Ancestors of Daniel Mason Boyd/Hattie P. Mullins Londonderry
 

Dear Clan,

The pieces of this family puzzle just fell into place for me after
reading Karen's (Schrode) email on Daniel Mason Boyd.  What amazed me is
that the books and records have been here at home for almost a year, but I
could never figure out the connections.  The history of D.M. Boyd helped it all
come together.  Additionally, I found more proof of my direct line (not the
William Boyd family), and who they married from this email.  Though the father
of Thomas Boyd (b. 1757) still eludes me, Thomas's siblings are beginning to
fill out (ie.Robert Boyd who married Mary Dickey b. 1746 is a good bet as
Thomas's older brother).  I'm also closer to identifying the relatives of the
other early Boyds in Londonderry, NH history books.

I have written out the details on this family.  I can provide more info on the
related marriages if someone is interested. All the dates are from "Vital Records
of Londonderry, NH" Annis. Other connections are through Parkers "History of
Londonderry" and Willey's "History of Londonderry".  Due to my software program
I had to start with Daniel M. Boyd to provide the most info possible on the families.
I will follow-up with William Boyd's family from his first wife, Annie Orr.
