My Boyd line goes via John Boyd from the Poyntzpass area of Armagh to the Hamilton-Dundas area of Canada and then to Troy, New York.

John It is good that youhave re-joined the list. There is a second Boyd family for Poyntzpass that I am aware of:- T1? Joseph Boyd, b / /173x ( , Ireland?), d / /18xx ( ), bu , m / /176x (church, town, county, etc), Elizabeth McClelland, dau of and (nee ) McCelland, b / /174x ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - (Source: (1) Michael Anderson & Larry Boyd, Anderson/Boyd Research., (2) Glin Bennet, Bristol England, Glin Bennet Files.) was born Bet. 1730 - 1745 in Dervock, Co. Antrim? /Poyntzpass, Co. Armagh? /Co. Monaghan?. He married ELIZABETH MCCLELLAND (Source: (1) Michael Anderson & Larry Boyd, Anderson/Boyd Research., (2) Glin Bennet, Bristol England, Glin Bennet Files.), daughter of FATHER OF ELIZABETH MCCLELLAND. She was born Bet. 1735 - 1750 in County Derry. "Notes for JOSEPH BOYD: According to the family genealogy provided by Glin Bennet, the BOYDS were of Scottish descent who settled in the town of Dervock more than two hundred years ago. Dervock is near the Giant's Causeway on the north coast of County Antrim. Some of the Boyds remained until the year 1875 when (according to the Bennet genealogy) the remaining Boyds left for Killarney, Warwick Lakes, Queensland, Australia. "It is not clear whether Joseph Boyd was born or ever lived in Dervock and if so whether he stayed. However, we know that Joseph married Elizabeth MCCLELLAND and according to the Bennet family history, Elizabeth came from County Derry, where Dervock is located*. So, Joseph could have lived in Dervock. However, we also know that Elizabeth's brother, Dr. McClelland, married a sister of Lord Blanney of Castle Blanney, County Monaghan. So, it is possible that Joseph and Elizabeth lived, at least for a time, somewhere in County Monaghan. We also know that William, one of Joseph's sons, wound up in Poyntzpass and that William inherited the McClelland wealth. We do not know if the brothers, Samuel, Edward, and Joseph, and the sisters, Rebecca, Nancy, and Elizabeth, lived in Dervock, left Dervock, lived in County Monaghan, or whether they ever settled in the Poyntpass area." * Dervock is actually located in County Antrim. This Joseph Boyd started having his children in the 1760's so does not appear to be linked to your John Boyd born about 1751. Last year when I was in County Down, I did go to Poyntzpass and to Tandragee (but it was raining, so I could not walk the Cemeteries) before I went to Library at Armagh City. There I found that a Mr Boyd had land in Armagh City in 1618. However, I do not know if he had any family or not or his origins before 1618. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Carey" <johnca@quickclic.net> To: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>; <boyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 11:34 PM Subject: Re: [BOYD] Mossom Boyd - Canada > Actually, I re-subscribed to the list after making this post so if anyone > wishes to reply you could do it via the list. > > My Boyd line goes via John Boyd from the Poyntzpass area of Armagh to the > Hamilton-Dundas area of Canada and then to Troy, New York. > > John Carey >
