In the limited research I have been able to do, in conjunction with Bill 
Boyd, I am just about convinced that there were two John BOYDs in the 
general vicinity of Union and Newberry Districts, SC, in about the same 
time frame (approximately 1775 - 1815).  Bill and I have discussed several 
possibilities in this respect: 1. there were two John Boyds; 2. there were 
two John Boyds, and one was the son of the other; 3. our John Boyd was not 
married to Jane BARNARDOE (and various spellings); 4.  some researchers 
have without intent have inserted information in the wrong family group; 
5.  we should go directly to Union District, SC, and Columbia in person to 
sort this questionable situation out.  We are open to any suggestion.  And 
I am convinced that there are persons in SC today searching this same line 
who have the information, but will not share it for various reasons.  I 
have corresponded with two or three people who want the information I have 
but are not willing to share what they have.   I guess that is the way 
"genealogical research" is done.  Not bitter and no sour grapes, just 
facts.  Jim Allen, mailto:[email protected].
