My gr.gr.gr. grandfather was named Andrew Boyd. His son William is my gr.gr grandfather and lived many years in Monongalia Co. (W) Va. William had brothers named Andrew and Archibald. From a court record in Monongalia Co. I have learned that the father Andrew had a wife named Margaret. The 1850 census says William was born in Maryland in 1771 and died in (W) Va. in 1856. I would love to be able to link them. Andrew died around 1816. Margaret lived into the 1830s. Regards, Harry Harry, My great-great grandfather was named Archibald Boyd who married Susannah Parnell. I think he was born in 1809. Could this be the same Archibald? I don't know much about him. Any info you may have could help me out.
