Charles E. And Rose Boyd
     The Boyd family was from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the Dillon family from Franklin County, Virginia. Charles Edward "Ed" Boyd's father and mother, Joseph (1830-1907) and Nancy Vaughan Boyd (1839-1903) of Rock Camp were recorded in the Hardesty-Lake Atlas.
     Joseph's mother was Nancy Spence (1794-1830) of Mt. Nebo, Pa. The Boyd family had many acres near Rawlinsville, Pa. The old rubble-stone house still stands with the ice house next to Boyd's Run. This family came to America about 1718-1729 from Ulster. Thomas Boyd (1692-1768), immigrant, left 225 acres to his son, John (1736-1807), a Revolutionary Captain in Lancaster Militia and Justice Court of Common Pleas. John and Mary Bigham (died 1824) had well over 600 acres. Their son, David (1770-1837) and Phebe Clark Boyd (1778-1848), his wife, were the parents of John II (1799-1881). John II and Nancy Spence Boyd came to Hancock County, Ohio about 1826. Nancy died soon after Joseph was born. His brother, William, and sister, Phebe Boyd Stewart were mentioned in their grandfather's will of 1835. John and Anna Spence were Nancy's parents. More detail is given in the book, From Lancaster to Lafayette, Thomas Boyd 1692-1768, compiled by Phyllis Boyd Laborde, 1976.
     Rose "Ida" Dillon Boyd's family came to this country very early. Her John Clay family came in 1613 on the Treasurer to Jamestown, Virginia. Her Thomas Farley came in 1623 on the ship Ann to Archer's Hope, Virginia. He was a member of House of Burgesses (1629-1632). Ida was the tenth generation of this family in this country. Her great-grandfather, Squire Dillon (1785-1857) and his wife, Celia Ward born 1788 came to Lawrence County about 1830 from Virginia. Ida's parents were William Henry Dillon (1840-1905) and Lucinda Pricey Powell (1841-1914). Henry Dillon had a store at Willow Wood. Creed Dillon (1811-1879) and Abigail Smith born 1816 were Henry's parents. Creed worked on the river and farmed as did most people in those days. Creed was the son of Squire and Celia Ward Dillon. Squire's father was Samuel (1751-1836), his mother was Chloe Farley Dillon (1765-1856).
     Samuel Dillon was a veteran of the Revolution, as was Thomas Farley, Sr. (1730-1796), and patriot, Daniel Ward (died 1826), Celia's ------ are documented with the Daughters of the American Revolution. Joseph Boyd and Henry Dillon were Union soldiers in the Civil War. More on these families in Samuel and Chloe Farley Dillon by Phyllis Boyd Laborde, 1979.
     Ed Boyd (1874-1968) and Ida Dillon Boyd (1876-1952) had three children. William "Harry" (1895-1976), Nancy (Pansy) Boyd Bounds (1898-1987), and Flora "Flo" Boyd Sather (1900-1940). Ed learned the sawmill business in the hills of West Virginia. He and Ida moved to Washington state about 1902. At the John's Mill near Tacoma, WA., Harry learned to be a sawyer while his father was a millwright. Harry was a veteran of World War I.
     Harry and Vera Dahl Boyd had Phyllis Boyd Laborde. "Pansy" and Charles E. Bounds had Verdun Bounds and Fay Bounds Neat. "Flo" and "Herb" Sather had "Roy" Sather, Shirley Sather Benstine, and Dorothy Sather Grunstad.
