Surnames: Boyd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2dB.2ACI/2580.1 Message Board Post: I just acquired the book "The History of Westmoreland County" and while this is not a family connection for me, found something about the Boyd's on page 553, under the section titled "North Huntingdon Township." Buried among the early settlers at the Long Run Presbyterian Church Cemetery, "John Boyd, died May 18, 1840, aged 78; his wife, Rachel, died Oct. 29, 1848, aged 68." Hope that helps. I'll see if I can find anything else on this line if you think it would be helpful. Tamara
