While from The Montgomery Manuscripts: (1605-1706), Rev George Hill, 1869, p 130-143, in Chapter IX which describes the Funeral Possession for the first Viscount Great Ards in September 1636. "4th, Then marched the standard borne by Lt Robert Montgomery. 5th, After it followed the servants to the second Viscount, the chief mouner, viz - John Boyd William Catherwood Mr Samuel Row, Henry Purfrey Hugh Montgomery, of Newton James Fairburn, Hugh Montgomery, of Grange, Jun. Edw. Johnston, of Greengrave. Most of the above have footnotes against them. Footnote # 34 for John Boyd it says:- "John Boyd - This gentleman was, no doubt, a descendant - probably a grandson - of Colonel David Boyd. John Boyd of Drumnafaddie, or Drumfad, near Donaghadee, held a bond for 150 pound against the second earl of MountAlexander, in 1676. - MS. Paper preserved at Donaghadee. A rent-roll of the Mount-Alexander estate, at the close of the seventeenth century, represents David Boyd as in possession of Drumfad, formerly held by John Boyd. The lands contained 176 acres, for which the yearly rent was 4 pound 13s 4d." This would suggest an line of descent of Boyds at DRUMFAD until about 1700. (Drumfad is 2 kms south of Millisle.) What happened to them after that? A possible family tree for this branch MIGHT BE:- N/O John Boyd, b / /15xx - living 1676 (father or son?) O/P David Boyd, living 1700 So the question "Was this John Boyd of Drumfad in 1636 a brother to Robert Boyd [N1], or a son of one of his unnamed brothers as suggested by Rev George Hill." Hill does not say what sort of servant this John Boyd was? Mike Boyd would doubt that he was a house servant but had something to do with the running of the Earl's Estate and as such had some form of education. 10th, Then came the Gentlemen and Esquire, who were mouners, Amongst these is listed "Thomas Boyd, of Whitehouse," on page 139 Footnote # 63 says: "A Thomas Boyd was member of Parliament for Bangor, in 1663, and was expelled from the house for complicity in Blood's plot. He was originally a northern man, although afterwards described as a Dublin merchant. The remains of the 'Old Whitehouse' still exist in the locality now known as Macedon Point, on the Antrim side of Belfast Lough. The troops brought by William III. to Ireland, in 1689, disembarked at the Whitehouse, and were joined by the king, who had come on shore at Carrickfergus. He rested here for a time, probably in the house that had been occupied by Thomas Boyd, and was here joined by duke Schomberg, the prince of Wirtemberg, major-general Kirk, and other officers. - Ulster Journal of Archaeology, vol. i, p 131." Could this Thomas Boyd be the father of Q1's wife in Chapter 3? Or has there "confusion" between two Thomas Boyd's? What does the term "He was originally a northern man" mean? So can he be linked to any of the Boyd's in northern Antrim or Londonderry pre 1663? Does anyone know where this John Boyd of 1637 actually came from? It is known that a Colonel David Boyd, was given land in Greyabbey Parish in 1606 by Sir Hugh Montgomery. However, what is not know is if there is any link between him and this John Boyd. Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

Susan The most common male Boyd names - in rough order - are 1 John 2 James either 3 William or 4 Robert 5 Thomas While you know your family starts with a "William Boyd" born in 1825 in County Antrim, you COULD NOT SAY that he is "connected" to a "William Boyd born in 1705 in Northern Ireland." The Northern Ireland of 1705 most likely meant the Province of Ulster which has 9 counties, where as Northern Ireland today only has 6 Counties. Just to add to the confusion. Even if your William Boyd, was born in say 1725, you could not say they were one and the same person. With such a age gap, all you MIGHT SAY IS THAT THEY "COULD" BE father and son. You would need DNA testing to make the connection. Not a single name. When Cal said that the William Boyd, born in 1705 in Northern Ireland and his wife was Margaret "McClean" - to my eye - this could be a mispelling of Maclean. The Maclean's came from northern Argyllshire. And in the Maclean's of Argdour form the early 1400's you had several Boyd families. In this case it is a THEORY ON MY PART - that if Margaret McClean was in fact a Margaret McLean - then this MIGHT INDICATE his Boyd family came form Argyllshire rather than Ayrshire. So to make a connection you need - name - dates - location - spouse - children and even then, because some many Boyd families have similar names, you still might make the right connection between two generations. Sorry about being so long winded. With your Boyds coming form Derrykeighan, it is known that at least two Boyd families were there in 1637, as one had land to the east and and one had land to the west of Derrykeighan. So list membersjust now have to help you fillin the missing 200 years Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust. -----Original Message----- From: Susan Cicala via Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 2:56 AM To: Cal boyd ; boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BOYD] William Boyd/Magaret McClean This may have no bearing on your William… but I have in my tree a William Boyd (1825 Antrim -1897 Greenock, Scot) Married (1) Jane Kain 9 March 1846 Ballymoney, Derrykeighan.

Hi cousins, I'm hoping against hope that somebody might have stumbled upon information relating to my 5th great-grandmother, Ann Boyd, who married William Finnie of Kilmarnock in Ardrossan in 1745. William's family had apparently lived at Constablewood near Largs prior to him moving to Kilmarnock. A Grizel Taylor nee Finnie (widow) moved there from Constablewood prior to William's marriage to Ann. I think that perhaps she had gone to Kilmarnock to care for his three children, born of his first marriage to Mary Wilson, following her death. I believe that William may have died c.1772, as there was an inventory done of an ironmongery owned by W.Finnie in Kilmarnock, in that year. My 4th great-grandfather, John Finnie, was born in Kilmarnock in 1762. He was apprenticed to James Arthur, a sadler in Ayr, in 1777....interestingly, the same year that his brother, Archibald, was listed as a nailer, taking on other apprentices. John moved to Piccadilly c.1796. There are a number of family gravestones in Kilmarnock, but William and Ann do not seem to have been buried there.....I certainly can't find any evidence either way. As there were said to be a number of members of various branches of the Finnie family buried at Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, I am wondering if perhaps they may have been buried there. Again, I have so far found no evidence either way. Certainly, there were Finnies living there who had also come from Constablewood. I would be delighted to hear from anybody who might be able to help me unravel a little bit of this mystery. Cheers, Lynne. :)

Referring to Mike Boyd's message with your posting regarding Jane Boyd & William James McWha family, I have no connection to this family, cgorley, but wonder if you have seen Family Tree of Jennifer Byde on Ancestry.com??

Hi Lynne I am from Kilmarnock and Finnie is a well known name in and about the town over the passed few hundred years. I am not sure if you are aware but there is a John Finnie Street in the town. It may be worth your while contacting the Burns Monument Centre, Kilmarnock as they are the family history centre for the town. There may be a connection there, John Stewart.

Thank you for putting in your Email address, so those of us only on the BOYD@rootsweb.com net can reply to you. 1) Do you know where the seven McWha children were born and when? 2) I could not pick up the marriage from the 1994 IGI for the UK? But that does not mean too much for Ireland 3) Have you tried either PRONI or the Northern Ireland Registry? With Jane Boyd McWha dying about 1885 one of these should have her listed. 4) Have you contact the Newspaper Library just behind the Central Library in Belfast to see if they might have a Card on her death from a Newspaper article on her death? Hear I am assuming that the family came form Northern Ireland and not the South. (Do any list member know the contacts in Dublin?) 5. Do you know the religion of the McWha parents and/or children? 6. While Boyds are fairly common in the six Northern Counties, you will find Boyds in the other Counties within Erie. So finding which County they came from in Ireland will be the most important after the death certificate. This will allow you to look at another set of data such as the Griffith Valuation for that area, etc 7. I have a number of Boyd burials for County down In Tullynakill Graveyard (which from the Townlands listed should be between Newtonards and Greyabbey "James McWha, Ringneel, parish of Tullynakill, died 8-4-1764, aged 67 years Jane (wife of John McWha, Bangor) (alias Boyd) died 21-12-1788 aged 60 years John McWha died 1-4-1809, aged 90 years" This grave is about 100 years before the period that you are looking at but might be indicator as to where you might find the McWha family? Members is there anything else that I have forgotten!

Last night, I noticed that the US Superbowl will start at 9 am Monday – Australian time – in about 30 minutes time. So I expect many of our US cousins will be “quietly” sitting in front of their TV’s for the next 5 or 6 hours – thinking of those genealogical questions that they can ask after the game. For the rest of the members of this list around the World, ask your questions that are causing you trouble to develop your Boyd family tree; or let us know about “that brick wall” that is causing you trouble to take your family back further. There will be people on hte list whom mihgt be able to help you or make suggestions as to where you can get help. Thank you. (And to those that MUST watch the Superbowl, we hope that you write doen your questions during the games, as you may not be in a fit state after to remember any questions.)

Members Has anyone seen this book. I assume it was written before Charles Hanna’s book History of the Scotch Irish. So do either of these books provide a “background”of this migration, that might be used to find your individual family? And form my point of view, does it record any Boyd families, so I can search for it during my next trip to the USA Mike Boyd

Steve was born in Pomona, California to Durkee and Lyle Boyd and preceded in death by his sister Sandra Boyd Pierce and his parents. He attended public schools in Pomona and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). At UCLA he was president of his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, was active in intramural sports, and a member of the Kelps. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1962, he served for two years aboard the USS St. Paul as a deck and gunnery officer. He then headed to the East Coast to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with an MBA in 1966. His long and distinguished career in finance spanned 40 years in portfolio management, managing equities for financial institutions and later also managing retail mutual funds. Prior to retirement in 2007, he served as president and chief investing officer of Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM), then as head of global research for all of MSIM. Post retirement from Morgan Stanley, Steve served on the Board of Directors of The Motley Fool group of funds. He will be remembered as a mentor and a trusted friend to many. Steve was a true Renaissance man with many and varied interests that included books, travel, music, fine wine, and music. He was also, at heart, a true collector, with a passion for collecting modern fiction first editions, 18th century naval memorabilia, Chinese porcelain, and fine wines. He was equally as enthusiastic and passionate about traveling the world, his curiosity and zest for life taking him and his wife Vinnie to the four corners of the globe. The year after his retirement he planned an adventure to explore and sample the wines of the Southern Hemisphere that took them over the course of a year to South America, Australia, and South Africa. His ready wit and quick smile resulted in lasting friendships throughout the world. In 1973, Steve married Lavinia Price, the love of his life with whom he spent 43 wonderful years. Because of his career, the early years were spent living on the East Coast, primarily in New York, Boston, and Connecticut, but in 1989, a job change brought them to Houston, a homecoming for Vinnie and halfway to Steve’s native California. Life in Houston was rich with friends and a satisfying career, but upon retirement, they built a home on their farm near Brenham, Texas and became fulltime residents of Washington County. Survivors include his wife, Vinnie; son, Mitchell Boyd and his wife Deborah of Edgewater, Maryland; daughter, Susan Lerry and her husband Brian of Plano, Texas; grandchildren, Austin and Madison Boyd, both of Edgewater, Maryland; nephews, David Pierce and Matthew Pierce, both of Phoenix, Arizona; and brother-in-law, Steven Price of Tijeras, New Mexico. A reception is to be held from three until five o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the 5th of March in the grand foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive. Come celebrate Steve and raise a glass of wine in his memory. In lieu of customary remembrances the family kindly suggests contributions be directed to the STEPHEN L. AND LAVINIA BOYD FUND FOR LEUKEMIA RESEARCH for the research by Dr. Borje Andersson, C/O the Development Office, MD Anderson Cancer Center, P. O. Box 301439, Houston, Texas 77250-1439.

During my trip to PRONI Belfast last year, I was given the above marriage. I have just had some time to look at my Notebook form that trip and looked at the 1994 IGI for the UK, but could not find any marriage entry for them. So is anyone researching this couple? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

UHF's online "index only" (without the marriage partner) shows a Catherine Boyd married 1748 in County Antrim and a Robert Kennedy married 1760 in County Down. So, no match there.
