FOOTNOTES:
[Q] My greatgrandfather, Robert Johnston Chester, brought Benjamin Boyd from Limerick, Ireland, to America. My grandfather, John Chester, brought him from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Jonesboro, in December, 1796. Boyd was then an old man. I am the possessor of one of Boyd’s books, an “Arithmetick,” “printed in Belfast, Ireland, by James Magee, at the Bible and Crown, Bridge street,” in 1775.
