Good morning all I have just written to Terry, suggesting that he provide more details about this Charles Boyd born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Including for him to provide his direct Boyd tree back to this Charles Boyd. I am not aware of any Boyds living in this area this early, but that doe not mean that they were not there. I do know that Boyds form the USA that were loyal to the King, were expelled to Nova Scotia (and other parts of Canada) after the War of 1775- 1783. So., my FIRST THOUGHT IS THAT WHILE HE WAS BORN IN 1740, IT MAYBE ANOTHER LOCATION IN THE USA. We will see if this thought is correct ort not. Mike Boyd Brisbane, aust.

Terry It seems to be quite a common mistake, that if someone comes to a location that is then given for his place of birth. When can you first place him at Halifax, NS? From my "limited" knowledge of NS history, his family could come from the USA, Ireland or Scotland.
