S1 It was probably his son Charles Boyd, who aged 17 entered Trinity College Dublin, 3 July 1967 (this likely a misprint and should be 1767), described as "son of Patrick Boyd, armiger". As this family has a son James Boyd born in 1725, the James Boyd of Sligo could not be part of this family of Crosspatrick - UNLESS AN ELDER BROTHER TO JOHN BOYD [Q1] had settled on an estate there. C) There are male Boyd descendants in Australia of this family from Crosspatrick, who are the Australian Artist family of Arthur Boyd and his brothers. Some other members of this family have been on this list previously, but I do not know if any of the male Boyds have have undertaken the DNA best to compare the two families. D) Certainly members of the Crosspatrick Boyds went to Trinity Collage. I did copy the Boyd who went to Trinity collage on one of my visits, but during the trip I lost the pages. Perhaps they have a website of those people who have graduated which might tell you if any of the Sligo or Mayo Boyd went to Trinity. The Boyd Family of Crosspatrick, said that htey come form a John Boyd, who in 1672 was Dean of the Guild in Edinburgh. This Boyd is said to have had no male children. But his home was at Kipps, just south of Linlthgow, which is not to far from Airth, which is 20 miles further west.

Barry I am not sure if Brendan has yet joined the Boyd net list, so I will add him to this reply. A) In the 1715, the third Earl and his son, then about 10 years old, raised 500 mean from Kilmarnock and fought on the Kings side. However, as Boyds were quite common in eight other regions of Scotland, there could have been Boyds who fought on the other side. My GUESS if that happened it would be most likely from the Boyds of Ardgour, Argyllshire - but I have no indication of this. But they could have come from any region!! B) With Sligo being next to County Mayo where I know that the Boyd of Crosspatrick, between Ballina and Killala, settled in about 1716 my THOUGHT WHEN BRENDAN wrote to me was that his family might be part of that family. Now that Barry said that the Sligo Boyds go back to a James Boyd born about 1716 I am not so sure. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Boyd Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 1:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] Fw: Boyds of County Sligo Hello Brendan, We are most assuredly cousins!

Fran I will post your query to the Boyd list, so that others can see your query. I do know that two families of Boyd were in Trigg and Christian Counties, KY. One of the families is of George and Isabella Boyd who had four sons move to Halifax County, VA. While the second family is the family of the late Linda Lawhon of Texas, who family came from PA and then Iredell County, NC I could not find Seymore Boyd in either family, but then I do not have the "full" family for either family. So perhaps members of this list might recognise.

On the US census's, Seymore, Semore, Seamore Seymor, S.W. (a variety of spellings), always stated he was born in VA. His wife was Susan Henninger, (also various spellings), was born in TN abt. 1818, and they were married about 1838 in TN. A cousin told me one time that he lived in Trigg and Christian counties in KY before settling in Bledsoe Co., TN. He also lived in Coffee co. and Rutherford Co., TN before going to Bledsoe Co., TN. I have no idea when, or where, they died for sure. I really don't know what else I can do, or where I can look, to find out about my father's side of my family. Can you help me in any way?

Gareth I will send your Email to the Boyd Net list, as I am sure that someone on that list this list has a Boyd family in Camberwell. I have just spent a hour or so trying to find them with out any success. Hopefully, I can short cut the process by posting to the whole list. Mike Boyd Historical committee, HBS From: Gareth Arscott Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2014 5:46 AM To: Mike Boyd Subject: My connection to the Boyd of Kilmarnock Hi Mike Sort of doing this in reverse, so please bear with me. I actually have two connections to this Boyd line. 1 Amelia Maria Boyd married Jules Charles Francois Ramel 04-10-1871 in Camberwell, London. Her father was Edwin Boyd baptised 25-09-1826, mother Amelia Lewis born 1825. They were married 11-07-1846 in St.Pancras, Middlesex. Edwin's father was Charles Boyd and mother Maria (Family name unknown). 2 Julia Ann Boyd married Francois Ramel 12-08-1834 in St.Marylebone, Middlesex. Her father was Charles Boyd and mother Maria (Family name unknown). Julia is Amelia's aunt. The Ramel's were connected to the Bruce's, my mother's mother's family. On Amelia's marriage record it states that her father employment was HM Customs. And I believe is the Charles Boyd of "H M Custom's House" fame. He is shown in the 1871 census living with his son, and being born in Nova Scotia. This matched the information in the will of Major Charles Boyd who died in Jamaica. As discussed with you before. Major Charles's will outlines that his son was born in Nova Scotia and this is supported by the census reurn (I believe 1871, I am trying to lay my lands on this, it is somewhere!). His mother is not known. I doubt if she is the "French Lady" Jeanne Antoinette Wyandt. We can place Major Charles Boyd and Jeanne Antoinette Wyandt (Boyd) in Aberdeen in 1773 according to Boswell and Johnson. He appears to have left Scotland for Nova Scotia. I have a link to a document https://archive.org/stream/cihm_48351/cihm_48351_djvu.txt "Historical record of The Twentieth, or, The East Devonshire Regiment of Foot" It describes the "20th Regiment" that leaves Nova Scotia in 1792. It mentions later the deaths of a number of officers in Jamaica, one being Major Charles Boyd. Notes from yourself posted on Rootsweb support this: "Entered the British Army, 10 November 1773, as ensign 1st Battalion 1st Regiment of Foot, lieutenant same regiment 18 April 1776, captain 82nd Foot 6 January 1778, major 76th Foot 7 March 1784, major half-pay on the disbandment of the regiment 8 March following. After his wife's death he returned to active service, being appointed major 20th Foot 9 December 1789." Charles "of HM Customs House" appears to have married Isabella Hyde 1807 (and divorced by 1815). One witness is Anne Boyd, I believe this to be Anne Lockhart, his step-grandmother as described in Major Charles will. She dies in 1826. This is a brief summary of my connection to the above. Yours Gareth

Do any members know where in France the Earl’s son lived? Or did he move about? Thank you. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Darlene I was just letting members know that there was such a book. As from my initial message, I assume that there could be other publications that might outline Boyds who were members of the Cherokee nation. The data is not very "good" in that it give a mothers name plus "x" number of children. It also appear that you have to be on a "roll" from the 1830's. Plus some families in 1905 may not have wished to have told people that several generations before they had Indian ancestor. Yes I will post the information, but not yesterday. In future, the Society will need to "maintain a list" of those who claim descent from the Cherokee Nation and perhaps those that have proved their claim. We may need to do the same with other Indian "nations" as well. We know that a number of Boyd families came to the Cherokee Nations area of the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia in the early 1700's, so we may find some Indians with Boyd DNA but no known link to any published Boyd family.

Andrew I have a family of James Boyd and Elizabeth Cuthbertson, who were married in 1714 and are said to be of Rowallan Mill. I have just checked but they do not have a son John Boyd. I am sure that I have another Boyd family that said they were Millers at Rowallan Mill for 5 generations (of course, I now can't find that family for you.) Parts of the old mill is still there, as it is only a mile from the farm B&B that I stay bat when I go to Kilmarnock, but I assume that a new house has been built on this site Mrs Mary Stevenson (191 Redwood Street, Blenheim, Marlborough New Zealand) said that Jean Boyd's (U2/V3) family were millers at Rowallan Mill, Fenwick for 5 generations before coming to New Zealand (It is not clear if the count begins with Jean or her father John [T3/U2] ). If the latter, assume all five generations from Robert Boyd (Q1) are buried at Fenwick. [Need to check with Beverley O'Neill if she has additional records.] - whom I corresponded with in 1993. I understand that he sons run a cafe and perhaps a winery some miles south of Blenheim.) While searching for the parent in this Family Chapters I found this family William Boyd married Margaret Steell on 2 Feb. 1726 at Fenwick, Batch # 7101816, serial # 63 However, these parent would be too young to have an son that was married about 1743. I was able to find the following children:- John Boyd, Bapt. 1727; James Boyd, Bapt 1732; Agnes Boyd, Bapt 1735. - From 1994 IGI for the UK:- John BOYD (M)............

(get Email from the East Ayrshire Council website) They may have some records on this case or the Boyds of Rowallan Mill? MY GUESS IS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT TWO SEPARATE BOYD FAMILIES - ONE IN IRVINE AND A SECOND AT ROWALLAN MILL, FENWICK. Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Boyd Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BOYD] John Boyd, Sr., Milner at Rowallan Miln, 1785 Greetings Cousins, In my research into my ancestor John Boyd (b. 1739 Kilmarnock, emigrated to America 1770, d. 1798 Philadelphia, who is the same John Boyd of Kinderhook who married Christyntje Van Deusen in Claverack, New York in 1780), I came across a reference to a lawsuit between my John Boyd and John and Hugh Parker in Kilmarnock. (Dobson, David, Scottish-American Court Records, 1733-1783: "BOYD, JOHN. John Boyd, writer in Irvine then a merchant in New York, V. John & Hugh Parker, merchants in Kilmarnock, 6 Aug. 1778. (CS16.1.174)"). I have discovered that I can only obtain these actual records in person at the National Records of Scotland Archives in Edinburgh. In searching the National Records of Scotland Archives on-line, I found and was able to obtain a copy of records of another lawsuit, this time in 1785, again between a John Boyd and John and Hugh Parker, merchants in Kilmarnock. The documents are in the National Records of Scotland, Court of Session: Bill Chamber Processes, Old Series 1670-1852. The Reference is CS271/53181, Title is John Boyd (Boid) v John & Hugh Parker, 1785. These document a lawsuit against John Boyd, Jr., Rowallan Miln by John and Hugh Parker in Kilmarnock for a debt of 20 pounds sterling (approximately $3000 USD in today's dollars). Included is a guarantee to the Court of Session of payment of the debt by John Boyd Sr., Milner in Rowallan Miln, or his estate or heirs. Two signatures are affixed: first, John Boyd, in a somewhat shakey hand, and another John Boyd below, in a steady hand. I am thinking that these two John Boyds in Rowallan Miln are not likely to be the same individuals as my ancestor John Boyd (1739 -1798) and his father, who has been identified as John Boyd, Maltster in Irvine in 1761. However, some doubt remains, and without further information on the John Boyds of Rowallan Miln in 1785, I can't exclude that they aren't the same people as my john Boyds. Any information is greatly appreciated. -Andrew Boyd Seattle, WA ==================== House of Boyd will be present in the Clan Village at the 700th Anniversary Celebration of the Battle of Bannockburn, June 2014.

Arley Thank you for putting in your Email address, so I can reply to you as I am not on Ancestry - being one of the older Scottish people.. You will need to see if Helen was living in New Mexico and where, so you can contact the local Library or Family History Society. She could have also put her work in the New Mexico State Library. The second place to look would be the Summers County, WV County Library, as that was her home, you might expect a copy of her "publication" to be sent there. Do you know anything else about James Clifton Boyd's parents or family - location, dates etc. Also seeing Helen's mother was a Hamilton, it would also be worth contacting the Clan Hamilton Society website for North America to see if they can advertise her part in this family.

Harriet Which area were they Indian Agents? I know that a Colonel George Boyd and his sons were Indian Agents in Green Bay, (not sure if WI or MN). I think I was told that they had both an Indian and European families. David Boyd from Maryland told me in 2011, that there were Boyd Indians in North Dakota in one of the Sioux reservations. I would even assume in parts like Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania there were other Boyd's in the 1700's who married into Indian tribes.

Court of Claims Mike, This jogged a memory that my great great grandfather was said to be an Indian Agent, His name Varnum Boyd son of John Boyd and Jane Hefflon. I should check with the library of Congress and see if this is true. Harriet

During my visit to Philadelphia in June 2013 I found this series of Books Cherokee By Blood, Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in the U. S. Court of Claims, 1906-1910, Volume 1, Applications 1 to 1550, Jerry Wright Jordon, There were about 10 or so volumes that I went through looking for Boyd entries and found a number. However, they gave only parents and children but nothing that showed their link back to a Boyd family. As you will notice this material is for the “Eastern Cherokee”, so my mind asks if there is an “WESTERN CHEROKEE” nation.? (Being any uninformed outsider) Over the last 15 years that I have been on the Boyd list, I have seen a number of claims that family say their ancestor was a Cherokee Indian. So are their other reference Books that members need to consult? I can’t recall any individual Boyd family histories that make any claims. So was this covered up a 100 years ago, when people started to write up their families? We know that quite a large number of (European) Boyd families moved into Virginia, North and South Carolina’s, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky from the early 1700’s to the late 1700’s and so have taken an Indian spouse. So can we develop a list of reference books on the Cherokee nation that future Boyd researchers could use when they find out that GGGG grandfather/mother was a Cherokee Indian.
