My secondgreat grandfather, John BOYD, marriedJane MONTGOMERY in Newberry MONTGOMERYbox WittiamBO-YD signed as Securityfor the marriage.The affidavit was found in the Robert in Newberry. Her uncle was appointedguardian after the death of her father ThomasMONTGOMERY. Her mother was Ann SPENCE, the daughterof Andrew SPENCE and Mary CALDWELL.

The BOYDS went on to Western KY where he had land grants.Who were the parentsof this JohnBOYD? He was born 1807in KY accordingto all census records.Their first child, William SpenceBOYD was born in SC. Johnand Jane BOYD are buried at Beech Grove CumberlandPresbyterian Church in GravesCo. KY. I would shareany researchon this family for any information as to his parentage. I am searchingfor the datesthat Andrew SPENCE and his family cameto SC from Ireland.

Did they have to take an oath of allegiancesomewhere at that time in SC?If so where?

Thetipoffis thatthese files all havethe file name extension.ZP. Let us examinewhat this is all aboutand how to dealwith ZIPs. The ideabehind a compressedformat is very muchthe way we dealwith liquids zuchas orange juice, milk, cofreeor eggs. Commonto theseis that theycontain better than 90% water. Whentansportation is scarceor expensive,a goodway to ship theseproducts is to extact the water andship the solidswhich will weigha lot lessand take up a lot lessspace. At the destination,jN addwater and stir andnow againwe havemilk or orangejuice, etc.,almost as goodas the original. The samedso appliesto cornputerfiles, bo0r programand data files. Insteadof waterthey contain repetitive and redrmdant bit patternswhich canbe extractedand later addedback to makethe files fully functionalagain. In the caseof computerfiles, the compactionand extraction process makes use of mathematicalformulas which werediscovcred by threemathernaticians in Israelseveral decades ago. Beingpure scientists and not very business-minded,they failcd to takeout I patent for their discovery.If theycould have charged royalties wery time files arecompressed and de-compressed, thcy probablycould be as wealthyas Bill Gates.Such is life! Much as it is muchmore economical to ship milk or eggpowder or instantcoffee, much can be gainedby compressingfiles p,riorto uploadingthem electonically or mailingthe,rn with diskettes.Here is an example:The Old PendletonDatabase as a GEDCOMfile at presenttakes up roughly31,000,000 bytes. Since a diskettewill holdaround 1,500 bytes, this means to mail thefile to someonewould takeroughly 20 diskenes.Quite a packageand some hefty postage. The samefile compressedinto ZIP formatwill be slightlymore than5,000,000 bytes or only fotu diskettes.In our example,25,000,000 bytes are repetitive and redundant bit panernsor tlre equivalentof water. Putanother way to dovmloada 31,000,0@byte file requiresroughly 180 minutes, the same file in ZIP formatonly 30. I think theseexamples demonstrate the valueof shippingcompressed files. Is therea downsideto the ZIP fmrnat? Absolutelynot. The compressionand decompression process makes heavy use of error checkingbytes to assurethat whateverwas ottracted will b€ addedback to preventdata loss. lf a ZP file uncompresses,you canbe surethat you have I 00% of the original databack. [There is alwaysa possibilitythat a file canbe damagedin transit,be it electonicallyor in the mail but that hasnothing to do with the compression/decompressionprocess. ] Beforea ZIP filecanbe used,it mustbe decompressed,so how do we do that? A ver', popularprogram is PKUNZIP.HG. It is a very small,28K programthat hasbeen around for a numberof yearsand is a sharewareprograrn. It canbe foundon the Internetin a numberof placeswhen you searchfor it. Oncedownloaded, install it in the samedirectory where most of your programfiles are 'path' located. Goodcandidates are C:\DOS or C:\Windows[either way, this is to ensurethat Pkumip will be in the andreadily accessible.] PKLTNZIPis a DOS-levelproduct and does not havethe prettyand userfriendly interface of Windows. The "help file" for PKUNZIP canbe invokedby typingPKUNZIP /?. To decompressa file let us assumethat the file is storedin a directorycalled C:\TEMP andthe file is calledCOUSINS.ZIP. The commands at theC:\ promptthen will be asfollows: PKUNZIP C:\TEMP\COUSINS.ZIP. Now pressEnter and in a few secondsyou will haveCOUSINS.GED or whateverwas lurkrng behind COUSINS.ZP decompressedin the C:\TEMPdirectory. T\e ZP file alsowill still be thereand once you aresatisfied that the GED works pro,perly,the Ztr file canbe deleted. To createaZlP file takesa programcalled PKZIP.EXE. Whatwas commented above also applied to PKZP. The commandline to compressCOUSINS. GED would be: PKZIP C :\TEMP\C OUSINS.ZP COUSINS. GED. Both PKUNZtr andPKZIP cando manymore things as the "help file" will show. Hereis anexample of oneof theseoptions: Assume we wantto zip the Old PendletonDatabase onto diskettes for mailing. Rememberthat evenas a compressedfile the GED is much largerthan a diskettewill hold. PKZIF allowsfor "disk spanning"which meansthe file will occupyas many diskAtes as it will take without "Disk Full" error. The commandline in this caseis: PY\ZP -& A:\OPD.ZIPOPD.GED. The "minus amp€trsond"is whet is knovmas a cornmandline switchand there are many both for PKZIPand PKUNZtr. For thosewho would rathernot fool with the DOS promptand command line switches,a Windowsprogam [shareu'are]called Wiiltr will hide all the arcanaebehind a familiar Windowsinterface. WiTZIP wiil install into the File Managa or Explorer. Highlight aZIF file anddouble click andWinZIP will kick in with a hostof menuiterns to handledecompressing [extracting]. Compressinga file usingWinZtr is just aboutas easy. BOOK'S ON OLD PENDLETON DISTRTCT,SOUTH CAROLTNA (PRESENTDAY-ANDERSON, PICKENS, OCONEE) AND SOME FAMILY HISTORIES BY MEMBERS G.
