To date no one has been able to locate the bible. The name of Robert Boyd's wife is not known. His appearance in the Bogfle records makes one wonder if his wife was related to that family. I have also read that his wife was Margaret Gamble, but I have seen no proof of that and I have not found any Gamble families near where the Boyds lived. (Source: Linda Boyd Lawhon) |
