BOYD FAMILY HISTORY.
From L.E. Boyd (West Monrow, NY - 2002) and two other researchers, originally copy sent to me, Marilyn Terry Hudson, in 1992. My father's mother was Edna Maggie Boyd, daughter of William Sylvester Boyd, son of Hans Boyd, son of William Boyd.... Boyd Family History, 1911 by Genevieve Boyd Smith, Ellen Boyd and Bertha Boyd.[Used with Permission].

" William Boyd, the first of our ancestors of whom we have any record, was born at Lynchen, County Down, Ireland on March 24, 1768. [1] He always lived with his grandfather. He was a college man and was also an engraver and slater by trade. Some say he was also a civil engineer. He has been described as gentle and scholarly.

He was first married when quite young to Peggy COOPER. She soon died leaving one child a daughter named Jane who lived with her mother's people and is supposed to have died soon after her father came to America.

For his second wife, William Boyd married Elizabeth Carson. He always called her Betty.

To them were born ten children: seven girls and three boys. The two oldest, Margaret and Ann died in Ireland. Next came Hans and then Ann and Margaret named for the lost ones. Then another Jane, and William, Mary, Samuel, and Elizabeth."
