The known families of Captain Adam Boyd. The first version of this family that I saw in the mid 1990’s was - O1 Adam Boyd (I) - captain in the army sent by Charles I (reign 1625-1649) to Ireland. P1 Rev. Adam Boyd (II) Q1 Rev Adam Boyd (III) - b. 1666, Presby. clergyman, married Mary Norton, dau of Mr Norton, b 16xx, d 17xx, and had issue:- Children: R1 John Boyd R2 Rev. Adam Boyd (IV) Over the years I was sent various other bits of information for this family, which I will add to this as a Second Version. O1 Adam Boyd (I) - captain in the army sent by Charles I (reign 1625-1649) to Ireland. [Born 1623 – died/killed 1649 in Ireland] P1 Rev. Adam Boyd (II) [born 1650 – died ???] P2 John Boyd, [born 1656 – died ???] Q1 Rev Adam Boyd (III) - b. 1666, Presby. clergyman, married Mary Norton, dau of Mr Norton, b 16xx, d 17xx, and had issue:- Children: R1 John Boyd, born 1690 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died in 1750 Bucks County, PA and married in 1715, in Philadelphia (?), PA (most likely the Presbyterian Church, to Jane Craig, dau of Thomas Craig, who established the Irish settlement in Bucks County, PA in 1729. R2 Rev. Adam Boyd (IV), born 1692 in Ballymoney, County Antrim, died in 1768 in Parkesburg, Chester County, PA and buried at United Congregation of Upper Octorara, Chester Co., PA. He married on 23 October 1725, Jane Creaghead/Craighead, dau of Rev Thomas and Margaret (nee Wallace) Creaghead, of White Clay, PA., and had 11 children. So, of the people posting about this family say (incorrectly) that Captain Adam Boyd was the son of Bishop Andrew Boyd, the natural son of the 5th Lord Boyd. Bishop Andrew Boyd’s son Adam was born in 1599 and not in 1623. Nor can it be proved, at this time, that Captain Adam Boyd was the grandson of Bishop Andrew Boyd. Nor, have I seen any reference to what Regiment he was with in 1649 when he was killed – said to be in Ireland! And if I understand Irish history of this period, the Cromwell forces were fighting the Irish – both Catholic and Protestant. While I have found Rev Adam Boyd, IV, in the Irish FASTI for Coleraine in about 1623, I could not see any entries for his father or grandfather in either the FASTI for Ireland or Scotland, so I am unsure if they were Church of England Ministers and not Presbyterian Ministers as Rev Adam Boyd, IV was.
