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 Robert MONTGOMERY family (his wife was Esther SPENCE sisterto ANN) left SC and went to TN as well as Ann SpenceMONTGOMERY and John and JaneMontgomery BOYD. 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. What port, what ship and informationabout the family would be appreciated.He is supposedto havecome about L772from Ahoghol, Ireland but I have no proof. I was in Ahoghol, Antrim Co., Ireland recently and found SPENCE still living in Ahoghol and they are Presbyterian.I was not able to get to church records at the time. Did they have to take an oath of allegiancesomewhere at that time in SC?If so where? JamesW.

He was an open-jearted,generous, high mindedyoung man,and bid fair to becomean omamentto his profession, and a most usefulcitizen.
