Hey Barry, As I read this book this index contains the names of the “religious fanatics” (so called by the King’s thugs) who were were tortured and executed for their steadfastness in their Presbyterian beliefs and refused to take an oath unto the King who declared that he was the head of the Church. There would be a great number of people who escaped this inquisition or never asked one way or the other. These names would not be in this index. That would account for the known Boyds not included in the index. Bill Boyd "Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thaining thu" Remember the men from whom you are descended From: Barry Boyd via Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2015 10:22 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com; Mike Boyd Subject: Re: [BOYD] Fw: Boyd Covenanter in Scotland about 1655 Wow! Mike, This is a Great list. Where to start? I guess we should identify all of the ones we can. I will start by noticing that there are no Boyd of Airth on this list which fits since those who we think are their descendants were all Anglican. So, here is a list of known Presbetyrians, in Scotland prior to 1700. Chronologically by approximation of birth 1650 James Boid of Balwhatstone- Where was this? John Boyd of Trochrig- this is odd to me. John Boyd of Edinburgh, Midlothian. can we eliminate that these are the same John? John Boyd of Glasgow, Lanark- there are two Boyds of Lanark on this list John and William 1655 Alexander Boyd of Hartfield (note that the spelling is "Boyid") Where was Hartfield? Alexander Boyd of Kilbride Parish- ? Kilbride castle? or was that a Hamilton holding by this time? Alexander Boyd of Noddsdaill- interesting that the Boyd are still in possession of this land at this time in history as the first reference to Robert Boyd the first refers to him as "of Noddsdale". Have we ever identified where this is? It is not Portincross as there is another on this list from there. Lady Christian Boyd of Harden (wife of Sir William Scott) I bet this is a story to tell James Boyd in Ruthwall? Janet Boyd in Robiquhat Jean Boyd in Robiquhat-  Where is Robiquhat? were these man and wife, brother sister, two sisters? John Boyd in Kirktoun John Boyd in Ruthwall- Two from Ruthwall, brothers or cousins? John Boyd in Whait John Boyd in Auchingavin John Boyd in Collehill These are all obviously different men. Where were these towns? notice the "in" instead of "of" designation, the "of" tending to allude to the person being possessor of the lands mentioned. some women Katherine Boyd in Moffat- a wife?, widow, or daughter? Margaret Boyd in Kirkudbright- same questions Mary in Raeburn Mary in Ruthwall Mungo Boyd in Heyberries- !! this should strike a tone for some American Boyds. we see this name here. Robert Boyd in Smellholme -several pages about this fellow. he seems to be an important Covenanter. Robert Boyd at Carmunock- this says he was a minister. Where was Carmunock and what does "at" mean? Thomas Boyd in Kilmarnock- note not "of", this is the only Kilmarnock on this list and the castle was still standing. William Boyd in Merton parish- Boyds of Merton? William Boyd in Glasgow, Lanark- So the lords on this list seem to be: Alexander of Hartfield- (spelled Boyid) this Lady Christian of Harden wife of Sir William Scott, John Boyd of Trochrig John Boyd of Midlothian (possibly the castle we now call "Bedlay" as this was before the sale) Robert Boyd of Portencross (the elder)- known and last but not least on the list is one born about 1672 named George whose place is simply "Scotland" Interesting how many known Boyds are NOT on this list. I look forward to hearing from the researchers on these several places. Barry in Dallas

So all of these people were executed for their Presbyterian belief that Christ was the head of the church and not the king? Was this after the restoration of King Charles II or during the interregnum and Civil war?

Susan, I am approaching you for assistance in the matter of the above brothers. In reference to these two brothers ie William and Thomas Boyd all I know is that they were residents of Swansea in NSW Australia but where they came from originally I do not seem to be able trace. My relationship to these Boyds is that William Boyd would be my great grandfather on my mothers side. William had at least one child who was Maud Gertrude Boyd who married Walter Lambert James she being my grandmother but I do believe that she was born in Swansea and if the memory works correctly she was born circa 1888. I do not know who William Boyd married either so that I am now in a position that I know basically nothing in regard William Boyds family history. This whole thing has become a puzzle to me and I am now wondering if you know of any other researchers searching this family who maybe of assistance to me. Under normal circumstances I would not approach anyone to assist in my family history as I do not normally have a problem but I do with this family. The two Boyd brothers, Thomas and William were early settlers at Lake Macquarie NSW Australia and were both boatbuilders and fisherman. I have not even been able to trace the death of William Boyd or his burial place and this of course makes research a little more difficult. The only children I know of to William Boyd was my grandmother ( Maud ) and I do not know of any of Thomas' family. I would appreciate it if you could at the very least show me in which direction I should travel to gain more info on these two Boyd brothers and who they married in or around Lake Macquarie district of NSW. Are you of any assistance in tis matter or do you know any particular person or persons who may be able to assist me? I thank you taking the time to read this message, Warren Stoddart Lake Macquarie NSW

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Boyd World Wide a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am just about to start my Christmas Cards, while I watch the Australia V. West Indies Cricket Test third day Normally by now one of my 8 year old granddaughters has told me what presents she would like Santa to being her for Christmas. I have not got any instructions so far this year, so I am behind with my Christmas preparations. Hopefully in mid January, and after we have all recovered from the Christmas/New Year activities people can start to advertise what they are looking for and others on the list can help them with sources and family connections.

From my understanding, Balleywindlenad is quite the unpopulated farming area and there was a farm that this particular Boyd family kept there that somehow closely relates to my line for roughly 200 years there up until just a few decades ago… Sincerely, Laury > On Dec 9, 2015, at 2:21 PM, Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> wrote: > > Sorry - hit send instead of paste. > > V4 Samuel Boyd, b / /1782 ( , Ireland?), d 8/8/1862 ( , Ireland?), bu , m / /181x (church, town, county, etc), Jane/Jean Crilly, dau of and (nee ) Crilly, b / /1785 ( ), d 30/6/1865 ( ), bu , and had issue:- > [Lived: ] > > - In 1817 a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church, Ballymoney.

As you can see I have have that they were members of the 1st Presbyterian Church in Ballymoney, so it would be worth contacting the Ballymoney Library to see if they have a list of the burials at this Church. If not you will have to go to the Local Studies section at Ballymena Library. I see that this Samuel died in 1862, so that will mean that he will have an Official Death Certificate.

Laury Ballywindland is about 4 kms NW of Ballymoney. It is between the River Bann and the Road to Coleraine. Besides Boyds in Ballymoney, there are about 10-12 Boyd families in all directions around this Town. I am not sure when Boyd families first went to Ballymoney but in "the Directory of Irish Family Research 2000, Tenants on the estates of the Earls of Antrim in the 17th century", Ian Montgomery, pp 80-81, it has this to say about the records available. This article has these entries 26. Margaret Boyd and Francis Boyd (her son), Carnmmon, 18 Nov 1675, lease of Ballycubidell [Cubbindall, P. of Ballymoney], Stradbally [Stradbilly], Carnmoone [Carnmoon], Carnboare [Carnbore], Sleightcolman [Liscolman], Islands of Carnmoon and Ballyhomlin [Ballyhemlin], all P. of Billy. D/2977/3A/3/1/29. 27. Thomas Boyd, Gent. of Ballynacree, 20 July 1637, lease of Ballynecree [Ballynacree], Cuolagaht [?] and Ballyvattock [Ballywattick] all P. of Ballmoney. D/2977/3A/3/1/6 28. Thomas Boyd, Gent. of Ballyneirie [Ballynacree, P. of Ballymoney], 21 July 1637, lease of Knockan [? Knockans, P. of Finvoy]. D/2977/3A/5/35/1 I am not sure if the two Thomas Boyds are the same person or two different Thomas Boyd Good hunting Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: skylaury@comcast.net via Sent: Wednesday, December 9, 2015 2:18 PM To: boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Samuel Boyd of Ballywindelland c. 1700s, any knowledge?

Laury Some of these entries might be later generations of your family? >From The Coleraine Chronicle, Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1844-1869, Published by the Coleraine Branch of the North of Ireland Family History Society, [date] It has the following entries for Ballywindelland which MAY RELATE to Samuel Boyd's family and or descendants. Births 1) Boyd, Son, 22 June 61, At Ballywindin, on 19th June, the wife of Mr Samuel Boyd, of an son. 2) Boyd, Son, 4 Oct 62, at Ballywindland, Ballymoney, on the 25th ult., the wife of Mr Joseph Boyd, of an son. Deaths 3) Boyd, Samuel, 15 Mar 62, At Ballywindland, Ballymoney, on 11th inst., Mr Samuel Boyd aged 33 years. 4) Boyd, Samuel, 30 Aug 62, At Ballywindland, near Coleraine, on the 8th inst., Mr Samuel Boyd, farmer, aged 80 years. 5) Boyd, Thomas, 17 July 49, On the 3rd instant. at his father's residence, Ballywindland, near Ballymoney. Mr Thomas Boyd, aged 20 years, brother to the Rev. John Boyd, of Moyvore, county Westmeath and student of the first year in the Royal Belfast Institution. The marriage list only listed name and not locations, as I did not have time to copy those individually when Iwas at Ballycastle Library. Hear I am assuming that all the above locations are spelling variations for Ballywindelland.

Greetings again, Would anyone have any information on a Samuel Boyd of Ballywindelland, Ireland in the 1700s most likely, now called Ballywindland? I’m sorry I don’t have much more insight to provide on that. I believe there could be others on the list who might be familiar with their own Boyd line deriving from this area and that of a Samuel Boyd in that approximate era? This would shed more light for me on my own line... Thanks in advance for any insight at all. Kind regards, Laury

Jim, Have you eliminated your Robert as being the Robert, brother of George b1661 and James 1662, and son of George and Elizabeth Johnston who christened these three sons in the Anglican church attached to the castle in Airth Stirlingshire, Scotland? DNA seems to prove this connection? We can go back several generations from here. How's the banjo playin' comin'?

I am trying to find the family of Mary Boyd, who was the daughter of William Boyd – we assume of the Ballyhalbert area of Ards Peninsular – who in about 1754 or 1755 married James Boyd of Ballyhalbert, as his second wife. James Boyd and Mary Boyd had their first child at sea on the Atlantic and called her Sea Born Agnes Boyd, b 23/9/1756. This Agnes later married Richard Hudson, in Newburgh, N .Y.. I am trying to find out which Boyd family this William Boyd came form in the Ards Peninsular. Thank you Mike Boyd

Dear Cousins: In order to get the best response to your email/message re your brick wall, it is better to choose a juicy subject line that includes the name, location and dates for your brick wall persons. As all the messages are archived for YEARS, many will miss your post for a couple of reasons. 1) the subject line is too generic and they may not need to read about our brick walls as a topic 2) there is no name to catch one's attention. Additionally, if searching via the subject line, the message will not be listed in the results. Yours Aye, Lauren Boyd LIst Admin
