>From the "Prerogatory Wills of Ireland 1510-1856" indexed at UHF, the occupation of William Boyd of Dunluce is that of a "gentleman", with a probate date of 1628. This lends credence to his being found among the most successful and well-educated families of distinction. His position would be consistent with that of the landed gentry, living entirely from rental income. He also named in his will Andrew Moneypenny, Archdeacon of Connor and William Fenton, minister of Cairn castle; Sir Wm. Kennedy was to receive Boyd's best sword and John Wallace his fowling piece. Lee Ramsey William had a number of Lands, seems to have been a "merchant" at Dunluce. So could he have been a merchant working [or friend of] for the Earl of Antrim and over time bought some lands from him? Mike Boyd May I suggest that Catherine Mcgdmartine is actually a MARTIN. Martin family is in Dunluce in 1624 and 1622 in Coleraine. Very small family based on census records but specifically located in exact same spots as Boyd families in northern Ireland going back to near Plantation times.
