Answers to Rich & Jeff Answer to Rich...... No I hadn't. My guess is that this Dorcus is the mother of Washington Boyd, best as I can tell. I reckon I need to write to Bath County for a copy of the record since it's doubtful I'll get down there anytime soon. Thanks Rich!

I do not see Jackson anywhere in these Boyd families. Aaron & Dorcas were in Illinois only a very short time, at the most, 3 years. And they located there around 1850, not as late as the Civil War.
