I find the information about Boyd Tavern and Boydton interesting. My Boyd connection is a 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth Boyd. She married George Farrar on 22 Aug 1783 in Mecklenburg Co., VA. I have always felt that she must have been kin to Alexander Boyd mentioned in the article, since he was married to Ann Swepson, daughter of Richard Swepson, Sr. and surety for Elizabeth Boyd's and George Farrar's marriage was Richard Swepson, Jr. I have not been able to establish any conclusive connection. Any help would be appreciated. John F. Walker
