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.   Anne Shier Klintworth Check out my genealogy blog at http://genealogygirl.wordpress.com/ ----- Original Message ---- > From: Mike Boyd <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sat, February 13, 2010 10:16:23 PM > 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.
