Anne My understanding is that Hugh Boyd's family came from Mount Edwards, Cushendell (about 1 km south of Cushendell). So if his wife, Margaret Rowan, was the sister of the Minister, it may explain why his family is buried in Clough and not Cushendell. >From your data it would seem that Captain Hugh had two sons called Samuel One born in 1718 and the second in 1720.

I believe Margaret Rowan was the sister to Rev. Rowan of Clough Church. His account book is at PRONI. Someplace I have a link to a tree for Rev. Rowan but can't find it at the moment.

I find the tombstone very hard to figure out who is a son of whom. But I think you are correct.
