Greetings, Thanks very much for your E-Mail. My BOYDs include John BOYD and his wife Jane BARNARDOE (with various spellings) who were in Union District, SC, prior to the American Revolution. John fought with Colonel Charles C. Pinkney. They had a large family and had brought one or two children with them from Ireland. John died prior to 1815 when his will was proven. Jane died in 1835. Their son Samuel married Mary Ann "Polly" ??Thompson?? in SC and moved to Monroe County, Mississippi, by 1826-30. Samuel sister, Nancy BOYD married Abraham KEASLER (or Kiesler, or Kesler) in Union District, SC. Samuel's daughter Christina married Thomas A. STEWART. Christina's brother, Simon Jeremiah BOYD was my great grandfather. Simon's daughter, Malinda Catherine BOYD married Marion Columbus HOLLINGSWORTH, and my Mother was their first child. I do not have a Robert BOYD in my file. I'm sure there is a connection, but it may be lost to us. Every good wish. Jim Allen.
