I believe that the Robert Boyd, captain, in Sadsbury Twp. might well be the son of James Boyd, son of my ancestor Robert Boyd. James also had a son Daniel, who is almost certainly the lieutenant in Sadsbury Twp. I think he is the only Daniel Boyd in that township. I have never been able to track either of these, although I have some guesses on both. Howard V. Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane C.
