Hang on, we Scots like our Oats!! Some even have sown their wild Oats, while others drink it.

Second, when I googled 1718 Project, this link came up: http://scotchirishfood.blogspot.com/. Loved it! I thought I'd (re?)share a bit of her "Why did the Scots move to Maine? Because they couldn't grow oats anymore" research: http://scotchirishfood.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-does-scot-do-when-they-cant-grow.html. Great stuff.

Martha Clow (1894-1990) was the wife of Donald Boynton Douglas, vice-president of the Quaker Oats company, in Chicago. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=26045067 She was the daughter of William Ellsworth Clow, who was the son of Matilda Ross Clow, the daughter of Mary S. Boyd Ross, the daughter of Col. Joseph T. Boyd "of Mercer Co, PA.," the son of John Boyd and Jane Holand from County Armagh, N. Ireland, the son of William Boyd and Margaret Lyons from Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, N. Ireland, who landed at Charleston, S.C., Oct. 31, 1804 on the ship "Lady Washington" from Belfast, N. Ireland. Martha Clow's great-grandmother Mary Boyd Ross wrote many letters to her Boyd, Hamilton and Wier cousins in the 1870s-90s attempting to document the Boyd family history. Her grandson Harry Beach Clow was president of the Rand McNally company. I hope one day to find that some of the Clow family have preserved the correspondence that Mary Boyd Ross received from other Boyd descendants. The letters from her that survive in other collections are tantalizing and helpful in many respects but give a fragmentary picture of this Boyd family. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 08:49:14 +1000 > Subject: Re: [BOYD] Boyd migration from "New England" after 1722 Indian uprising to NY/PA? > > Hang on, we Scots like our Oats!! > > Some even have sown their wild Oats, while others drink it. > > Mike Boyd > Brisbane, Aust. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rommy Lopat > Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 5:55 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [BOYD] Boyd migration from "New England" after 1722 Indian > uprising to NY/PA? > > Second, when I googled 1718 Project, this link came up: > http://scotchirishfood.blogspot.com/.
