Conjecture
Research
- The family of a Robert Boyd is found in proximity to the Boyd/Boyle families of Worth & Slippery Rock Twps., Butler Co. PA One Joseph Thornton mentions Robert Boyd in his will, and a daughter Martha Boyd. The wording in transcription is unclear as to whether Thornton is referring to Martha as a daughter of Robert Boyd, or Martha as his own daughter. If the former, it would suggest that Robert Boyd were the father of the Martha Boyd, wife of John Boyle, this page.
- Voltz notes that the name "Robert" ( as a possibility for the father of Martha Boyd) does not appear in other Boyd/Boyle generations (i.e., following the family's propensity for name repetition; for example, the name "Thomas" is found in several generations down to present time).
- Thomas Boyd Boyle, born about 1813, is reported variously as being in Jacksville, Worth Twp., Butler Co. PA, or Middlesex Twp. Butler Co. PA, or Beaver Co. (a teacher). These census & etc. data are not confirmed to be regarding the same individual.
- Descendants of a Robert Boyd of Beaver Co. live near the Boyle family in later census.
Research Wishlist
- Martha Boyd died at an early age, before 1820, so doesn't appear in wills. The 1810 census for John Boyle & Martha Boyd, not found, would pinpoint their location near their marriage date.
- copy of will of Joseph Thornton (refers to a Martha Boyd, but relationship unclear in transcript).
