Barry and list Some of these locations I know which I will indicate as I go through this list. However it is the list of references under the Notes that we need to get access to. So what are - "bk 23 vol 9", etc (and where can we find these?) 1. James Boid of Balwhatstone- Where was this? My first thought that this was a different spelling for Bolingshaw or Bonshaw. But now looking a second time, this does not look the case, so it is a new Cadet Branch. 2. John Boyd of Trochrig- this is odd to me. This is the third Laird of Trochrig. The junior family of the Boyds of Penkill. This John Boyd is THOUGHT TO BE BORN in 1612, as his son Robert Boyd was born in about 1633. Oh second thoughts. This John Boyd, if born in 1650, could be a younger brother to the fourth Laird of Trochrig, Robert Boyd, as the publications on this family only list those that succeed and not all the children of each of the early generations. I will send this and begin a new Email after the doctors Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Barry Boyd Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 1:22 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com ; Mike Boyd Subject: Re: [BOYD] Fw: Boyd Covenanter in Scotland about 1655 Wow! Mike, This is a Great list. Where to start? I guess we should identify all of the ones we can. I will start by noticing that there are no Boyd of Airth on this list which fits since those who we think are their descendants were all Anglican. So, here is a list of known Presbetyrians, in Scotland prior to 1700. Chronologically by approximation of birth 1650 James Boid of Balwhatstone- Where was this? John Boyd of Trochrig- this is odd to me. John Boyd of Edinburgh, Midlothian. can we eliminate that these are the same John? John Boyd of Glasgow, Lanark- there are two Boyds of Lanark on this list John and William

Balwhatstone was in Stirlingshire. Not sure these links will work for you, but I'll try. If they don't work, try copying and pasting them. Publications of the Scottish History Society, vol. 49 (1904), contains the Commissariot of Stirling, with 11 references to Balwhatstone in Slamannan Parish or St. Laurence (none mentioning Boyd). Several other Boyd references, though.
