I have only about 20 pages from the Boyd book. I know there are copies out there.Have you tried interlibrary loan?
You do not make clear from which Christopher Irvine you descend.As far as I know, there were none descended from a John in the Boyd book.
The Christopher Irvines that I can recall from the book, I have info on each one, are:
1.Christopher Irvine s/o William/Anne Craig.Born Ireland came to America with father and brother David (mother dead).
2.Christopher Irvine of Bedford Co., VA.Died 1769.Sons David and William.
3. Christopher Irvine b Bedford Co., s/o the above David. Died 1786, killed by Indians in Ohio while living in KY.
4. Christopher Irvine b Bedford Co., a 1757. Father unknown, but probably the above William who died 1767.Christopher was orphaned and in 1769 the court appointed John Irvine of Hat Creek to care for him.Christopher was raised by John.The difference between William's 1767 death and Christopher's 1769 court appearance may be because his grandfather cared for him until he died in 1769.He moved to GA with family in 1994.
The Boyd book should not be taken for fact unless supported by reliable source.It appears she took various Irvine desendents family traditions and included them without any judgement or listing the source.
Anyone desiring more info may e-mail me by using the address reached by clicking on my name.
