General Notes: Husband - Thomas Boyd


Three men named "Boyd"' came together to America from Ireland in 1729, and, with their families, settled on Marsh Creek, in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania. These men were Thomas Boyd, William Boyd and John Boyd. It is presumed that Thomas and William were brothers, and that John was a son of William.

He was a tanner and farmer.
