Jennifer Many Scottish Historians and Genealogist have the Stewart and Boyd relationship WRONG. Walter Stewart and Simon Boyd were Step Brothers not brothers. They had a common mother but separate fathers. The Boyd DNA, I am told does not match the Stewart DNA.

(Surname) = BOYD, (Clan or District) = Ayrshire 13th c, (Source) = STEWART (Stewart Earldoms of Angus, Lennox and Galloway). Septs: There are 20 Septs of this particular STEWART which includes BOYD. This is different to Stewart of Appin and Stewart of Atholl whose Septs do not include Boyd. Don't know if this helps you... if you don't have a Kith & Kin, most libraries have it. Merry Christmas, Jenny
