Patrick Boyd / Ann McDowell

Monroe Co; West Virginia

PATRICK BOYD, (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 1783 he was living on the place now occupied by his grandson, EDWARD BOYD, and had a shop where he pursued the trade of blacksmith and bellmaker. He acquired much property 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.
