PATRICK BOYD
Patrick (1759-1835) an orphan, was in 1772 bound to John Crawford, a
blacksmith. Four years later he came before the Augusta court to complain of
ill treatment by his master. By 17S3 he was living on the place now occupied
by his grandson, Edward Boyd, and had a shop where he pursued the trade of
blacksmitlt and bellmaker. He acquired much prop-erty and left his children
well provided for. It is thought that his father's name was Robert and that
his mother was a Porterfield. He seems to have had a sister Esther, born
1750. Her father Robert died before 1765. His marriage to Ann McDowell is
said to have taken place at Donally's fort. C: Robert (Catharine Ballantyne)
