Hi Mike, This is what I know about the photo: "This photo is probably from the area of Southwestern Oklahoma, Hollis, or Altus. Maybe of people who settled there from somewhere else. Maybe from Boyd, Ragsdale, Smith, Lowery surnames and probably late 1800's early 1900's" Thank you!!

This is to let our USA cousins that it is most likely at a Boyd will be playing for Australia against the US Tomahawks within the next 24 hours – it may be Saturday night.

Thank you Daryl. All we now need to find out is where did those Rhode Islander's migrated to when they decided to "go West" when there was no more land in Rhode Island. So do any members have family that came form RI at some time in US HIstory?

The Great State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation is amazingly undeveloped. There's tons of open land in this smallest state, with the longest name, in the United States. There were other reasons they moved west. I did not come from there, but I lived there for a couple of years. Aye, Lauren

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: edwirvin Surnames: Henderson, Irwin/Erwin, Boyd, Todd Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.boyd/7203/mb.ashx Message Board Post: There is a lawsuit shown on the Library of Virginia Chancery Records Index for Charlotte county in 1784. It is case number 1784-008. This case is captioned Mary Todd and James Henderson et al vs. Esther Henderson (widow of Joseph Henderson). Contained in this case folder is the original will of deceased Joseph Henderson recorded in 1763 in then Lunenburg county, Va. A few years later, this part of Lunenburg was cut off into Charlotte county. The plaintiffs in this suit are the surviving children of Joseph Henderson against their mother Esther Henderson who has moved from Charlotte county to South Carolina. At issue is deceased Joseph's parcel of land containing 221 acres located on Turnip Creek. I am looking for this deed. It would probably be dated in the late 1750's or early 1760's in Lunenburg county (later Charlotte). In the 1763 will, James Boyd and Abraham Erwin are listed as "advisors" to the affairs of Esther Henderson to assist in raising all of the then ! minor children of Joseph and Esther. The will is witnessed by Robert Erwin and a Mary Boyd. I suspect Esther may have been a Boyd but that is unproven. I also believe the Hendersons were neighbors much earlier in Cumberland county, Pa. near Shippensburg. The Hendersons settled on Turnip Creek and the Erwins and James Boyd settled near Hat Creek, just across the later Campbell county line. The Erwins and the Hendersons lived about 6 or 8 miles apart. Does anyone know anything about these folks? Old family "vanity histories" claim the Hat Creek Irvins arrived in 1738 or 1742, depending on which story you believe. Campbell county has celebrated this very early arrival and erected monuments to the 1738 date based on the old stories. I personally believe it is all mythology. The Irwins probably arrived about 1760, maybe in the company of the Hendersons and perhaps a couple of the Boyds. But that is another story. Can anyone help me find the Joseph Henderson deed on Tu! rnip Creek? Edwin D. Irvin You can see the Chancery case here: http://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/ Just select "charlotte county" and type in the index # 1784-008 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am currently working on the families of Andrew Boyd of East Greenwich, RI and his possible relative Solomon Boyd, also of East Greenwich. In the Town Clerk, Mr H Cookes, records, I assume of EAST GREENWICH, RI, it said that:- Andrew Boyd was born in 11 June 1731 in Cloyfin, Ireland and gave his parents as John Boyd who married Sarah Moor (e), the daughter of Andrew Moore of Hagles (now Heagles), Ballymoney Parish, County Antim, Ireland. He goes onto say that John’s father was a William Boyd. All these families came from the Coleraine, Ballymoney, Dunluce area of the northern part of of the eastern side of the Bann Valley in Ireland. I am not sure what migration routes Boyd families might have taken from RI to the West. I also know that there are six Rhode Island State Census of 1747, 1770, 1774, 1777, 1779, 1782, so has anyone on this list looked at these records to see if there are any Boyd families? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS.

Harriet I have about 30 plus origins for Clan Boyd in Scotland. 1) King George III in 1746, when he executed the 4th Earl, said that the Boyd name was first used in 1111 A. D. This paper does not cite any sources for this claim. (I think that this is the date of birth of Simon) 2) The Boyd DNA Group say that the Boyds go back to Brittany, France and that the Boyd and Stewart DNA's do not match or link together. 3) According to J. Horace Round, taken from "Studies in Peerage and Family History, Westminster, Archibald Constable and Co., Ltd., 1901, pages 115-146, he said that:- 5. ALAN Fitz Flaald, son of #3, Founder of Sporle Priory FOURTH GENERATION 6. JORDAN Fitz Alan, son of #5, occurs 1129-30, Benefactor of Sele Priory. Occurs also in Britanny as "Dapifer" (Dolensis). 7. WILLIAM Fitz Alan, son of #5, Founder of Haughmond Priory ob. [died] 1160, (? Benefactor of Monmouth Priory) 8. WALTER Fitz Alan, son of #5, "Dapifer Regis Scotiae" ob. 1177, Founder of Paisley Abbey While in his article from:- THE GENEALOGIST New Series 18.1902 Pages 1-16 The Origin of the Stewarts and Their Chesney Connexion. Dr. John Horace Round Alan Fitz Flaald m. Avellino de Hedin and they had: 1. Jordan 2. William 3. Walter Robert Fitz Walter m.2 Avellino de Hedin, widow of Alan Fitz Flaald, and they had: 1. Simon de Casinett alias de Norfolk 2. Margaret m. Ham de St. Clair Avellino de Hedin, widow of Alan Fitz Flaald" parents were. Round himself states that she was the daughter of Engulf de Hedin, a great Doomsday tenant. So this would make Walter and Simon as bothers through the Mother - Avellino de Hesdin - and not though Alan Fitz Flaald. 4) Barry Boyd of Dallas, TX tells me that Ernulf de Hesdin was treasurer of the Knights Templar and as treasurer had the fess cheque as his Arms. So Alan Fitz Flail's Arms would have gone to his eldest son Jordon. But his does not explain why Walter Fitz Flaald and Simon Fits Walter's families had similar Arms. I can only think that Avellino was a sole heir of her father these two STEP BROTHERS may have taken their grandfather Ernulf de Hedin's Arms. (At this time I have no proof of that.) 5) So as we can see the Boyds were of Norman/Brittany origins, so using the "Gaelic 'bide' meaning 'fair' or 'blonde' has always puzzled me. I assume that the first Sir Robert Boyd had the Celtic "auburn" or red hair. But it does not explain why a Gaelic word was used? 6) "The second theory of being vassals of the Norman family de Moresville". The Scots Peerage in 1907, said that "the Boyds were early proprietors in Renfrew, and possessed the barony of Nods dale and several other lands of good value in the reign of Alexander III. (1249-86) is attested by a charter, seen by Milne, ..." This would be before 1200 AD. I know that the Boyd shad one Barony in Renfrewshire - Gaven and Risk - just SW of Paisley on the Ayrshire border. However, I have not yet found it they had any other Barony's in Renfrewshire from Walter. In the Burns Centre Local Studies Library, there was an incomplete list of vassals of the de Moville family - in which the Boyds were not listed. I do not know what rank the De Moville's were, but with Simon being Step brother to Walter the High Steward of Scotland, I would not expect him not to be a vassal of someone else but his own step-brother. In 1263, at the Battle of Largs, the Boyd got (or took) the Motto "Confido" - I Trust. While I have no proof, I assume that the lands of Nodsdale, about 6 kms NE of Largs, was given to Sir Robert Boyd for his assistance in this Battle and his action at Goldenberry Hill, just above Hunterston. 7) "In Gaelic, 'boid' means 'from Bute'." I have yet to find out if Bute, up to 1263, was under Viking rule or Scottish rule. However, This would also mean that quite a lot more people would be called Boyd if you came from the Island of Bute. 8) "Clan branches" This list starts with that of 'Boyd of Merton' who were only formed in the mid 1600's. It does not include the Boyd of Portencross, of Badenhealth, of Kipps (where part of Badenhealth), Nor does it include the various Boyd Estate given my Robert the Bruce in Galloway or in Roxburgh on the Borders. Nor does it include the Boyds of Ardour, Argyllshire who arrived in either 1380 or 1430 or the Boyds Perthshire who are said to go back to the 1600's. 9) The list of "Associated families" - my five grandchildren under 5 years of age could have done better research. This list includes the various spellings for Boyd; those families/clans that we married into and some other names which I have yet to find any links to Clan Boyd. This list is not a list of Boyd Septs. I have yet to find any Septs of the Boyd, despite being over 900 years old. There are other mistakes in this text which I do not have time to correct as Ihave to go shopping Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS -----Original Message----- From: Harriet E. Cady Sent: Monday, November 11, 2013 11:02 PM To: Clan Boyd Subject: [BOYD] ON Estman's site Boyd Origins of the clan There are two main theories on the origin of the name. The first asserts that name is descriptive, deriving from the Gaelic 'buidhe', meaning 'fair' or 'blonde'. The 'fair' man in question is said to have been Robert, nephew of Walter Fitzalan, 1st High Steward of Scotland. The fess-chequey (see Heraldry) supports this theory, however, it may be argued that it is unlikely that a Norman noble would adopt a Celtic nickname for their family. The second theory asserts that the original Boyds were vassals of the Norman family, de Morville, from their lands in Largs and Irvine. In Gaelic, 'boid' means 'from Bute'. The earliest occurrence of the name is found in an Inquisition formed by King David I of Scotland into the lands of the bishopric of Glasgow. The Boyds were vassals of the de Morville family, who received lands from King David. Wars of Scottish Independence Robert de Boyd is listed in the Ragman Rolls offering homage to King Edward I of England, however, the family has a strong connections to the Wars of Scottish Independence. Duncan Boyd was executed for supporting independence in 1306 and Sir Robert Boyd was a commander for Robert Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. For his service and valour during battle he was awarded lands confiscated from the Baliols, including Kilmarnock. 15th century The family's fortunes rose and they were raised to the peerage by King James II as 'Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock' in 1454. Lord Boyd was a trusted advisor and following the death of James II he was appointed as one of the Regents to the infant King James III; his brother, Alexander, was made military tutor to the king. Boyd effectively kidnapped the young king and obtained an Act of Parliament appointing him sole governor of the crown and Great Chamberlain. The family also successfully negotiated the king's marriage to Margaret of Denmark, daughter of King Christian I of Denmark in 1469, in the process ending the 'Norwegian annual' fee owed to Denmark for the Western Isles, and receiving Orkney and Shetland (theoretically only as a temporary measure to cover Margaret's dowry). Thus Scotland in 1470 reached its greatest ever territorial extent, when James permanently annexed the islands to the crown. The Boyds' influence of the king was considerable but they were rapidly making enemies, including the young king, as they continued to increase their wealth and titles. Lord Boyd's son, Thomas was made Earl of Arran in 1467 and married the king's sister, Mary. James III eventually grew tired of the Boyds and he summoned Lord Boyd, his son Thomas, and his brother Alexander to appear before the court and parliament to answer charges. Lord Boyd, realising that appearing in Edinburgh meant almost certain death, escaped to England. Alexander, who was sick, was brought before the court and found guilty before he, and his family, were executed in 1469. Thomas was abroad when he heard of the plight of his father and uncle. The king summoned his sister back to Scotland, on the pretence that he may pardon her husband. Mary returned but Thomas remained in Europe. Their marriage was declared void in 1473. 16th century The family was restored in 1536 by Mary, Queen of Scots and Robert, a descendant of the younger son of the first Lord Boyd, was confirmed 'Lord Boyd' along with all the estates of the family. Even during her captivity in England, Lord Boyd remained close and visited many times. 17th century & Civil War During the English Civil War the family supported the cause of Charles I of England and received their reward after the Restoration when Lord Boyd was created Earl of Kilmarnock in 1661. 18th century & Jacobite Uprisings During the 1714 Jacobite Rising Lord Boyd supported the British government and commanded a regiment in the service of King George I. His son, Robert Boyd, however, did not share his father's loyalties and fought on the side of Charles Edward Stuart in the 1744 rebellion. He was a member of the Charles's Privy council with the rank of general. He fought, and was captured, at the Battle of Culloden. In August 1745 he was beheaded at Tower Hill and the titles of the Boyd family were forfeit. Boyd's second son, however, retained the lands and succeeded as Earl of Erroll in 1758 through his mother and assumed the name of Hay. 19th century The eighteenth Earl of Erroll was created Baron of Kilmarnock in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1831. In 1941 the twenty-second Earl died in Kenya leaving a daughter who, although entitled to the Scottish earldom of Erroll and the chiefship of the Clan Hay, was unable to succeed the barony of Kilmarnock which, as a United Kingdom title, could only pass to male heirs. Therefore the brother of the twenty-second Earl resumed the name Boyd and succeeded to the barony. Clan castles Dean Castle was seat of the chief of Clan Boyd.

Larry Just west of West Kilbride is a small piece of land that juts out in the Clyde River. At the northern end of this was the Hunter's land and the next area was the land of the Fairlie's of that Ilk. So the name might have been "cut" down or just misspelt from that.
