All NYC and Brooklyn. My Sarah Boyd was Sarah Sharkey b 1820s? My info is not before me! She married James Boyd and those Boyd's and the Sharkeys were in the tobacco business. I have green-wood records for Sharkeys and it lists Sarah's family. James died on the ferry between manhattan and Brooklyn. One of the best parts of genealogy is the opportunity to pass on info, so anything I have- you are welcome to it. I have photos of my Boyd's stones in green-wood. Next to the Sharkeys. Until then I didn't connect the families. Denise Plested .. San Antonio [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
