OMG, our Johnstons were very close to Andersons who came over from Ireland too - my grandmother was Florence Anderson - and my father's middle name was Aickens - close to Aiken.

Another Boyd source, who is now is dead, gave this sources as the origins of the above John Boyd. However, the document I got did not provide the primary sources he got this information form.

Nevin It is one of the Books that I will shortly ask the Ballycasle Library if they have. In 2005, when I was there, I went through his An Historical Account of the MACDONNELS Of Antrim: Including Notices of some other Septs, Irish and Scottish, Rev George Hill, 1873. It gave me the Will of an William Boyd of Dunluce. So I expect that I will spend an hour or so going through his "The Stewarts of Ballintoy". One of the Boyds, from either Portincross or Picton, wife married the Head of the Stewartsof Bute. So if it quite possible that some Boyds went there with her.

Mike, I just noticed a small populated area known as Boydstown on an old Irish Ordnance Survey Map, Sheet 33 (1832) in Caherty Townland, Ballyclug Parish, Ballymena PLU, County Antrim. I don't find this Boydstown on a modern map, but it was maybe less than a km west of Caherty, which is on the road from Roslin Hill to Broughshane. I suppose you might be able to find who leased property in this area if you visit PRONI in Belfast. If I can make a copy of this part of the map, I could e-mail it to you unless you've already discovered this settlement. By the way, by Ballymena, do you refer to the town or townland, the Poor Law Union (PLU) or the Local Government District (LGD)? My interest in the Boyd family stems from a DNA match of a current Boyd to a Bartley/Barclay family possibly from this area. Possibilities are adoption by a Boyd family or out-of-wedlock birth. David

Hi again Nevin and Mike, There are several mentions of BOYD in Rev Hill's book "The Stewarts of Ballintoy". I suspect that Mike would be very keen to read of their association with the Fullertons which is on page 13 of the book and of the Boyds of Carncoggy (Dervock) and Clare Park (Ballycastle). Some fragments of the lineage of both (in the 1700s) is given in that work.

I received a TON of response to my request for help in deciphering my 1733 medallion, and I want to thank all of you who took the time to help out. You went "above and beyond" and provided me with lots of history aside. I think a lot of people thought it was a great mystery to be solved and had fun while helping me at the same time. Many of you asked to be notified when an "answer" had been found. One person suggested that the words might not be Irish or Scottish at all--they might be Norwegian. And, in the end, that is exactly what it turned out to be. The words are in Norwegian........they say... Erindring af Dom 29 November. (Apparently in old Norwegian) KMM 1807 In Remembrance of 29 November.....HMM 1807 Hans Mathias Moller - my gr-grandmother's grandfather. Another great lister found this as well for me, After all of these years thinking the medallion was of Irish-Scot origin, I now believe that it is from my gr-grandmother's family (Moller =M) from Trondheim, Norway. Thru marriage, the Mollers and the Littles came on down the generations, from Norway and Canada........to me. You were all wonderful............many, many thanks for all of the effort you put into finding the answer to this puzzle.

Mike, Rev George Hill in his "The Stewarts of Ballintoy" estimates that the Stewarts of Bute arrived on the north Antrim coast as early as 1560. Is it likely that they might have been accompanied by some Boyd families? Regards Nevin

There are three able in this and I hope that the format is copied. 7/354 BOYD OF c1659 IRISH CENSUS This limited Boyd information is from the book A Census of Ireland, Circa 1659, With Supplementary Material from the Poll Money Ordinances (1660-1661), Ed. Seamus Pender, 1939. This book is concerned with the number of people in various sub-divisions within Counties in Ireland and at time it list various "important" people for these sub-divisions. So there are no lists of actual names and places as might occur in a modern census COUNTY OF ANTRIM BARONY OF ANTRIM Parishes Places No. of people Tituladoes Names English Irish Molylmey 459 James Adaire, gent. John Boyd gent. ..... 218 241 Total 1461 620 841 [This is not the full table as set out on page 4. Only the sections relating to the Boyds] Principal Irish Names & Scotch [and] Their Numb'. ....; Boyd, 7; .... [Most of the family names seemed to be Scottish. With McKye 11, O'Hara, Read and Taggard with 9 people being the larger family names] These 7 Boyd could be the entire family of John Boyd of Molylmey Parish. BARONY OF GLENARME This included the Parishes of Kilvowghter, Larne and Lays. There were no Boyds listed under the Tituladoes Names but under "Principal Irish Names and som Scotch [and] Their Numbs." it lists ....Boyd, 14; ... There is no indication as to which townlands or Parish these 14 people may have come from. From chapter 7/359, Boyds of Kilwaughter (which I assume is the modern spelling of Kilvowghter) there were graves as early as 1752. It is also known that Boyds were in Larne in the 1600's as well. So without more data, it is difficult to say where this number of Boyds may have been living. It could be a single Boyd family or several families. BARONYS OF DUNLUCE, CAREY & KILCONWAY Parishes Places No. of people Tituladoes Names English Irish The Iland of Rathry Ballymore 19 James Boyd gent. 4 15 Total 4078 1138 2940 Under "Principall Irish Names & their Number" ....; Boyd & O'Boyd, 20; .... "The Iland of Rathry", I assume is Rathlin Island off Ballycastle. When I looked at my Discoverer Series Sheet 5, Ballycastle, 1:50,000, I could not see any Ballymore. But opposite Church Quarter, Rathlin Island, on the east coast is a townland Ballynoe. So I am not sure if this is the Ballymore of 1659. The 20 I assume means the number of people with that name in the three Baronyes of Dunluce, Carey & Kilconway. Besides this James Boyd under the Heading of English is the number 4 and I assume that these are the remainder of this family. So does the remaining 16 mean family connected to those mentioned in William Boyd's Will in Dunluce or those other Boyd families near Dervock? (I am not sure if Dervock is covered by these three Baronys?) Towne and liberties of Carrikfergus Parishes Places No. of people Tituladoes Names English Irish Total 1311 831 480 Under "Principal Irish Names [and] Their Numb." it has Boyd, 5; ... This could be a single family or five individuals. (Ibid. p 79) If you have already made an connection to any of these named Boyd's, or your Boyd family came from any of these areas, I would like to hear form you please. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

I just joined this list. My own family came from Killarnery Co. Kerry in 1792 which I have been researching for some 27 years now - without much luck. But my interest in joining this list as my role as Chairman of the Historical Committee of the House of Boyd Society. I first went to County Antrim in March 2004, so I could organise an weeks study/research tour of County for House of Boyd Members. This was done in September 2005 (and I went onto Ayrshire afterwards) and I came home with 6 or 7 inches of material on about 200-300 Boyd families form both areas. I will lead another weeks tour to County Londonderry in September 2007. Then again in 2008 to another County in NI. I have about 380 Boyd families World wide of which some 20 so far come form County Antrim I will post these individually shortly. I am just in the process of organising a private trip to Ballycastle, Ballymena and Kilmarnock in March to find more Boyd families The first Boyd to Ireland was an John Boyd to Letterkenny, Co Donegal in 1590. We have no idea why he went to rather than Antrim. A Sir Robert Boyd was involved with the Plantation in County Tyrone in 1609 but it is not known when and where the first Boyds came to Antrim. I have found a John Boyd and his wife Jane Peebles/Peoples who were buried at Derrykeighan in 1615 and a Thomas Boyd who died at Dervock in 1634 and his wife Elizabeth Smeaton were in Dervock in 1615. While a William Boyd and his wife Catharine Mcgdmartine lived at Dunluce - I am currently assuming this was the townland of Dunluce which took in the Dunluce Castle. William left an Will in December 1624, so it is assumed he died shortly afterwards >From collecting America Boyd families it is known that Boyds came form Ballymoney, Ballymena and a number of the towns between Ballymena, Larne, Carrickfergus and Antrim City - besides Belfast. While many of these Boyd families were Presbyterian in Religion, some were Church of Ireland, Quaker and even some Roman Catholic. (I assume that I will find other religions when were get more details about some of these families.) My job is to try to find the known Boyd families so that a Clan Boyd Pyramid can be built; to find out when migration out of Ireland took place and for that matter into Ireland from Scotland; and to try to link these Antrim families to known Cadet Branches in Scotland - mainly Ayrshire. I have a very long way to go to know Irish (or northern Irish history) If you have Boyd members in your family tree - either male or female - I would like to hear form you please (I know will regret making this request, as I try to do work for my trip in March) In case you are not aware, we have our own:- - surname Net Group at BOYD@rootsweb.com - quarterly Newsletter called Dean Road (contact Kevin McLachlan - editor@clanboyd.org) - DNA Group - House of Boyd Society - the House of Boyd Society Website http://www.clanboyd.org - Historical Committee - family database So you may find a lost "cousin" whose went to America some years ago on the Net list.
