I borrowed this book in the 1980s from the SUTRO library in CA and
expect that others could get it on interlibrary loan through your local
library. The complete citation is: Genealogy of the Cloyd, Basye and
Tapp families in America with brief sketches referring to the families
of Ingels, Jones, Marshall and Smith, by A. D. Cloyd, M. D. of Omaha
Nebraska, c1912. I do not know if the book is available through LDS
family history centers. Does anyone else?
I copied the index and parts of several sections for my own use and will
share what I have if it will help anyone. I have copies of at least
parts of Section One: Descendants of James Cloyd including the
supplement on the Cloyd-Templeton Branch; Section Two: Descendants of
David Cloyd, Immigrant No. 3; Section Three: Descendants of John Cloyd,
Immigrant No. 8; Section Four: First generation descendants of William
Cloyd, Immigrant No. 9; and Section Five: Some of the Descendants of
Daniel Clyde who changed the name to Cloyd.
This is kind of long...but you might find it worth thinking about.

According to my local library there were only about 200 copies published in
1910. My library was able to obtain a microfiche of the book on loan from a
Pennsylvania library. I am copying pages as I have time, usually a couple
of hours a week.

See if you can obtain a copy of "The Cloyd, Basye and Tapp Family's in America" By
A.D. Cloyd in 1912. It had my ancestors from my paternal grandfather on back.
Hope this helps.
