I'm a descendant of Rebecca Boyd McKaughan. My g-g-grandfather, Joab Brooks, gave sworn testimony in 1874 to her origins. (She was his g-grandmother.) Do you have official birth records for Rebecca? Or do you know anything specific about her father and her heritage other than what is available on Ancestry? I see that you have death dates for Rebecca's parents of "after 1711," which apparently indicates a birth date for Rebecca of 1711. Do you have documentation of this? Thanks much.

Can someone who is on the gateway site pass this onto Linda please? A) Can you post the whole of Joab Brooks statement about Rebecca Boyd McKaughan. (and hopefully he has included locations of town or village for the dates) B) In 1711 or 1716 there is no Official Statements of birth or birth certificates. Only Bibles or some Church records. C) I have some 70 County Antrim families chapters, some of whom go back to the the early 1700's so might be able to find a linkage. D) Could you provide your Email address so people can reply to you please Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 1:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] Rebecca Boyd, born County Antrim, Ireland, 1716 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
