He said Mrs Ruth Ann Corson goes by name of Mrs Annie Corson & lives now at NO 5305 Christian St West Phila Pa where she has bought property. I must go there & see her. Leaving 6:50 PM Aug 21/26 Mrs McGlathery died about Mch 22, 1926 see book 16 P 526 et seq. I then came out to the Hamilton got my dinner & Mrs Howard Boyd wd not wait to see me saying she was dressed to go out. I then walked down St & was soon at:
Mr Boyd a fine will built husky young man came to the door & said he was expecting company, some being already there but he took me inside & we talked for 20 minutes or so & he was very kind & excused himself by saying he saying he was working night & day making speeches & interviewing people in their work to elect the Republican ticket next Tuesday. I would guess him to weigh 200 lbs or over. He said that he was the only child of his parents & that neither he nor his father, Howard, nor his grandfather James S. Boyd, a Penna RR lawyer who built many of the small RRs out of Phila to Newton etc, cared 5 cts for the family genealogy & had no records & if anything, contributing thereto came in, they threw it away. He sd he was with his grandfather once to a lawyer's Banquet in Phila Pa & met a lawyer there who was a noted genealogist who talked to his grandfather about their genealogy & who prepared a record for his grandfather, but he cared nothing for it & didn't preserve it, their idea being that it was not your forebears but what you could do yourselves that counted. Telling him that his great grandfather, Dr Jeremiah Boyd & his V10 Page 499 parents William & Ann Jack Boyd were from Fayette Co Pa, he said that he so understood but didn't know that any of the Boyds were of sufficient consequence to be written up, but said there was an elaborate sketch of his grandfather in the History of Montgomery Co Pa prepared by a NY firm which could be seen in the public library here in said History which his grandfather presented to the library, he said his great Aunt Mary Pugh who died several yrs ago was one of the thirteen children of Dr Jeremiah Boyd & having leisure had prepared a history of the Boyds which is now in the possession of her son Ed Pugh of Newtown, Bucks Co Pa an intelligent able well known man there who was once, if not now, Secy of the Auto Assn there & who was a poor man & he thought would sell the Hist for a small sum as he didn't care for it & had once asked him if he didn't want to buy it. He said he wouldn't give 5 cts for it & thought Ed wd entertain an offer of $50 for it. He said there was a tradition in the family that they were descended from Mary, Queen of Scots. He said his Boyds were buried in Montgomery Cem to the left of the west end of W Main St. He sd his mother was a Slingluff [best guess] & might be able to give some records. Left 8:11 PM & walked up to 634 Nobel St & got fr Mark H. Finley the records on pages 485 to 487 incl. Then walked back to W. Main & took St car to: V10 Page 500 Residence of Phoebe Rhoades Bucke No 16 E.

See her & get her record See Book 16 P 583 5 Mrs Bucke's oldest Uncle David McKenzie Finley see page 485 had a son Elmer Finley who lives on Chain St just off W. Main St south, who would have, she thought his father's bible record. Abraham Finley lives just near Elmer on chain St. He is son of Thomas McKenzie Finley. Mrs Bucke's great Uncle, brother of her grandfather John Finley. He can tell more than Elmer. I will go now to see them & to the three cemeteries. I had a very nice visit at Mrs Bucke's & she cordially asked me to come back. Told them some of my trip in India. Mark H. Finley asked if I was the coal man. Leaving 10:55 PM It is now just 12 o'c noon 4th
I left the hotel at 12:15 PM & seeing no street car in sight, walked down here six blocks & passing this number, came back & rung the bell & a fine lithe active matronly woman opened the door & upon asking her in which house Abraham Finley lived said in this one & she was his wife, but he was at the Prison by the C.H. as Sunday warden, but upon asking her if he was not son of Thomas McKenzie Finley, she sd he was & they had his old bible which his sister gave him to keep but said she wanted it back. She went upstairs & brought it down, a medium large leather backed book well preserved except that it is split clear in two just between the old & new testament & the 4 pages of records are on two combined leaves which are entirely detached from the bible which was published by Kimber & Sharpless Phila Pa but without date. Instead, however of being his father's bible, it is a much greater find being the bible of his grandfather David McKenzie Finley, who in starting it says he is the son of David Finley & Sarah his wife. I copy from the said bible record:
David Finley, son of David Finley and Sarah his wife, was born Feby 10, 1781 & was married January 9th, 1809 to Ruth Mills, daughter of Maskell Mills & Phebe his wife who was born Aug 26, 1789.
