Thank you Barry This family of Danson Hill, is part of an French Huguenot family from La Rochelle, France who were involved with sugar refining in the 1600's. They (some of the children) then went to Charleston, SC in about 1685 and were give grants of land and took place in SC Government of this period In the early 1700's the family moved to Dublin Ireland before moving to London, England. Professor David Hancock in an earlier book, when he was at Harvard University, said incorrectly that the Danson Hill Family came form the first Earl of Kilmarnock, William Boyd, son Alexander Boyd. However that is incorrect, and it is more likely that this family is a branch of the Boyds of Portincross, Ayrshire.

Augustus and family were in the island when John was born in 1718, returning to London in 1734/5. The Baronet is said to have been the only child but there may have been slaves, workers, managers etc. who took his surname. http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=49745&back= Mike Boyd wrote: > While it is known that some Boyds came to South Carolina from Barbados > (and it is assumed from other West Indies Island), it is not know what > these other Island were? > > > > > ==================== > House of Boyd will be present in the Clan Village at the 700th Anniversary > Celebration of the Battle of Bannockburn, June 2014.
