This web site is about the Boyd Family that lives in Tipton County, Tennessee. It traces the history of the family from William Boyd who immigrated to South Carolina from Ireland before the Revolutionary War through the migration from South Carolina to Mississippi and then to Tennessee, as well as other branches of the family. In addition to the Boyds, families of Margaret Ford (including Lowrey and Ford) and Kathryn Edwards are included.
The major surnames included are Boyd, Simonton, McQuiston, Black, Edwards, Ford, and Lowrey. Here is a complete list of Surnames.
Family Tree, under the Family Tree menu above is a comprehensive genealogical package that contains all of the genealogy information that I currently have including photos, documents and cemeteries. This is the best place to find information on anyone.
The surname tree, also found under the Family Tree menu tab shows the surnames of all of the direct ancestors of a particular person. At this time, there is a surname tree of the Children of William and Beryl Black Boyd, and for the children of Tom and Harriet Lowrey Ford.
