Good morning all I recent weeks, there have been a number of queries concerning the family of George and Isabella Boyd of Compass, PA. I do not have an full list of publications on this family only these two 1. The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd. (1970). 107 p. 71-126643 MARC. [This can be purchased from Mrs E. Boyd, 291 Chewacia Drive, Auburn GA 36830 for $US 6.50 - as advised by Raymond Ryan] (As I was given this advice about 25 years ago, I would very much doubt that Mrs Boyd is still alive today, but some relative me still live at this address?) 2. Captives' Mansion by S. R.. Slaymaker II, published in 1973. [title given by Brenda Cornelius, # 5 researchers list] I assume that the Boyd “Captive’ Mansion”, is different from the “Slaymaker Papers” that many people talk about. It is my “understanding, that these “Slaymaker Papers” at held at the Lancaster County Historical Society in Pennsylvania. I was taken to this Society in 2010, but we did not look at those Papers, but at other Boyd families, that they had. Does, any list members know if the Lancaster County Historical Society actually does house these “Slaymaker Papers”? And has anyone “researched” these papers? And is there further work that need to be done with these Papers? 3. While I was at the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, Boston, MA in 2016, doing research as the Chairman of the Historical Committee of the House of Boyd Society, I was given pages 132, 139, 192-193, 198 and 209, of a book that seems to be titled “Boyd Family” – I was not given the title page. If my memory is now correct after three and a quarter-years, this work was done by Gary Boyd Roberts, whom can be reached C/- of NEHGS, in Boston, MA. And he is descendant of this family of George and Isabella Boyd of Compass, PA, but I am not quite sure which of the five brothers he descends from. Nor am I sure of when this publication was written, to know if its data is dated or not. Or how widely this publication was circulated. So, it may mean those wishing to determine how much is already known, may need to contact the NEHGS to see if this book is available or can be copied. 4. Amongst the additional papers I was given by the NEHGS staff, was letter of 3 January 1965 from Mary Canada of Durham, NC – who was also a descendant of this family. [She is new to me.] She starts that her goal is to get something written up for the “Virginia Genealogist”. I know that I have not come across this source in the last 10 years of doing trips to the USA. So, it may be worth some of our Virginia cousins seeing, if after 1965, if she had written any articles for this “Journal”? 5. Mrs Mary Canada, in her 1965 letter to Gary Boyd Roberts, also mentioned Lancaster County Historical Society – “Papers”, xxi, No 10, 1917, page 160 and Vol. Xiii, No 6, June 4, 1909 page 135. So, this Journal, may also need to be searched for any other references to the George and Isabella Boyd’s family or their Family in Halifax County, Virginia or Granville County, North Carolina. 6. Mrs Mary Canada in her 1965 letter mentioned Margaret Jamieson (Mrs C. M) of Marks, Mississippi. (And she has a whole contingent working with her.) I have not heard of Mrs Margaret Jamieson of MS before and I am unaware if she has written anything up on her own research of this family of George and Isabella Boyd of Compass, PA. 7. Since I became Chairman of the Historical Committee in April 2002, I been sent from time to time, some of the writings of Walter Boyd of NC. But I am not yet aware if also has or has not written any book on his research. 8. While it is known that a number of members of this family were in the War of Independence and some are listed in the 1990 DAR Patriot Index, and therefore assume that there is some DAR data on various members of this family, but I can’t cite any DAR reference to them. Are list members aware of any other books, publications, articles on this family that I can add to the bottom of Family Chapter 5/266? Thank you for your assistance. Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

I have hardback copies of both: The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd. (1970). 107 p. 71-126643 MARC. Captives' Mansion by S. R.. Slaymaker II, published in 1973. [title given by Brenda Cornelius, # 5 researchers list] The Boyds of Boyds Tank is crammed full with Boyd connections and family. The Slaymaker Book describes itself as "An American family chronicle covering nine generations and 200 years in a Pennsylvania rural manor". It mentions the Boyds but it's only to support the main theme. I smiled at: "In early years Amos [Slaymaker] would have kept clear of James Boyd's affairs. Boyd's designs were so transparently dishonest that eventually detection and legal retribution were foregone conclusions. But by 1811 Amos must have felt confident to make right any situation and to profit from it as well" Does, any list members know if the Lancaster County Historical Society actually does house these “Slaymaker Papers”? I am told yes - 5 or so boxes of them but not all to do with the Boyds. Thank you.
