Several weeks ago I had an email from Someone who was collecting all of the obituaries of those who were buried at Lytton Springs,Texas. To make a long story short, she gave me the name of someone who was doing research about the Boyds who were buried there. To make another story short she verified that INDEED I had been researching the correct Boyd family ! The Robert Boyd who married Eleanor/Katherine Porterfield was the correct Boyd line who was directly connected to Robert C. Boyd,George Andrew Boyd, and Walter Andrew Boyd (my grandfather) who are all buried in Lytton Springs. Could anyone who is also researching this same Boyd line please email me and then we can share research. I seem to remember that I was in contact with someone whose first name was David who was connected to this family. I really wish that I could find out more about the Robert Boyd who married Eleanor/Katherine Porterfield, and possibly his parents and/pr grandparents. Thanks very much and good luck with all of your researches, Gwendalynn (Gwendy) Gohlke Dunn

Mrs. Dunn, My name is David Boyd and I'm the one who e-mailed you about the Boyd's here in West Virginia. If you could send me your address I will send you a print out of what I have that maybe of interest to you. I am sorry that we did not follow up on this sometime ago but you how things get and we all forget the little things. Anyway send me your address and I'll send you some info. Maybe you could do the same and help unlock some family misteries.

I tried to send this to David's email address, but it was returned so I am using the ClanBoyd email address. Here is my mailing address: Gwendy Dunn 425 Driftwind Drive San Antonio,Texas 78239 Do you have any pictures of any of these Boyds? I don't even have any pictures of my grandfather Walter Andrew Boyd since he died when my mother was only 13 years old and he was separated from my grandmother at that time. I think that my aunt, Dorothy Boyd took a lot of my grandmothers pictures many years ago and some day hope to see some of these and scan them all. Thanks again for your reply.

Could you possibly send me another gedcom file of your Boyds? I have been seeing some discrepancies concerning the Robert Boyd who was born about 1718 in Ireland and married an Eleanor/Katherine Porterfield. In one instance he had two children, Robert and Esther and Robert died in 1752. In the other Robert had Patrick Boyd and Robert died in 1759. Could Patrick not be his complete name, but really Robert Patrick or Patrick Robert? Did your Robert Boyd marry an Eleanor Porterfield or did he marry a Katherine Porterfield? Maybe we are talking about two separate people, and that there were two Robert Boyds who lived nearby who married two women with the last name of Porterfield and ended up living very near each other. That is the reason why I would like to have a gedcom file of your Boyds so that I can compare it with the other information and files that I have.
