I am looking to see if the above couple had any children and other descendants N4 Christan Boyd, b / /160x ( , Ireland or Scotland), d / /16xx ( ), bu , m / /163x (church, town, county, etc), David Barclay, son of and (nee ) Barclay, b / /160x ( ), d / /16xx ( ) [Lived: of Kilmarnock ] - David was a merchant of Kilmarnock. This Christian Boyd was the youngest known daughter of M10 Colonel[1] David Boyd, of Tourgill, a natural son, b / /156x ( ), d / /16xx, living 1613 and died before 1623 ( ), bu , Ireland?, m / /159x, Margaret Wallace, Lady Hayning, a widow, dau of Wallace, b / /15xx ( ), d / /16xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - He had letters of legitimation under the Great Seal 11 July 1582, and a grant of the lands of Tourgill 8 August 1598. (This was 8 years after his father's death. So who was the grant given by?) David Boyd of Tourgill, Provost, appears as a witness at Edinburgh 6 November 1613. (Why was he made legitimate in 1582? Was this the date that he turned 21 years? - Mike Boyd's questions) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1]Can his Army record be traced through the British Army Lists of the time? This Colonel David Boyd was the natural son of the fifth Lord Boyd – Robert Boyd – who was quite active in Scottish Politics during and after the reign of Queen Mary of Scots. I am trying to find out which Branch of the Barclay’s this David belong to (and hopefully on my next visit to Kilmarnock next year, I can search in Robertson and Paterson for this family or add to what some list members have been able to tell me).
