Thompson was a name that was "common" in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. So some of those Thompson's might have gone to County Antrim and been linked to this family.

Boyd and Jane White of Co. antrim > + THOMPSON, McHATTON, MULLEN Mike: I think that there was probably some tie of kinship between Daniel & Jane (White) Boyd of Andover, Allegany County, New York and my great-great-grandmother, Mary (Boyd) (Thompson) (McHatton) Mullen of Greenwood, Steuben County, New York. Although the towns of Andover and Greenwood lie in different counties, they border each other. More importantly, my grandfather (Mary's grandson) recalled that Mary's descendants frequently socialized with Daniel's descendants. For more information on the elusive and many-times-married Mary which includes some information on Daniel Boyd and his family, please see... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~streeter/thompson.pdf Thanks again for your past help in attempting to identify Mary's origins. If anyone ever identifies Daniel's specific origins that may yield "new" information towards identifying Mary's. Mary's branch on the family tree is the shortest and sparsest. Please tell me more about "the Boyd family that went to Abbeville County, SC before 1777."

Boyd and Jane White of Co. antrim To: [email protected]> Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Recently I was given a Boyd family of County Antrim that started with Daniel A. BOYD b. 23 Feb 1799, County Antrim, N. Ireland d. 18 May 1878, Andover, Allegany, New York ado. & Jane WHITE b. 27 Jan 1801, County Antrim, N. Ireland d. 18 Feb 1881, Andover, Allegany, New York ado. m. Daniel BOYD b. 12 Aug 1844, County Antrim, N. Ireland d. 8 Jan 1894, Andover, Allegany, NY ado. & Jennie Clisdell WHITE b. 4 Aug 1849, South Howard, Steuben, New York d. 8 Jan 1900, Andover, Allegany Co, NY ado. m. 8 Oct 1868, NY There was no location within County Antrim given or know for this family. Do any members know of this Boyd and White family? I would also assume that Daniel Boyd, the son, from his date of birth, was the younger half of this family. This families DNA matches a Boyd family that went to Abbeville County, SC before 1777. Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.
