  "I went to Ash Grove, Missouri, about a month ago.  A cousin I met through Ancestry lives near there and she grew up there.  It is close to Springfield.  I went and saw Lucinda's Grave and some other Boyds in the family buried in the area.  My dad had told me years ago that we had family in the area."
