I have the above Samuel Boyd as being a tailor by Trade. According to W. P. Boyd’s book of 1912, this Samuel Boyd came to New York City in 1740. W. P. Boyd did not say which ship or from what Port that this Samuel left Ireland from. So did he travel by himself? That would be usual in this period? So did he go with other Boyds or did he go with “a group” from Ballyhalbert to New York City. (Hear I am thinking that someone might have “organised”a group of tradesmen for the Ards Peninsular to go to New York City to work for them or members of their Church. For the Down Net list – did any other families migrate in 1740? For the Boyd Net list – did you have any Boyd families migrate to NYC in 1740? This Samuel Boyd in about 1753 to 1756, organised for three of this brothers families and his sister, Mary Boyd who married Mr Waugh to come to NY. At the time of his Will in 1757, he left a farm to each sibling in Orange County, NY. This suggesting that he had some wealth. In 1752, he had a Power of Attorney for Thomas Gelston, a Portaferry shipowner. So he may have been involved in other types of business besides being a tailor. Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane

To add to Bruce's comments and brick wall. Bruce is also a Y DNA match to my Boyd father (R1b-U198) yet the science of that to a common Boyd forefather goes back much further in time than the 1800s. Ironically, Bruce Boyd's ancestor though and my own Boyd paternal line appear in Caldwell County, KY at the same time in the 1800s. This is a very unpopulated county by today's standards, so I can only imagine how unpopulated it was back then. Quite the coincidence and mystery.

My brick wall is my 2nd great-grandfather, James F. Boyd, d. 3 April 1899 in St. Louis, Missouri. He first appears in the 1850 Census in McDonough County, Illinois (age 38, b. Tennessee) with his wife Catherine, age 34, b. Kentucky, and two children, William, age 3, and Mary, age 2, both born in Illinois. William is my great-grandfather. James and his family moved to St. Louis by 1860, where he worked as a saddler or harness maker until his death. They also appear in Caldwell County, KY in 1857 where their daughter Kate was born. The birth record identifies the mother as Kittora J Hanson. The remaining children were born in Missouri (presumably St. Louis): Charles E., 1852; James A., 1861; and Lucy P., 1864. Census records from 1860 through 1880 list James's birth state variously as Kentucky and Alabama. His death certificate says he was born in Alabama, but does not identify his parents. James's wife is listed as Catherine, Kittora, K.J., Ketina, and Keturah on various records. It is not clear whether Catherine listed on the 1850 Census is the same person as Keturah (from 1857 on). I have autosomal DNA matches with several people who have Boyd roots in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina and a Y-DNA match with a living Boyd in Hawkins County, TN. I have not been able to find a genealogical connection to any of these people. Bruce Boyd St. Louis, MO

I did find Martha died 29 Nov 1927 in Greenock. John Bryson Murdoch was born about 1891 in Ireland son of Hugh McMullan Murdoch and Helen Bryson. Martha Boyd was the daughter of Thomas Boyd abt 1856-1901 and Rachel McMillan abt 1848-1910 I also found Hugh's burial information on the CWGC site and he died 23 Mar 1945. It has taken some work to get this. I finally had to break down and buy some credits from the scotlandspeople website to get what I need. I had to go back 1 more generation then forward again to make sure I had the right info. Anything else you could help me with Mike would be great.

So do you know which Church they were married in? Those Church records might have their burial details. If the family lived in Greenock, have you contacted the Greenock Library to see what records they might have on this family? I am not sure if they have a Family Studies section in their Library or they may refer to the Paisley library. With Martha Boyd dying "only six months" after John Murdock's birth might suggest that she died in about 1925. With Hugh Murdock having died about 1945 in WWII, may suggest that he was killed during War service. If so, you should find his grave on the British Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. (Just make sure that you get the right Hugh Murdock.) I do not know what details they provide of next of kin, etc. What Church were Rachel McMillan Murdock and John Brown married in? Does that mean that her parents were of the same Church and therefore most likely buried there? That should give you their birth dates, etc. I think that the 1911 UK Census is the last UK Census to be released, so you find Martha Boyd's parents in those records, along with any unmarried siblings. There are several Boyd families in Greenock, Renfrewshire, so you will need to be carefully that you have the correct Boyd family for Martha Boyd. Greenock, was a seaport and manufacturing centre, so families might have come form other regions to work there. After you provide some more details, I am sure that others will be able to offer you other sources for both the Boyd and Murdock families. Hopefully, I can write to you later to day after I finish some other work I need to complete.

Greetings, Does anyone have information perhaps on a George Boyd who resided in Caldwell County, Kentucky, d. 1839? My direct line ancestor was John P. Boyd of Caldwell County Kentucky (b. 1810 d. 1877) m. Sarah Plunkett Rucker. My ancestor is found to be an executor on the estate of George Boyd. When looking at George Boyd's Estate Settlement found in the "Index to Settlement With Administrators Executors and Sales Inventories in the Caldwell County Clerk's Office”, the following was found on microfilm by an individual who relayed this information to me: John P. Boyd is listed as the administrator of George's Estate. He purchased a few of the items sold and a John Boyd, Sr. is listed as purchasing a few items also. The listing in the book is George Boyd S/1839, Box 9 on p.3. 1839 is George's death year. That individual was hoping to find names of spouses or children of this George Boyd, but did not. In the Caldwell Co marriage book 1833-1853, these children were found. George Boyd is given in each as the person who gives permission for his children to marry. 1831 Catherine Boyd m. Robert Holloway 1836 Crittenden Boyd m. Elizabeth Goodall 17 Feb 1836 p. 17 1836 Susan Boyd m. John Austin 18 Feb 1836 p. 18 Perhaps would anyone know why my John P. Boyd ancestor would have been George's administrator? I suspect he may have been a son or other relative given him being an administrator on the estate of this George Boyd. John Boyd, Sr. is also of interest to us. Would anyone happen to have any insight in his or her personal documents on this family of George Boyd of Caldwell County, Kentucky, as it seems it would shed more light on my own Boyd line that is well documented from my own ancestor John P. Boyd forward to which my direct line ultimately migrated to New York in the late 1800’s. Kind regards, Laury Boyd Long

During my recent overseas trip I copied only the cover of this book while I was in Portland, Oregon. It must have been the last book I got off the shelves before I had to leave, as I have not even copied the contents or Index. Have any members of this list seen, this book, and does it contain any Boyd families in it? We know that a John Boyd bought land in Maryland in about 1683, so this was one of six States where Boyd had settled in the USA Colonies before 1700. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Mike, Thank you for replying to my emai in reference to my Boyd line. The answer to your question is that I don't know and that is because I cannot get past William and Thomas Boyd of Lake Macquarie. I understand what you are saying when you mentioned that you cannot find any reference to my . I have not located any information on these two brothers either other than that which I have mentioned to you. The information that I know, ( but cannot locate on the net is the following :) I do not know who William Boyd married or when. Family heresay is that he came from Swansea where his brother Thomas also lived ???? Prior to that I know nothing hence the reason I have contacted your organization. I do not like heresay but family tells me verbally that his marriage was to one Eliza Freeman of Freeman Waterholes naming. I nothing more of this family either. William Boyd had a daughter who was named Maud Gertrude Boyd. She in turn married one Walter Lambert James. My mother was one of their children, ( Melvie Irene James who married William Stoddart ). Since you last email I have not been able to find any more about Wiliam Boyd except to say that he and his brother Thomas were professional fisherman on Lake Macquarie and gained there income from this however I could not find out where he resided on Lake Macquarie.. I do believe that the Boyd brothers resided in Swanrea and there are three streets named for them I.e. Boyd, Thomas and William streets. Nonetheless, to all of the above I did not know what else I can find out for you and I sincerely hope that I have not put you on a roundabout like I am. If you are too busy to spend time on this would you please contact me. Warren Stoddart Mannering Park > > > > > > > > > >

All, I am attempting to carry out some researching on William Boyd of Swansea but to no avail. Can anyone assist in this matter. A simple starter will do. Thank you. Warren Stoddart Mannering Park

During my visit to Portland I found the book The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912, Volume II, 1912 but it did not have Volume I besides Volume II. But I did not have time to see if the Library had that copy or not. So can someone form the NW, on hte next visit to their Library see it has Volume I and if there are any Boyd families mentioned? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Now that Thanks Giving and “Mad” Friday shopping is over in the USA and North America, and while you are resting at home this weekend, might be a good time to tell the list what your Brick Walls are in regard to our Boyd family Branch. Where possible put in the Full name of the Boyd, their known spouse and their known children, along with dates and locations. Someone on the list might might be looking for this family, but have “yet” to post their family details. While others might have got back to a child, but does not know their siblings and parents. So post your family details and lets hope that hte list can give you a very nice Christmas present. Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS

Mike Boyd suggested we post our Brick Walls in our Boyd family search. Here is my submission (all of my Boyd ancestors were born in Antrim/Northern Ireland): John Boyd, my great-great grandfather, might have been born 1794 in and might have died 13 Aug 1867. He married Margaret, might have been born 1811 and might have died 13 Feb 1889. Their son, William Boyd, my great grandfather, was born 14 May 1834 and died 15 Jun 1900. He was a bleacher. He married Ann Jane (Crow) on 13 Feb 1858 in Belfast; she was born 10 Mar 1833 and died bef 1900. Their son, Thomas Boyd, my grandfather, was born 13 Oct 1863 and died 13 Apr 1933. He was a clerk. He married Margaret Jane (Ramsey) on 27 Oct 1898 in Belfast; she was born 12 Sep 1868 and died 21 Sep 1939. Both Thomas and Margaret are buried in Carnmoney Cemetery in Belfast. Their son, Clifford Boyd, my father, was born 16 Nov 1910 and died 19 Apr 1971. He emigrated to the United States in 1929, and became a U.S. citizen. Kenneth A. Boyd P.O.

Mike, I'm happy to provide a list of all Boyd Wills in the index on Scotland's People, including name variants. Indeed, I have already copied and pasted 500 of these into a Word document. There are a total of 2,117 Wills, so it may take me a couple of days. Shall forward it when I've completed it, if you like. Cheers, Lynne. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Boyd via Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2015 9:26 AM To: Mike Boyd ; boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BOYD] Scottish Wills The other question that I should have asked, is have members of the list "ALREADY" printed out any part of the Will's Index? If so, could you send me that page or pages as a attached document, so I can print it off. The second part of this task will be get a copy (full or what ever is available from these records). It would be best to send me a typed copy rather than the original hand writing. (I had some fun at PRONI in Belfast when I was copying their hand written Wills to understand some of the words.) I will keep these in a separate FILE, so it can be searched when there are queries on the Boyd net list. If members have already got a of a Scottish Will for their family member/s, it would be very good to turn that into a query for "Dean Road" - by saying whose Will it is, its date and description (location) and then under that reference name the parents and children listed in the Will. Just remember that there could be other children who have died previous to the Will being processed by the Court or it may even list grandchildren of a deceased child. The location of where the Will provider lived will be most important for fallow researchers, as their family might be an unknown part of your family or a second Boyd family from the same area. (That way you can exchange souces and data.) In the William Boyd Index that I copied the first six locations were: Edinburgh, (1709); Saltcoats, (1796); Largs, ( 1632); Parish of Culross, (1543); Parish of Kinglassie, ( 1550); Airth, (1751). So even in this short list, there is a unusual spread of locations for Boyds. If you already have a copy of a Scottish Will (or for any other Country), make a query and send it to the editor of Dean Road at Email editor@clanboyd.org Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Mike Boyd via Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2015 11:30 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Scottish Wills During my overseas trip this year, I was at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and the staff “got” me into the “Scotlandspeople” website to copy six Wills for William Boyd’s. These are on a Thumb stick – which I will have to get my eldest son to put onto my PC so I can print them out, so I can them process them for articles for Dean Road. But they did print out the two pages of the Index for these William Boyds which appears to be quite useful information, with some – for memory – going back to 1500’s.
