Thank you Nancy. There is a link between the Irvine family with the Boyds of Compass, PA who later went to Halifax County Virginia and both had ferries on the Dan River near South Boston, VA. (Their ferry's help General Greene Army to escape Cornwallis over the Dan River during the War of Independence.) Hay is another name that is closely linked to the Boyd, but I am not familiar with any Boyd/Hay migration to PA. Is "Glenaron, county Antrim" a townland or is it the spelling Corruption for "Glenarm"? Are any of our Antrim list member researching John Foster and William Irvine family Nancy do these records say where the 6th Pennsylvania Battalion was recruited. Hear I am thinking if the County area is known in the USA, it will help those County Antrim researchers to find their relatives in America. Hopefully the reverse will apply in that if many of the members of the 6th were Irish, they either can from County Antrim or even specific towns within Antrim, so that those researching their family in the USA know likely areas within Ireland that they need to start researching their family. More work to be done Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Neuman Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 3:52 AM To: [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] William Boyd born in Ballumenaugh, County Antrim Ireland Mike: I went to the library and looked up this information.

Mike, This is a hot button topic. I live on a reservation in Mississippi, my husband is Choctaw, and there is a joke amongst the Native Americans about people that claim to be Cherokee, people making this claim usually say that their great grandmother was a Cherokee princess. Impossible as there was no royalty in the tribes. In order to be "valid", one must have an ancestor on the Federal Rolls, like the Dawes Rolls, and paperwork in order to trace back to this ancestor. Just because someone doesn't have paperwork doesn't necessarily mean they don't have Cherokee heritage, but it does mean they won't be able to enroll in the tribe. These are the three federally recognized Cherokee Nations: The Cherokee Nation, in Tahlequah, OK, is the largest of the three, The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians is also in Tahlequah and the third one is the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, in Cherokee, North Carolina. I have a list of Boyds attempting to enroll but don't have it handy. I believe they were all rejected. Not a waste, however, as valuable genealogical information was collected at the time of application, such as, siblings, parents, etc. Dy On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 4:47 PM, Mike Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.

During my visit to Philadelphia, I found the book American Ancestry: giving the names and descent in the male line of Americans whose Ancestors settled in the United States previous to the Declaration of Independence, A. D. 1776. Of these three Volumes, only Volume VI, had entry for the James Boyd of Maine who came in 1756 and John Boyd of Kinderbook, NY, who married Christina Van Deusen. I can’t find my notes to see if they had the first 3 Volumes or what Volumes came after this. But from my memory there would be 100’s of Boyd families who were in America before 1776. So a lot more Boyd families should be included in these Volumes? Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

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

Thank you to all that have replied. I have made a note that it might be a mis-spelling for Ballymena but added Margaret's variation of Ballymenagh. All these areas had plenty of Boyd families over a very long time. So that will point in both ways for future reserchers. When I get a chance, I will have to search the Boyd families I have for Ballymena and see if they have any William Boyds that have disappeared in hte mid 1700's.

Mike, If I visited you in Oz and someone asked me where I was from, do you think I would tell them I was from the townland of Drumbuoy? Course not, who on earth would know where Drumboy was. I'd say I was from Lifford, the nearest large town. In fact, I might even say I was from Derry as I bet not many Aussies have even heard of Lifford. Ditto these Boyds and Ballymena. They probably meant the big town of Ballymena... but probably were NOT actually from the big town of Ballymena! Happens all the time when I am researching.

Mike, just put Ballymena into Google maps and it is the biggest town between Belfast and Coleraine. You couldn't miss it. It IS the largest town in County Antrim.

During my 2013 trip to the USA in either Philadelphia or Washington D. C., I copied the title page of Volume IV of this book and wrote a note “Has anyone researched the 11 volumes (?) for Boyd families”. I did not copy the Index for Boyds, so I can’t even say if this volume had any Boyds listed. And I assume with the “(?)” after volumes I might not have been sure if there was a total of 11 volumes. Also by the use of “New Series” would suggest to me that there had been a previous series of publications. So do any members know anything about either series and do they have any Boyd families in them? If so, I will need to add each volume – that has a Boyd family – to my list of Boyd books for future reference of members. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society
