Lyn I was just about to start too write privately to you when I realized that the marriage of David Magill and Anna Kealy took place in the home of "A" David Boyd in Randolph Co., ILL. A Boyd family of Randolph Co., ILL, sounds familiar to me but I could not find it amongst the 730 Boyd family chapters that I have, so I will send it to the Boyd net list to see if any of the members of this list might be able to help you and know this David Boyd of Randolph Co., ILL.

I am looking for a marriage of a David Rainey and Jane Boyd either in County Antrim or Down. All I have is my direct ancestor Robert Rainey born 1807 Parish of Connor, Antrim, Northern Ireland (this is only what was on a Scottish 1861.) Parents names were taken off his Scottish death certificate. It is possible that there may have been earlier children. I don't know when they died.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the Raineys. I don't know if this is the same David Boyd referred to, but this David Brown Boyd lived in Sparta, Randolph County, Illinois in the 1860s: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=katheetyson&id=I00722&style=TABLE He moved there from Newberry Dist., S.C., and his father Thomas Samuel Boyd was born in Ballymena, Antrim, N. Ireland, the son of John Boyd and Susan Nealy according to this: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=katheetyson&id=I00722 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=Search&includedb=&lang=en&ti=&surname=Boyd&stype=Exact&given=David&bplace=Randolph%2C+IL&byear=&brange=0&dplace=&dyear=&drange=0&mplace=&myear=&mrange=0&father=&mother=&spouse=&skipdb=&period=All&submit.x=Search David Magill who married Anna Kealy in 1863: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=earllyn72&id=I19745 I'm wondering if he could be related to David Boyd Magill from Antrim who lived in Chester Co., S.C.: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tedmarr&id=I16504 and traced back to John Boyd and Janet Logan: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=tedmarr&id=I16504&style=TEXT But the only David Magill that I find among nephews of this David Boyd Magill (whose mother was Sarah Boyd) apparently died in Antrim: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tedmarr&id=I16466 This David Boyd Magill had a son James Robert Magill who married my great-great-grandmother's first cousin Jane Baxter Fraser, supposed to descend from "the true Lord Lovat," so these are the Magills that I always associate with Boyds in my mind. Another Boyd family in Sparta, Randolph Co., Ill. was a branch of my Boyds from Knockavaddy, Dungannon, N. Ireland. An ancestral uncle of mine was William Boyd with wife Margaret Lyons who moved from Tyrone, N. Ireland, to South Carolina. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lawrence2000&id=I1464 Their sons Samuel and William lived in Randolph Co., IL. with their sister Jane Boyd who married Robert Weir (Wier). Another son, John, was probably the father of Col. Joseph T. Boyd of Lawrence Co. and/or Beaver Co., Pennsylvania. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:44:24 +1000 > Subject: Re: [BOYD] [IRL-ANTRIM] RAINEY AND BOYD FAMILY of Ahoghill, Co Antrim > > Lyn > I was just about to start too write privately to you when I realized that > the marriage of David Magill and Anna Kealy took place in the home of "A" > David Boyd in Randolph Co., ILL. > > A Boyd family of Randolph Co., ILL, sounds familiar to me but I could not > find it amongst the 730 Boyd family chapters that I have, so I will send it > to the Boyd net list to see if any of the members of this list might be able > to help you and know this David Boyd of Randolph Co., ILL. > > Good hunting > > Mike Boyd > Historical Committee, HBS > > -----Original Message----- > From: Lyn > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 3:54 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IRL-ANTRIM] RAINEY AND BOYD FAMILY > > Hi, > I'm interested in your Rainey connection.
