Been in Utah for General Conference of the Church, so am a little late, but WELCOME, Thomas J. BOYD. My John BOYD goes back to Flushing, NY (d 1865) with a son, Elijah, and family moving to Natchez, Miss. Good luck with your research. Sally O. in Alaska

Hi Sally....good to hear from you. Did you enjoy Conference? We just moved to Orem, Utah in November from Panama City, Florida where we lived for 18 years. And....this is a coincidence, I graduated from high school in Anchorage, Alaska......a long time ago. Anyway...I have a Loyalist ancestor...Henry Magee who came to America pretty early and settled in Pennsylvania. Had a grist mill (didn't everyone???)...refused to grind wheat for the local guys and was thrown in jail....escaped and eventually found his way to Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the meantime....back at the ranch....(the grist mill)...his wife and two children were forced of the land and walked (at least that's the story) with help along the way from Quakers...and eventually was reunited with Henry in Nova Scotia (after a period of about 5 years, I believe). Henry's wife's name was Nora BOYD. I haven't found where they were married yet....it might have been in Pennsylvania....I just don't know for sure. I have a copy of his Loyalist claims, etc....claiming he was from Enniskillen in Ireland...county Armaugh.....and yet, his tombstone says Fermanaugh. I would THINK his Loyalist papers would be accurate. Or, perhaps, he really was born in Fermanaugh and went to Armaugh and left for America from there. Where in Alaska do you live? Would love e-mailing back and forth....thanks..Natalie Thompson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick &Sally Oelrich" <ricko@alaska.net> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 10:32 PM Subject: Re: [ClanBoyd] Welcome Thomas J.

Hi Natalie, Small world, isn't it?!! We live in Soldotna, Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula. I've been here since 1968, having moved from Massachusetts where I still have a sister living. I have a son in Wellsville, Utah, and two more up here. My husband's 6 children are spread out from here to California, New Mexico, Colorado, and Virginia so we make excursions to about everywhere in the U.S. Doesn't look like I can help you much on the BOYD line. My John, although he was a stage (mail) driver and later a constable in Flushing, NY, seems to have dropped in from the sky: his death card says he was born in Wilmington, NC, but after extensive research there we have found no trace of him. Best of luck with your own research; there seem to be BOYDs everywhere! Would love to keep in touch. Sally O.

Oh, my goodness....another coincidence! I was born in Massachusetts! Also, I went to school with a Nancy Seljestad....her husband is Terry....and they live somewhere up there in the BIG STATE ! I was a cheerleader with her in high school....will talk to you later about BOYD.
