Good Day,
My relative completed a book beginning with Robert Boyd through to present day generations in Ohio. I believe that you are referring to my 2nd and 3rd great grandfathers in your post. The name of the book is Boyd Hunting in America - Descendants of Robert Boyd and Jane Ramsey of County Donegal, Ireland and Coshocton County, Ohio by Nancy Boyd Ward Leinweber. It's 778 pages thick with multiple detailed lines from Ireland to America and Ireland to Australia.
My particular line: Robert/Jane (Ramsey) Boyd, John E./Zelma Adresta (Boyd) Hamilton, Thomas H./Menema (Deeds) Hamilton, John T./Oleen (Hamilton) Anderson, Brad/Cinda (Anderson) White, me.
We hope to visit in 2020 and want to explore the area and possibly meet relatives.
