For a number of years now I have seen references to two Sir Thomas Boyd’s – one of Bedley, Dunbartonshire and the second of Bonshaw, Ayrshire. I am not sure if there is actually one or two people by that name. The Sir Thomas Boyd of Bedley is the second son of the 6th Lord Boyd. He appears to have married in about 1603 Grizel Cunningham, daughter of Jean Blair, Lady Montgrenan and both seemed to be living in 1634. He is the Sir Thomas Boyd who was an undertaker near Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland as part of the Irish plantation. In about 1610 he is listed as being there with his wife and family (but no details) and in 1613 he has sold his Estate of 1,500 acres to his brother-in-law, James Hamilton, the Earl of Abercorn. I am not sure what happened to him when he returned to Scotland. Thank you for any information Mike Boyd Hitorical Committee, HBS
