I have filled the family tree with all of the family-lore (assumed) links, but am now attempting to document and confirm each connection with as many primary sources as possible. I am having trouble finding anything for James Boydstun (b. 1738, either PA or MD m. 1) Mary Pruitt/Prewitt m. 2) Tabitha Smith, d. 1814 KY), and specifically anything solid that ties the Boydstu/on families to the Boylston families. These could well be variations on the same name, but back in Scotland there are both "Boyd" and "Boyle" clans/surnames Boyd being natively Scottish while Boyle being Norman. They did share a region (in Ayr) and may very well have intermarried, but are from two different linages. Obviously this could make a decided difference as to where our/my current decendants stem from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
