>From the book Boyd family, by Arthur S. Boyd, jr. 1924, it mentions this William Boyd who was born in the 1720’s to James Boyd and Mary/Margaret Whitten Tradition says that William was a Captain, that he was wounded, and that after the War he settled in or near Wiscasset, Me., and was ancestor of all the Boyds through that section, Wiscasset, Bristol, Boothbay, etc., but I have no definite record further, although there is a Wiscasset family of Boyds descended from a William Boyd.” I also noticed that the author included “BOOTHBAY, MAINE” in this list of locations that this family might be found in Maine. I have outlined separate information that three brother came to Boothbay in about 1750 from the townland of Bushfoot which is on the west bank of the Bush River and about a km or two down stream toward the coast from Bushmills in northern County Antrim. Two of these brothers also seem to have settled in Bristol Maine. So HAS THE AUTHOR CONFUSED THESE TWO FAMILIES of Berwick and Boothbay, Maine OR DOE SIT MEAN THAT TH THREE BROTHERS THAT CAME IN 1720’S MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GENERATION OR TWO EARLIER of this family from Bushfoot, Bushmills. For our golfing friends, Bushfoot is now a golf course. So do any of list have any connection to Wiscasset, Bristol, Boothbay, Maine and can you link back to this William Boyd?
