Hi all Genealogical Chart of the Burnside Family, PRONI document, 1910. In 2015, when I was at PRONI, I copied the above document, but my copy does not have any reference number on it. This Burnside tree was done in January 1910, by John Keers. It starts with an “James Burnside, of Macfin, d 1739, m Elizabeth McAfee”. And goes onto say “James Burnside had a brother David who lived at New Londonderry, [NH?], and was drowned in the Delaware River in 1761 or 1762. He was married, but had no family. A widowed sister joined him in America, who was afterwards married to a man named Paul. She died in 1785.” [Mike Boyd’s note – it does not say when she joined her brother David Burnside in America. Perhaps Colin Brooks of the 1718 Project, might know if she migrated in 1718 or not? And was the name she married, surname Paul or was it his Christian name. And did they have any descendants?] James and Elizabeth, had five children – Samuel (1729 – 1805); Thomas (1735 – 1798); David; Elizabeth; Jane. Under the first child it has – “Samuel Burnside (1729 – 1805) m. Sarah Bingham, daughter of Mary McGregor, and granddaughter of Alexander McGregor, of Maynock, Co. Derry.” Then as a footnote it says that “Sarah Bingham grandfather Alexander McGregor, was a brother to the Rev James McGregor, Minister of Aghadoey [Aghadowey] from 1701 to 1718, when he emigrants to New Hampshire with from 600 to 800 of his congregation and neighbours, ….” It would appear that this branch of the Burnsides remained in Ireland. As two of his daughters – of his 11 children - married two Boyd brothers from Knockans – assume the townland near Finvoy, County Antrim and outlines a further three generations. Under the second child it has – “Thomas Burnside (1735 – 1798) m. 1762, Susannah McGregor (1742 – 1817), daughter of Alexander McGregor, and granddaughter of Rev. James McGregor, New Londonderry, N. H. Both buried in Northumberland. [PA?]” It then provides the names of 10 children and dates of birth and deaths – but no locations - and outline of next generation, but no names of the children, but two of the families lived in Ontario, Canada. But there is no indication when this Thomas Burnside went to America – assume before 1762? While a second chart that I copied was titled “Genealogical Chart of the Boyd Family”, by John Keers, 1910. (And I assume is part of the same ref. Number as the Burnside Chart.) This shows the two Burnside daughters marrying two of the four known children of David Boyd (1746 – 1821) and Mary Gardiner, of Ballymagarrey, 1761 – 1798). It would appear that David’s father was Saunders Boyd and his father was William Boyd. And it says “There is a tradition in the family that William Boyd came from Kilmarnock to take part in the defence of the Siege of Derry, his home being at Boyd’s mountain (or Boyd’s gap) in Co., Derry, and he was the last man killed in that memorable defence.” Can any of these “statements” or “facts”, now be proved about this family of William Boyd of Boyd’s Mountain (which is on the road from Limavady and Aghadowey) and him being the last person to be killed in the Siege of Londonderry City? I hope that this limited reference, will allow you to find this Burnside family in PRONI? Thank you for your assistance Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.
