1847, the daughter of Jesse Condé and Elcy (Noble) Boyd (see Boyd), born August 9, 1827, in the fourteenth township of Warren county, New York, near Johnsburgh, where her father was engaged in the manufacture of lumber, having a saw-mill at that place. When she was four years old the family re- moved to Albany, where she grew to woman- hood, for some years attended the Albany Female Academy, and married before she was twenty years old. Hers was a beautiful Chris- tian character, her life spent in quiet, loving devotion and willing service to her family and home, in which she found her greatest happi- ness. She died October 30, 1903, in her seven- ty-seventh year. Nine children were born to Charles P. and Mary Boyd Easton :
I. William, born January 23, 1848. He be- gan his education at the early age of five years, attending a small private school, then a public school, then Professor Charles An- thony's Classical Institute, afterward finish- ing with a course at Bryant & Stratton's Com- mercial College. In 1863, when fifteen years of age, he started as tally boy in his father's lumber yard, and in 1869 became a partner in the business, which was carried on success- fully until 1902. In that year the business was closed out : this was thought advisable be- cause the wholesale lumber trade had become in a measure diverted from Albany. In 1902 William Easton, with his brothers, Frederick and Irving B., bought a large tract of timber in Canada, and as soon as the mill was built began the manufacture of lumber. The firm was changed in 1904 to a corporation of the same name, and in 1906 the brothers retired from the business. Mr. Easton was promi- nent in Masonry, being a Knight Templar and thirty-second degree Mason. He has sev- ·eral times held office on the Board of Lumber Dealers and Young Men's Association ; was trustec, 1890-93, of the Fort Orange Club ; was one of the founders and a trustee of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Associa- tion, and a trustee of the First Reformed Church. In 1896 he was presidential elector. William Easton married, February 21, 1882, Caroline Allen Newton. Her father was John Milton Newton, who through his mother, Martha Whiting, was a descendant of Gov- ernor William Bradford. Her mother, Jane Pierson Allen, was a descendant of several of the founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Their children: Helen Newton, born March IO, 1883; Mary Boyd, born November 6, 1886.

Mr. Pray came to Albany in 1877 as salesman for the firm of A. B. Van Gaasbeek & Co., carpet dealers, where he re- mained until his death in 1898. In 1874 Mr. Pray enlisted as a private in the Massachti- setts volunteer militia : in 1875 he received his first commission as second lieutenant ; in Sep- tember, 1876, he was commissioned first lien- tenant, and in November, 1876, was honorably discharged. Very soon after locating in Al- bany he enlisted as a private in Company A, Tenthi Battalion, N. G., State of New York. and was successively elected sergeant, second and first lieutenant. Resigning from the Guard, December, 1892, he became an active member of the Old Guard, Albany Zouave Cadets. Mr. Pray ranked high as a soklier and a gentleman.

P. Easton & Company. In 1902 he retired from that firm and established a business under his own name, dealing ex- clusively in cypress lumber. In 1906 the Eas- ton Cypress Company was established. of which Mr. Easton is president and treasurer. In 1884 he removed to Loudonville, a suburb of Albany, where he now resides, and where he has proved himself most efficient as school commissioner and in Sunday school work.

(The Boyd Line).
Alan, First Lord High Steward of Scot- land, married Margaret, daughter of Fergus, Earl of Galloway, and had five children, the third being Simon, progenitor of the Boyds. Alan died in 1153, and Simon, his third son, became the second Lord High Steward of Scotland. Robert, son of Simon, being of fair complexion, was called "Boidle" or "Boid- el" in Gaelic, meaning Boyt or Bo-"fair or beautiful." This became a surname, and Robert Boyd, "the Fair," is the common an- cestor of all of the name Boyd. He died prior to 1240 A. D., and left a son, Sir Robert Boyd. Dean Castle, long the residence of the ancient family of Boyd, stands about a mile from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, on the west coast
of Scotland. The descent to the American Boyds during the centuries has been in many instances through younger sons of whom no. record has been kept in the register's office of Scotland. They are first on record in America at Londonderry, where Boyds settled in 1718. They were Scotch-Irish who had gone into northern Ireland from Scotland about 1688, there married, and bred the hardy pioneer Scotch-Irish who perpetuated their home names in the new towns they created. The name is next found in New York City and Pennsylvania, where they settled prior to the revolution. There was also an early set- tlement in Virginia. The Boyds, like all the Scotch-Irish, were hardy, energetic, desirable citizens, and in settling in a new country usu- ally chose the rugged country instead of the more fertile river bottoms, as did the Dutch. This was due to their early environment, as each chose location in accordance with youth- ful surroundings.
(I) John Boyd was born in the year 1725, of Scotch parentage, and as conclusive evi- dence shows, was of the Kilmarnock family, some of whom settled in the north of Ireland, county Antrim, where he was either born or taken by his parents at an early age. He mar- ried, in 1757, in Ireland, Ann Logan, born 1739, and with his wife and three children ar- rived at New York in 1762. With John Boyd was his brother-in-law, John Rogers, who married Agnes Logan just before the party started for America. John Boyd resided at Albany until 1793, when, as appears on the sessions- record of the First Presbyterian church, of which he was an elder, he removed to the country with his family, meaning Johns- town. New York. John Rogers, who was a wheelwright, accompanied him and there they erected saw mills, and there John Boyd died, July 6, 1799. His wife, Ann (Logan) Boyd, survived him, dying in Albany, New York, February 9, 1815. aged seventy-six years. They are both buried in Johnstown, New York. Children :
