In a paper that I found at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania on Philadelphia I found this reference “William Boyd, b in Ballumenaugh, Antrim Ire. Appointed 24 Jun. 1776. Taken prisoner 24 July 1776, Parolled, 6 Aug. 1776. On roll of Capt Sam’l Hoge’s Co. 6th PA Bat. (PA Archives 2nd series vol. 10, p 181.” There is no other information on this William Boyd’s family. I would be grateful if the Antrim list could give me directions to where Ballyumrnaugh townland might be from a town – direction and miles? Thank you Mike Boyd

It's probably just a phonetic spelling of Ballymena. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:23:47 +1000 > Subject: [BOYD] William Boyd born in Ballumenaugh, County Antrim Ireland > > In a paper that I found at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania on Philadelphia I found this reference > > “William Boyd, b in Ballumenaugh, Antrim Ire.

Mike: I went to the library and looked up this information. It is not on page 181, but on page 174. The Captain is Samuel Hay not Hoge. I assume I can't attach a scan of the pages so I am pasting excerpts. I included a sergeant Foster because he is from the same town in Antrim as William Boyd. I found another William Boyd as corporal with no home listed and a private Abram Boyd also of county Antrim. Nancy Neuman Pennsylvania Archives Second Series Vol. 10 pages 174-175 Page 174 Sixth Pennsylvania Battalion Col. William Irvine Roll of Captain Samuel Hay's Company Total strength of company, officers and privates, ninety-one Hay, Samuel, commissioned January 9, 1776; promoted major Seventh Penn'a 1777. Sergeants Foster, John, born in Ballimenagh, county Antrim, Ireland ; appointed February 1, 1776 ; taken at Three Rivers, June 8, 1776; paroled August 9, 1776. Boyd, William, born in Ballimenagh, county Antrim, 1reland; appointed June 24, 1776; taken prisoner July 24, 1776; paroled August 9, 1776 Corporals Page 175 Boyd, William, appointed January 23, 1776; promoted June 24, 1776 Privates Boyd, Abram, born in Glenaron, county Antrim, Ireland; enlisted February 2, 1776; taken June 8, 1776.
