Hi Mike,   I just did a couple of searches on this family and found 2 more children for Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter in the IGI.   Mary Boyd, b. 28 July 1843, chr. 3 September 1843 in Gordon, Berwickshire, Scotland IGI Batch No: C11742-8  Source Call No: 1067899   Gavin Boyd, b. 12 December 1845, chr. 17 January 1846 in Gordon, Berwickshire, Scotland IGI Batch No: C11742-8  Source Call No: 1067899   I don't know when the family immigrated to Canada, but they can be found in the 1871 census for Hamilton, West Northumberland, Ontario.  I don't have access to the original record, but I can tell that Gavin Boyd Sr, Agnes Boyd (nee Trotter) and Gavin Boyd (b. 1845) were all living in the same household.   Also, John Boyd, (b. 1835) son of  Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter was living in Hamilton, West Northumberland, Ontario for the 1871 census. His family consisted of: Isabella Boyd, age 9, born in Ontario Agnes Boyd, age 7, born in Ontario Gavin Boyd, age 3, born in Ontario Jane Boyd, 10 months, born in Ontario (wife not shown on census transcript)   Yolanda From: Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> To: boyd@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Boyd's family of Westruther, Berwick Scotland connected to Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter Are there any members of this list that are descendants of this Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter? The gap in the births of Thomas Boyd (1837) and Robert Boyd (1850) would strongly SUGGEST that other children were born to this couple.  So have any other researchers found any more children born to this couple? If any member of this list is also a member of the Berwick and or Roxburgh Net lists, they may like to post both mine and Yolanda messages to thsoe list as well.

Michelle, thanks for chiming in with this. I had been thinking along those lines as well, but just haven't spoken up. I need to print off all this info that has been flying in a mile a minute and digest it a bit more. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, in our lifetime!!!, we could find where we came from?!!

I don't know if Robert of S.C. and Virginia was connected to the Newberry, S.C. Boyds or not. More interesting to me, however, is the reference by Col. Bratton in 1783 calling him "Sir Robert Boid." Although they acquired a large amount of land and in two or three generations produced several notable citizens, the first couple of Boyd generations in Newberry would appear to be mostly yeomen, with names like "Waggoner Jack" Boyd (the wheelwright) and "Johnny Buckles" Boyd (the harness maker). On that basis, I would think it less likely that "Sir" Robert Boyd was very closely related. > Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 07:09:43 -0700 > From: mich9118@bellsouth.net > To: boyd@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Boyd of South Carolina > > Please see Rev.

Mike, Just yesterday: Date: Thu, Aug 18, 2011 11:09 am Your assistance is appreciated. I am looking closely at the possibility of Archibald Boyd, intestate 1799, as David's natural father and a possible relation to Robert Boyd, S.C. Council Journal, 22 June 1767, and Abbeville Surrogate Court for Robert Boyd of Long Canes death 21 June 1779. This places this group of Boyds near the Stewarts on Long Canes where I feel David's step-father John Stewart lived. Best regards.

List I forgot to add that the Scottish Border area is one of 8 Regions outside of Ayrshire where Boyd families settled in Scotland in "large numbers". At this time, I AM NOT SURE WHEN THE BOYDS WENT TO THE BORDERS. The other problem is from which direction did they come. It is know that Robert the Bruce gave the Head of the Clan lands in 1306 in Dumfries and other Galloway areas. So did these "over time" move further east into the Borders. Or as is the case of Yolander's husband's family, THEY SEEM TO HAVE MOVED FROM NORTHUMBERLAND, ENGLAND to be back across the Border in Scotland. It is known that the First Lord Robert Boyd fled Scotland in 1469 to go to Alnwick England. I have an scroll from Dean Castle that says that this Lord Boyd' youngest son Adam Boyd, who was cited as having been born in 1460, appears to have gone with him about 1490's after his second marriage moved to the Leeds area. However, we do not know if Lord Boyd took any other family "members" with him or any Boyd servants or relatives. So at this stage, it can't be said with any certainty, if the many Boyds in the 6 northern Counties of England ALL STEM FROM ADAM BOYD - said youngest son of Lord Boyd. So those Boyds that do have family in the Scottish Border area - especially those that can go back past 1800 - please let the list know about your Borders family.

James Boyd of Bedford co., VA., who witnessed an indenture of John Boyd, Jr and Margaret Willson (Wilson) (from Newberry, S.C.) in Pulaski Co., KY. -- I have mislaid the date of that indenture. But according to "The Boyds of Boyds Tank" p. 24, James Boyd who came to Pulaski c1806-12 (married Mildred Moody) was the son of Robert Boyd of Pennsylvania. see http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BOYD/2004-06/1087460608 This indicates James Boyd's dates as c1750-1812. This posting says that this James Boyd was b. 1735 Scotland, the son of a Robert Boyd b.1705, and grandson of James Boyd b.1675 Scotland, no proof cited: http://genforum.genealogy.com/boyd/messages/6955.html > From: isbell2@hotmail.com > To: boyd@rootsweb.com > Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:38:49 +0000 > Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Boyd of South Carolina > > > I'm lucky enough to have several Boyd lines. > > The John Boyd of Newberry, S.C., who you mention was one of my Boyd lines.

I'm lucky enough to have several Boyd lines. The John Boyd of Newberry, S.C., who you mention was one of my Boyd lines. John Boyd Jr. and wife Margaret Wil(l)son were my ancestors. George Leland Summer's book just calls her Margaret on p.198 and gives a blank for her maiden name. It is at googlebooks, in case this link doesn't work: http://books.google.com/books?id=Er8JVErXNbYC&pg=PA197&dq=%22George+leland+summer%22,+%22Boyds+were+a+wide%22&hl=en&ei=q4BNTtWxLImutwfQ_fGsBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false see also http://www.thecitizen.com/archive/finding%20your%20folks/fyf2002/fyf020913.html http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BOYD/2005-06/1117758435 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BOYD/2005-06/1117777513 My father descended through John Boyd Jr. and Margaret Willson's daughter Jane Boyd who married Rev.
