Good morning all In my previous message about what is known n the family of Samuel Boyd, whom it is said to have married a second time to Lady Jane Gurney, in Ireland – I have made the suggestion that as it appears that their children have migrated to the USA, and that as the Tithe Tax List of 1820’s still showed Boyds at Knockavaddy and the Parish, it is likely that Samuel had a family be his unknown first wife This is an list of those Boyds in the Parish of Desertcreat. THE BOYD NAME IN COUNTY TYRONE TITHES SURNAME C. NAME TOWNLAND PARISH Boyd Wm. Moree Desertcreat Boyd Thos. Drumballihugh Desertcreat Boyd Wm. Sessagh Scott Desertcreat Boyd Edwd. Tullilagan Desertcreat Boyd Jno. Annaghavill Desertcreat Boyd Edwd Tolvins Desertcreat Boyd Wm. Knockavaddy's Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Sen. Knockavaddy's Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Waterard Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Warerard Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Jun. Knockavaddy's Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Jun. Sessagh Scott Desertcreat Boyd James Allen Desertcreat Boyd Jas. Sen. Monegaragh Desertcreat Boyd Thomas Allen Desertcreat Boyd Willm Monegaragh Desertcreat So, the first question is could the three Knockavaddy entries be either the children of Samuel’s first marriage or his grandchildren? And how many of these 16 Boyd entries for the Parish of Desertcreat, could be related to the Boyd whom in 1690 built the Boyd house. (It is my understanding that a Boyd family lived in this house until a few decades ago.) And finally, has anyone been able to “trace” any of these 16 entries back in time? And where do they connect? And is there any links to the “first” family of this Samuel Boyd (1718 – 1804). Thank you for your assistance in expanding these entries Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust. [CB18078.doc]
