I have a good Paper trail and dna matches that the paper stops at John Boyd B1795 Virginia Wife: Elizabeth Dungan Born 24 Mar 1798 7Mile Ford , Smyth Co Virginia - John’s birthplace is unknown . One census record for there son said VA The county’s Changed a bit in that part of VA.
They had a Son Andrew Jackson Boyd whom is my Grandfather other children of there’s include . Francis Boyd-Tankersely,
Charles Duncan BoydB 1818, Martha Boyd- Vermillion.? Dr James Harvey Boyd
Andrew Jackson Boyd Married Sarah Arnold . They lived in Russell Co, Va and moved around a bit after . Ther son Robert Cleveland Boyd was my GF. B 1841 VA d: 9 Mar 1924 Caldwell, Texas
He had a brother Napoleon Bonaparte Boyd who was born in Alabama and several other siblings. He married Penelope Lemley. And they had a son . Robert Walter Boyd B 10 May 1872 Robertson Co Tennessee d1962 Austin Co Texas. Married Eliza Lydia Wright. They had a so Walter Willard Boyd my 1st GGF and he has a son Robert Wellington Boyd
My GF. I suspect John’s ancestor may have migrated through Prince George after 1718 but nothing convincing yet .
The dna matches I have grouped are all female names that seem to tie into my Boyd line . Almost if John Boyd 1795 didn’t have any Uncles or if he did they didn’t have big families. They may have came down through the ShenandoayValley through Ny from New England but suspect they came over shortly after the 1718 migration. I have 20 cm matches that point to Isabelle Boyd Orr
And a few lower ones that point to James McGregor , Rachel Blair-Boyd family and Was thinking there is a Gray connection that match the 1718 family close to John Boyd maybe a mother or Grandmother but just a suspicious thought. Somehow these other families from that region tie into my tree as I all my other family’s in my tree are from different geographical locations . I have gone through a lot of names on file from Mike Boyd Historian from Australia and Colin Brooks 1718 Project who runs a Boyd Geneology Group.
I was thinking locating the Property that Isabelle Boyd Orr inherited might help . The one that was Mentioned on the Orr Family Reunion site.
Mike and Colin also mentioned a lot of info in the Blair Family History Book isn’t accurate or proven. I have a connection to the Blair’s as well that seem to tie in somehow. There are a lot of Boyd researchers out there none want to seem to take a YTest.
John Buckles Boyd Family I match on the Y but it could be after the migration to N Ireland where we have a common ancestor. Thanks for your help . I would recommend the Boyd IO group that Colin runs as Mike Boyd Historian is always looking to add more families to his Book and collection and Collin also is a 1718 Researcher . Maybe some collaboration could help all of us and Boyds families searching for there ancestors.
