This will most definitely help me with a foundation on learning more. The belief is this Boyd family came from Scotland to this exact area as early as 1608, the Scotland and Ulster origin coincides heavily and accurately with Y DNA knowledge. From my understanding, Balleywindlenad is quite the unpopulated farming area and there was a farm that this particular Boyd family kept there that somehow closely relates to my line for roughly 200 years there up until just a few decades ago… > > Sincerely, > > Laury > > >> On Dec 9, 2015, at 2:21 PM, Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> wrote: >> >> Sorry - hit send instead of paste. >> >> V4 Samuel Boyd, b / /1782 ( , Ireland?), d 8/8/1862 ( , Ireland?), bu , m / /181x (church, town, county, etc), Jane/Jean Crilly, dau of and (nee ) Crilly, b / /1785 ( ), d 30/6/1865 ( ), bu , and had issue:- >> [Lived: ] >> >> - In 1817 a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church, Ballymoney.
