    3. >From the Boyd list there was this little bit of information "Since they misspelled the name you may have missed this, but did you know that DRUMORE Township is based on DROMORE, COUNTY DOWN, NIR ?? Drumore Township is an original township in 1729. What's got Boyd implications is that you have three Donegal townships (Raphoe, Donegal, Bart); one Derry township (Colerain); and one Down township (Dromore). I wonder who brought over the County Down place name. Do we have a Boyd family near there in Ireland?" However, in 1729 Drumore would have been in Chester County, PA in eastern PA on the border with Maryland. Does anyone on this list know of this migration in 1729 of people from Dromore?
