This is all very interesting. According to Wikipedia, John the first Baronet of Danson was the son of "Augustus Boyd (1679–1765), a northern Irish merchant who owned several sugar estates on the islands and later moved to London to set up trade links there with the plantations." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_John_Boyd,_1st_Baronet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danson_House "Originally called Danson Hill, the Palladian villa was designed ...for sugar merchant and vice-chairman of the British East India Company, Sir John Boyd, son of the St Kitts planter and slaveholder Augustus Boyd." Most gedcoms on Ancestry.com don't show this Augustus Boyd's parents, nor where he was born in Northern Ireland, but a few show him as John Augustus Boyd. His wife was Lucy Peters of St. Kitts. Some show his father as a John Boyd but no dates or locations for him (and no source for name of father) , but one gedcom showing him as John Augustus (born at London before 1702) cites Cokayne's Complete Peerage, volume V, page 184 (not searched). Another gedcom shows his father as Alexander Boyd (again no sources). I'm wondering if Mary Lockhart connects back to the Lockharts and Weirs of Lanarkshire. Two daughters of Alexander Lockhart, son of George Lockhart 2nd of Carnwath & Lady Euphemia Montgomery, married Boyds. They were: Rebecca Lockhart m. 15 Sep 1749, James, Lord BOYD (1726-1778) while her sister Anne LOCKHART m.

I do not believe there is any Scottish connection with this family. Augustus was French Hugenot exiled to Ireland. The Wiki entries on this family are purposly misleading. He got his start as a pirate with letters of Marquis. Also, I was wrong before. These brothers were the grandsons of Augustus by John the second Baronet. They owned several of the British west Indies Islands. Their major estate was on St. Kits where the mansion still stands, in the town of Boyds. The great house is now a restaurant/hotel and will be detailed in my book about "the Houses of Boyd". Today it is called the Fairview Great House It was a massive spread, you can see it from space: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Boyd's,+St+Kitts+and+Nevis/@17.3012426,-62.7711739,481m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x8c121c13c377685d:0xc8e9874c3c1426e1 John Boyd first baronet was, for a time, considered the richest man alive. Abolition brought about his downfall. Any well researched book about the British west Indies slave trade will have at least one chapter on these Boyds. I will refrain from divulging all that I know about these guys as it isn't very pleasant. I have never been able to prove, but I do believe, they are related to the Boyds of Mecklenberg/Lunenburg. I will let these family members respond with more if they wish.

Hi Barry, The more emails I read on this subject the more I become confused over the issue. Much earlier on when I began tracing my Boyds, ( and William in particular as he is my great grandfather ), I was happy to think that what I was told was correct i.e. That William and brother Thomas migrated Australia and finally settled in Swansea, and incidentally they have three streets named for them in Swansea. i.e. Boyd, William and Thomas streets . Based on what I have read in various in emails from various sources this info has now put me in a complete dilemma, unless of course I am misreading some of these emails ref to ttrhesehese two Boyds. Incidentally my connection is this; My grandmother was born to William Boyd of Swansea NSW. ( William had a daughter named Maud Gertrude who was my grandmother ). Also I do not know who William Boyd married, I have no been able to find any info on this ??? I am just hoping that what you know about these two Boyds is in confirmation to what I have written here. Do you think that all of the underwritten is correct or could they have the wrong family ?? I am at the point if wether or not I go researching that which I have or do stop at this point ?

Sirs and madams, I wish to thank all of those who have replied to my email ref William and Thomas Boyd of Swansea NSW Australia however, I do not have a specific answer to my queries on these two brothers therefore I am assumimg that nobody find the answer. I was simply enquiring and hoping that I may be able to find out more about one of the brothers in particular and that is William who was my great grandfather. All that I received is all interesting and goes well into the background of the Boyds and this showed me much more that I knew bedfore but as stated I received nothing on my queston as to when these two brothers i.e. William and Thomas Boyd arrived in Australia and from where and when if known. I have not been able to find the answer to this question myself as yet and so I was hoping that someone could assist. Regards to all.
