Good morning all It is over 25 years that I was first introduced to the families of John Boyd of the Irish Settlement in Bucks County, PA and his younger brother Rev Adam Boyd of Upper Octorara, Chester County, PA. However, it was not until this morning that the “thought” came to mind, as to where in Chester County, PA did John Boyd lived before he and his wife Janet Craig, went in 1729 to the Irish Settlement in Bucks County, PA. I am assuming that they lived in Chester County, PA and I assume between 1715, when they were married, and 1729, when they moved to Irish Settlement in Bucks County, I would expect that all their 6 or so children were also born in this location. Can any members of this list supply where this family lived before Bucks County, PA in 1729? Thank you for your assistance Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

Married in Philadelphia not Chester County. Went to Chester County after 1755 Indian attacks in Northampton. Philly or Bucks County family.

Thank you Colin for this information, which I can add to Chapter 4/208. 1) Do you "know" where after 1755 in Chester County, PA that the family lived. My understanding is that both John and Janet died in about 1750 in Bucks co., PA before Northampton County was formed in 1752. 2) Your phrase "Philly or Bucks County family" - does this mean the seven children's birth? 3 I would ESTIMATE that all seven children were born between 1715 and 1729 before they moved. Although the 7th may have have been born in the Irish Settlement in Bucks County!!

I show that he came from Philadelphia per Scotch-Irish of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, p. 46. "As early as 1728, John Boyd, who had married Jane Craig, went with Colonel Thomas Craig from Philadelphia and settled at a place...later known as the Craig Settlement." https://digital.libraries.psu.edu/digital/collection/digitalbks2/id/12902 Lorraine Allrelated On Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 4:38 PM Mike Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning all > > > > It is over 25 years that I was first introduced to the families of John > Boyd of the Irish Settlement in Bucks County, PA and his younger brother > Rev Adam Boyd of Upper Octorara, Chester County, PA. > > > > However, it was not until this morning that the “thought” came to mind, as > to where in Chester County, PA did John Boyd lived before he and his wife > Janet Craig, went in 1729 to the Irish Settlement in Bucks County, PA. > > > > I am assuming that they lived in Chester County, PA and I assume between > 1715, when they were married, and 1729, when they moved to Irish Settlement > in Bucks County, I would expect that all their 6 or so children were also > born in this location. > > > > Can any members of this list supply where this family lived before Bucks > County, PA in 1729? > > > > Thank you for your assistance > > > > > > Mike Boyd > > Brisbane, Aust. > > _______________________________________________ > > > > > ___________________________________ > NOTE: Use the data on this list as a finding tool, just as you would any > other secondary source.

Thank you Lorraine. 1. Do you know the date of when this book was published? It will help to reference when some the people were still alive. 2. Mary Helton, I have only had time to look at the Craig Settlement in Allan Township (or Irish Settlement), but I could only see the family of John Boyd and Jane Craig. But I am not sure if it may show other Boyds in other Townships. I will now have to get time to see if what is included hear, can add to what I already have in Chapter 4/208.
