I am a descendent of Andrew Boyd. Census records indicate he was born in Pennsylvania in 1790. He married Ann Vernon (b. 3-22-1802), daughter of Nathaniel Vernon and Grace Mendenhall, in Miami County, Ohio on 5-22-1817. Land records indicate he owned four parcels of land in Darke and Miami counties maybe along the Miami River.They had three children Elizabeth 1835, Sarah 1838, and Margaret 1841. Elizabeth married Andrew warner Michael and they are my GGGrandparents. In the 1850 census the entries show a James and Martha Elliman living with them. In the 1860 census it appears that Ann died during that time and the Ellman family were taking care of Andrew. There is no entry for Andrew in the 1870 census so he must have died between 1860 and 1870. In the 1850 census it listed Andrew occupation as a carpenter. He was of the Quaker faith and there is some information about him. Ann and the Vernons and Mendenhalls but not much. I am looking for any help with information about him, his relatives or any direction you think I should take. Thank you very much for your assistance.
