Colin and all I do not recall any Boyd Arms with “stags”. My first thought was that he might have been part of the Boyds of Hitcham Grange, Suffolk, England (ch 5/275) but Burke’s give their Arms as. Az., a fess indented chequy arg. and gu. between two lozenges of the second. Crest - In front of a dexter hand couped at the wrist, the first and second fingers extended upwards ppr., three lozenges az, Motto - Confido. If I recall, Burke’s normally gives a print of the Arms, so can you find a Burkes Landed Gentry near you? – yes, Burke's The Landed Gentry, 1914 Ed., pt 1 A-K, p 121? This family is trace back to John Boyd of Hope House, Northumberland, England, who father was a William Boyd – most likely born about 1620’s or 1630’s Q1 John Boyd, b / /1672 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , m / /169x ( , ), Jane Hudson, dau of and (nee ) Hudson, b 16xx ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: of Hope House, Northumberland, England] Part of this family lived in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. This is where the first Lord Robert Boyd fled in 1469, so these Boyd might stem from him While another section, is listed at Stepney, London. This is where a Boyd family married into a French Huguenot family and were involved in the Silk weaving business in east London. This silk weaving family – we think came Airth Stirling form the older brother of George Boyd of compass, PA.

Old and worn unfortunately, so the request still stands. However, it appears to be two stags standing which I do see with any Boyd seals. Mike, take a look and see if anything triggers the memory.
