I recently got a query about this family who is known to be buried on his farm near Maddens Station, Laurens County, South Carolina. There are two origins given for this family. The first is that he came form Glastry townland, County Down on the Ards Peninsular, Ireland. The Second that he came from County Londonderry. There were Boyds in Glastry and these cane be trace back to Colonel David Boyd who came to the Ards Peninsular in 1606, but form what is known of his family, I can’t see any likely matches with any known part of that family. While there are plenty of Boyd families in County Londonderry in Londonderry City Limavady and around Coleraine that this William Blanton Boyd might belong to. T1? William Blanton Boyd, b 14/3/1737 ( , Ireland?), d 10/12/1809 ( , Laurens Co., SC), bu on family farm, near Maddens Station, Laurens County, South Carolina [a], m / /175x (church, town, county, etc), Margaret Evaline Cochrane, dau of and (nee ) Cochrane/Cochran, b / /173x ( , Londonderry, Ireland), d / /18xx ( ), bu on family farm, near Maddens Station, Laurens County, South Carolina [a] , USA, and had issue:- [Lived: of Sandy Branch, Laurens County, SC. [1] ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] The Leonardo Andrea Collection, Univ SC Caroliniana Library Page Number: 256, 257 and 258. It is quite “strange” that in 1737 someone would have two Christian names. Some sources say that he came to South Carolina in 1772 with Rev William Martin. It is known that two “William” Boyd families came with this migration but not it if any William Blanton Boyd was either of them. Then some other records say that he was married in South Carolina in 1770. Thus suggesting that he arrived in America before 1772 and most likely came down from PA or Maryland along the GReat Wagon Road to South Carolina. So have these people researching this family “confused” two William Boyd families and this has been included in hte various websites on this family? If you belong to or think that you belong to this family I would like to hear form you Mike Boyd Chairman \Historical Committee House of Boyd Society ch 11/559

Does anyone one on the Boyd recognise these names and which of the 8 or so Boyd families from Laurens County, SC that they might be a part of?

If you are planning to take a trip to any of these three counties this northern summer – tell the list, as members will be able to help you with your planning in what you need to visit to find information on your family and places you need to visit. You will need to pack 36 hours into a 24 hour day. The more you know about your Boyd families (and spouse families) in your own County, the more you are likely to find in the County you are visiting. It is also a very good idea to list the “Questions” or items of data that you are looking for rather than reply on the poor old grey matter – as you will get home and say why didn’t I look for that?

The website wife of George Boyd of Compass, PA – Isabella Burns or not? In the website - George Boyd - Isabella Burns | FamilyCentral www.familycentral.net/index/family.cfm?ref1=15888:1814&ref2=15888:1815 It said that George Boyd was baptised on 31 May 1691 at Airth, Stirlingshire, Scotland and died 1731 at Gap, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. That in about 1709 in County Antrim, Ireland he married Isabella Burns, the daughter of Andrew Burns and Marion Beig. This Isabella was born about 1692 in Falkirk, Stirlingshire and died in 1749 in Pennsylvania. >From this data it would appear that George Boyd was married when he was only 18 years old. This seems a “young” age for a male Boyd to marry. So does it indicate his family had wealth in being able to support a wife at such a young age? Or does it indicate that these dates are wrong! >From this Family Central Family history Services site there is not indication as to what these sources are nor could I see any contact details for the sender of this data. The tree has Isabella the fifth child of her parents So can we “now accept” that George Boyd’s wife Isabella was “Isabella Burns”? Or has this website make a wrong connection between this Boyd and Burns family? For your discussion Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Or perhaps, since the birthdate of eldest son Patrick is given as 1710, Isabella was pregnant at the time of marriage.

>From The Hearth Tax for Ayrshire 1691, Ayrshire Records Series Volume 1, ed Robert Urquhart & Rob Close, 1998, it has under Kilmarnock “Parish of Kilmarnock - The Town John Boyd, officer (3) John Boyd, bally (6)” There was no mention of Dean Castle, although Rowallan Castle was mentioned and I have always ASSUMED that Dean Castle was being used as a military “post” – but I have never found any evidence to that effect. Do any members of this list have any information about this “John Boyd, bally” of Kilmarnock? His parents or origins and his family and any descendants? The first Earl of Kilmarnock had a son John Boyd who was baptised 5/3/1672 (Kirkintillock Parish, Dumbartonshire), so I would assume that he is not this Bailie Boyd. Because he has 6 Hearth’s I assume that this John Boyd had some wealth and is most likely a descendant of one of the earlier Lord Boyd – but which one. Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

Arthur S Boyd said in 1924 “The Boyds of Wigton were of the Portincross family.” In the book THE BOYD FAMILY BY ARTHUR S. BOYD, Jr. 1924 on page 11 he says “The Boyds of Wigton were of the Portincross family.” There is no footnote or any other indication as to why he has made this “bold statement” that those Boyds in Wigton – (hear I am assuming he means the Shire and not just the town of Wigton) – have all stemmed from the Boyds of Portincross in North Ayrshire. This sentence was in his footnote on the Boyds of Portincross. Can accept this statement as face value? There is no reason why the younger sons of Portincross did not go to Wigtonshire and perhaps become “landholders” or leased farms in this area. From the known history of the Boyds of Portincross it would/could have taken place in the 1400’s, 1500’s or early 1600’s. However, there is also no reason why other Cadet Branches of Boyds in Ayrshire might not have moved to Wigtonshire. For example much of Wigtonshire was Kennedy “Lands” and these Boyds could equally have come from the Boyds of Penkill after 1532 when Adam Boyd of Penkill married the second Lord Kennedy’s youngest daughter. So if your Boyds have been traced back to Wigtonshire, they might take you back to the Portincross Boyd and to the 1372 and the 6th generation of Boyds. Thank you.

As many of you will know in the 1790 US Census one third of the 3,300 listed Boyds came from PA. It is THOUGHT that most of these came form Ireland and most likely from the Northern Counties that now make Northern Ireland plus County Donegal. Many of these Boyds were in Chester County – which was an original County in PA. Then in 1729 Lancaster County was cut of from Chester and I assume at that time just ran “west”. I have about 20 Boyd Family Chapters for Chester County and about the same for Lancaster County. Hear are the 1790 entries for Chester County, PA BOYD,Andrew PA Co:Chester Twp:E.Nottingham BOYD,Catherine PA Co:Chester Twp:Fallowfield BOYD,George PA Co:Chester Twp:Sadsbury BOYD,Hannah PA Co:Chester Twp:Sadsbury BOYD,James PA Co:Chester Twp:Oxford BOYD,James Jr PA Co:Chester Twp:Sadsbury BOYD,James Jr PA Co:Chester Twp:Oxford BOYD,John PA Co:Chester Twp:E.Fallowfield BOYD,John PA Co:Chester Twp:Londonderry BOYD,Thomas PA Co:Chester Twp:W.Caln You can see the townships these Boyds lived in and you may be able to make a connection Hear are the Lancaster County 1790 entries BOYD,Alexander PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Martick BOYD,Charles PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Lancaster Borough BOYD,James PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Martick BOYD,James PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Salisbury [see ch 5/266 - S2/T3] BOYD,John PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Dunmore (This should be Drumore) BOYD,John PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Martick BOYD,John PA Co:Lancaster Twp:May Town BOYD,John PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Salisbury [see ch 5/266 - S2/T1] BOYD,Samuel PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Dunmore (This should be Drumore) BOYD,Samuel PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Lancaster Borough BOYD,William PA Co:Lancaster Twp:Salisbury [see ch 5/266 - g/s of S2?] So these 21 families must have quite a lot of descendants who have spread west and south. It would be quite a good idea to join Jean Burchett when she host the Boyd tent at the end of June. The city of Lancaster, has quite a good Library at the Lancaster County Historical Society (if you are not a member you will need to pay for the days research) Charlene Kemp and have been to this Library twice and pick up “most” of the Boyd data at that time. While it is not too far to go to the State Capital at Harrisburg and visit the State Library there. BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE it is opened on the days you wish to visit. While some of the Philadelphia Libraries might also be quite useful to visit to see what extra data you can find including SPOUSE FAMILIES. If you can’t join Jean this year at the Boyd tent and make a visit to the various Libraries around Lancaster County – before or after the Games – you may wish to start working to build your tree so you can go in June 2017.

If you can’t join Jean this year at the Boyd tent and make a visit to the various Libraries around Lancaster County – before or after the Games – you may wish to start working to build your tree so you can go in June 2017. Has anyone been to the Chester County Library and does it have any Boyd Family data in it?

In Arthur E Boyd’s book of 1914 he says a number of the descendants are buried in the “Boyd lot in the North Monroe cemetery” I assume in Maine Has anyone on this list, visted this cemetery? Thank you Mike Boyd

In the book THE BOYD FAMILY, BY ARTHUR S. BOYD, Jr. 1924 in his Introduction he thanks:- “I am especially indebted to Mr. Leonard Boyd, Mrs.Flora (Boyd) Chadbourne, Mrs. Emma (Boyd) Billings, Mr. Charles H. Boyd, and Miss Angeline Gould, for the assistance they have rendered in the past ten years, and to my wife, who helped bring my work to 1 successful conclusion.” Would there be any descendants of these people on the Boyd list to day? And have an list member come across “any work” of the above people? Thank you Mike Boyd

The family of Spencer Boyd, 10th Laird of Penkill [Ch 18, R1] In the last week or so I have been going through my trip notes since 2005 and found quite a number of articles on the Boyd families of both Penkill and Trochrig. According to Historical and Genealogical Notes, William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 7, Issue 2 (Oct. 1898), p. 126 “Spencer Boyd, came from the county of Ayr, Scotland, to King and Queen Co, VA where he was partner in merchandizing with Thomas Brown. His will bears date Dec 7, 1778, and it was proved May 10, 1779. Issue by First wife: 1, James; and by second wife, Lucy _____, 2, Spencer; 3, Robert; 4, William; 5, Julia; and 6, “the child my wife now goes with.” Under entail his Pinkill estate, in Ayr, descended to his eldest son, James, who dying without heirs, it came to his son, Spencer Boyd, Jr., who returned to Scotland and there died before 1809, leaving an infant son whose guardian was James Thompson. (Chancery Papers in Williamsburg.)” This is the first time that I have seen that this Spencer Boyd had married twice. It also tells us that he had a further four children besides the normal two sons that are general given to him – James Boyd, eleventh Laird of Penkill and Spencer Boyd, twelfth Laird of Penkill. Of the four new children, at least two are sons. So does anyone stem from either Robert or William Boyd? If so, you will be able to go back the Lord Boyd and to 1100’s A. D. and be one of about ten known people who can connect to the Head of the Clan before 1758. And would anyone know the name of the sixth child that would appear to be born after his will was written on 7 December 1778. So do we have any Boyd researchers that can go back to King and Queen County Virginia or to Stratton Main, VA. Another source said that this Spencer Boyd, who died about 1782, lived at Stratton Main, VA. I am not sure if Stratton Main is in King and Queen County, Virginia or not. So could one of our Virginian cousins please confirm this? Would there be any burial records for the late 1770’s and 1780’s period for this area of Virginia or cemetery inscriptions available that might provide further information on this family and their descendants? Thank you. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS #53

Milke, Thank you for forwarding tihis info to me but unfortunately it doesn't appear to tie in with what I already have and no I cannot supply any more info than what I have. It has been a long and grinding road for me attempting to trace these Boyds but I guess if I keep at it I will get there eventually. My problem seems to be that I do not have enough info on these Boyds in Swansea albeit I feel that they are my relo's according to my grandmother. She used to always state that William Boyd, who was her father was settled in Swansea and primarily a boat builder along wit his brother Thomas.This of course would make the aforesad William Boyd my great grandfather. Q: Was the Boyd Street in Swansea was named for these Boyd brothers ? Over and above that I do not seem to be able to break the barrier to tell me where and when these Boyd brothers came from initially and so I guess the question is do you know of anybody else who has researched this family ? Thank you for taking the time to read this information and I have taken on board all that you have sent me and I appreciate that, however I still am up against that proverbial brick wall.

Boyd grave at Larne that appears to be linked to the Penkill Boyds In the book Gravestone Inscriptions, County Antrim, Volume 4, Old Families of Larne & District from Gravestone Inscriptions, Wills and Biographical Notes, George Rutherford, (no date), page 30 it has this grave inscription:- “BOYD [Sandstone with arms:- a fess chequy, in the base a cross moline. Crest:- a hand in a benedicton couped. Motto:- confido.] Here lyeth the body of Agness Boyd who died 8th Jan. 1792 aged 75 years. Also James Boyd who departed this life 17th Jan. 1792 aged 67 years. Also Janet Boyd who died 2d Feb. 1796 aged 75 years. Also Jenny Boyd who departed this life January 3rd 1832 aged 71 years. Also Wm Nelson who departed this life March 3rd 1841 aged 82 years.” This grave’s arms are “similar” to those of the Boyds of Penkill which are:- “Az. a fesse chequy ar. and gu. in base a cross moline or. Crest - A cross moline sa. Motto - Prudentia me sustinet.” So why would this family in County Antrim have part of the Arms of the Boyds of Penkill? Could it be that there are a “missing” part of the Boyds of Penkill? >From this inscription, it would appear, that these are four “single” Boyd members, with the last – Jenny Boyd perhaps being the wife of William Nelson. a) Agness Boyd, bc 1717 (???, Ireland or Scotland), d 8/1/1792 (???, County Antrim) b) James Boyd, bc 1725 (???, Ireland or Scotland), d 17/1/1792 (???, County Antrim) c) Janet Boyd, bc 1721 (???, Ireland or Scotland),, d 2/2/1796 (???, County Antrim) d) Jenny Boyd, bc 1761 (???, Ireland or Scotland), d 3/1/1832 (????, County Antrim) – where William Nelson who died in 1841 MIGHT BE HER HUSBAND. Thank you if you can supply any additional information on these Boyd’s Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

I have these records for James Boyd of the Trochrig family who became the 11th Larid of Penkill. S1 James Boyd, eleventh Laird of Penkill, bc 1776 (Scot.?), d 17xx, m 18xx, Betty Boyd, dau of Boyd, b 17xx, d 18xx, and had no issue:- [Lived: ] - said never left America. The Boyds of Penkill and Trochrig their Ancestors and Descendants, Seymour Clarke, 1909, p 22 said he succeeded to Penkill in 1782. Then in 1792 Spencer's younger son, also Spencer, inherited the Scottish estate from his brother and decided to live there. Assume James died 1792. Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America - 1625-1825, Volume VI by David Dobson 1986: (Page 12) "Boyd, James - Probative certificate by Betty Boyd, widow of James Boyd, King and Queen County, Virginia, on the one hand, and on the other Robert Ware, Middlesex County, attorney for Spencer Boyd in Ayrshire, regarding an agreement entered into on 12 August 1796 and filed in the Chancery District Court, Williamsburg, Virginia, in a suit commenced by the said Betty Boyd against Lyne Shackleford, executor of Thomas Brown. Reference to the lands of Penkill, Ayrshire. Subscribed in Richmond, Virginia, on 26 October 1823. Witnesses Thomas C Howard, Richmond, Virginia, and John Adams, Mayor of Richmond, Virginia. (RD5.239.415)" Does anyone live near Williamsburg, Virginia to be bale to look at these records in the Chancery District Court? Or were these records destroyed during the Civil War? I would like to see what details it has on this Boyd family and what lands were part of this Estate in Ayrshire? Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Hmmmm. Young acquired it from Boyd. Mike..... This may belong in a new thread...... I am still at a brick wall with my great grand father. John Boyd. John Young. Boyd. Born in the 1860s. Do you have any record or knowledge of a familial relationship between this Young family and thus branch of the Boyds? Was there, perhaps a Young daughter married to a Boyd sion? If so, did they have issue? What became of their issue? Might be grasping at straws, but with a brick wall, I must look in every possible direction. Aye, Lauren
