Hi Mike If you google "capt hugh boyd antrim" you will see a link to innishowen. It's a transcript from "300 years in innishowen" by Amy Young that was posted at rootsweb in 2001. In the writeup, there is mention of Capt Hugh Boyd and his wife Margt Rowan (conflicting b. & d. dates, of course). But, it does say that the inscription at the chancel of the church lists several sons and daughters, though they are not listed in this transcript. Also that a family in Dublin has a portrait of Capt Hugh. Also that Hugh was the son of William of Clontifinan. Hope that's progress for you Rick Hutton ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6 -------Original Message------- From: Mike Boyd Date: 2/13/2010 7:17:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] Captain Hugh Boyd (died 1731) and Margaret Rowan -both buried old Dunaghy graveyard, Clough In the book The Story of St. Patrick's Church, Coleraine, Its History, Heraldry, Sculptured Stones, Stained Glass, Old Families and Alliances, Architecture and Traditions, Sam Henry, about 1941, pait has:- "Other Boyds (apart from the Ballycastle branch, whose story would take too long and who are not immediate relatives (a) of the Route family) are found at Clough. In Dunaghy old graveyard there is a headstone, enclosed by a wall, which bears Boyd Arms and reads: Underneath the chancel of the adjoining church church lie the remains of Captain Hugh Boyd, who departed this life 8th March 1731, aged 75; also Margaret Rowan, his wife, who died March 1717, aged 66; also their son Samuel, who died September 1745, aged 45; and their grandson, who died in 1777." Do any member so this list know of any other children to this couple? I estimate that they were married early 1680's and with Samuel Boyd being born in about 1700, this would make him about their 7 to 10 child.

Rich It is page 292 and I have a copy sitting beside my key board at present. I have not compared the birth dates, but form the look of it would appear to be the next generation. So I am now not sure who has got confused with dates I saw this grave in either 2007 or 2008 and will have to find the right note book to check what I wrote down form the grave.
