    1. [CLANBOYD] The known families of Captain Adam Boyd - Pt 2
    2. Mike Boyd
    3. The fourth version of this Captain Adam Boyd family was supplied to me in about 2003 from Susan Gillim of USA Email [email protected] The short version of this tree is - O1 Capt Adam Boyd, bc 1616-1636, unknown location, died ??? and married before 1656. [This data would make this John Boyd the second known son of Captain Adam Boyd, son some 7 years after his father’s was said to be killed in 1649.] P1 John Boyd, born 1656, in Ireland (?), married in 1686, to Miss Moore, dau of James Moore, Sr., of Ireland. [However, I have never seen which Moore family in Ireland that this James Moore, Sr. from. There are Moore’s buried in the Church of Ireland at Derrykeighan, County Antrim, but at this time I have no idea if this Mr Moore s Q1 Samuel Boyd, b 1689 (assume Ireland), died 1770, think in PA, married 1720 (assume Ireland?), Margaret Campbell, dau of unknown. R1 Mary Elizabeth Boyd born 1721 (assume Ireland), married late 1730’s, William Moore, Sr., son of Andrew and Margaret (nee Wilson) Moore, born 1710 and died 1798. [Not sur eif this family came to USA or not.] Children - S1 William Moore, Jr., born 1736, place unknown, died 1791, place unknonwn, m about 1750’s Mary Drake; [Their second child married William Montgomery – not sure which branch of the Montgomeries.] S2 Elizabeth Moore, born unknown; S3 Andrew Moore, born unknown; S4 Samuel Moore, born unknown, 1740’s? S5 Margaret Moore, born unknown, 1740’s? S6 Mary Moore, born unknown, 1740’s? R2 Samuel Boyd, born 1721 not known when he died or if he married R3 Margaret Boyd, born 1727 not known. 1994 IGI for the UK, said born about 1727 at “Calead, County Antrim, Ireland” - This is thought to be a townland SE of Antrim town. S4 William Boyd, b 1729, place unknown in Ireland. Not sure when he died or if he married? S5 John Boyd, born 1731 in County Antrim, Ireland), died 1799 in Lancaster County, PA, married 1752, PA, Agnes Cooper, daughter of John and Alice (nee Gill) Cooper of Baltimore, MD., (born 1736 died 1805. It would also appear that this John Boyd – from the 1994 IGI – was also born in Calead, County Antrim. Part of this family moved to Perry County (but some may have also some “South” as well.) From the List of Boyd in the 1790 Census for PA we have these in Lancaster Co., PA BOYD, Alexander PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Martick BOYD, Charles PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Lancaster Borough BOYD, James PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Martick BOYD, James PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Salisbury BOYD, John PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Dunmore BOYD, John PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Martick BOYD, John PA Co:Lancaster Twp: May Town BOYD, John PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Salisbury BOYD, Samuel PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Dunmore BOYD, Samuel PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Lancaster Borough BOYD, William PA Co:Lancaster Twp: Salisbury And it “would” appear that John’s family [S5] became the Dunmore Boyd of Lancaster County, PA, thus allowing to trace your own family back to this branch. [As outlined in Chapter 6/302 and perhaps Chapter 4/248?]
