My Centre county Boyds moved to Ohio about 1813. Elizabeth Boyd b. 1778 married William Watson b. 1771 in Centre county. When he died in 1810, she remarried Hugh McClelland. These Watson and McClelland families moved to Seneca county Ohio, Bloom township. Elizabeth Boyd's sister, Nancy, b. 1787 married James Steele b. 1773. They also married in Centre county. Nancy Boyd Steele died and James moved his Steele family to Ohio in the 1820's - 30's. A daughter of James and Nancy Boyd Steele. Martha G. Steele, married an Isaac Pennington. According to the 1850 census Isaac and Martha Steele Pennington lived with the Boyd, Steele, Watson, McClelland, and Donnel (another Boyd sister, Mary) families in Bloom Township, Seneca County Ohio. Isaac Pennington was born 1823 in Pennsylvania, according to the census. Living next to Isaac Pennington is a John Pennington b. 1804 PA and his wife, Mary Pennington b. 1807 OH. The others in that household, all born in OH, are, Henry b. 1840, Lovina b. 1833, Philip b. 1835, Solomon b. 1839. I don't know if these Watsons and Penningtons are related to your families but there continues to be some connection here, as they both married into the Boyd family.
