Richard,
No, I indeed mean Phelps, Ontario County, New York.These Boyds are my great Uncles and Cousins.The grandfather of these Boyds was James Boyd, b: about 1705, Ireland, and came to New Windsor, New York in the mid 1750s.In WP Boyds book, he is in the chapter of the Boyds of New Windsor, New York.James youngest son, David, b: about 1760, made a journey to Phelps, New York in what I now believe, was 1791.I believe he made the trip with his wife's family, the Humphrey's, in 1791.The Humphreys were some of the first settlers in Phelps at that time.I have further information about these Boyds in these graves if you are interested.
