Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/1090 Surname: Henderson, Boyd ------------------------- Sorry I can't give you much information on the Henderson-Boyd connection. The only name that sortof rings a bell is the Levi. Margaret Boyd lived in the Uriah Henderson household at Dunbar Fayette Co PA at the time of the 1850 census. Uriah and family move by 1854 to Florid-Putnam Co Illinis and I don't believe Margaret came with them but I can't be sure of this. Margaret Boyd was 50 at the time of the census in Dunbar. I have a theory that maybe Margaret Boyd was the widowed mother of Uriah's wife Eliza Hartman. I found the Hartman/Boyd connection in Westmoreland and although it didn't pertain specifically to my Eliza and Margaret it might give a plausible explanation as to Margaret's place in the Henderson home. Also I found that when Uriah and Eliza settle here in Putnam Co Ill they have a little girl who only lives about a year but her name is Margaret which makes me think that the elderly Margaret was indeed a family member of some sort. The census at Dunbar said Margaret was Irish. If I come across something more substantial I will post it and please contact me if you should come across some information that would connect our families.
