While doing some research to reply to David Boyd of Ontario, I came upon this query in Dean Raod,:- I will do this query form Dean Road, Winter 1991-1992, page 9 My husband is said to be descended in direct line from the Boyds of Kilmarnock, supposedly by the eldest son of the eldest son, etc*.. I got back to his ggg-grandfather named James Boyd who married Susannah Browne -- no dates but their children's birth have dates:- a. Susannah Fricilla: b 19 Feb 1767, Coleraine, Co Londonderry, Ireland. b. James Brown (died young) b 14 July 1768 Jonesburrough, Co Armagh, Ireland. c. Robert b 17 July 1772, Intina, Ireland. d. Uriah, b 19 April 1774, Permanent Officer in the Army. e. James Browne b 10 Oct. 1777. Lt in the Royal Navy. The background of Susannah Browne is: Father - Francis Brown; Mother - Susannah Ryves; Grandfather - Bagshaw Ryves; Grandmother - Priscilla Kirks. By 1798 Susannah Browne Boyd was married to Robert Thompson so something happened to James Boyd before that. Does anyone have any info on this James Boyd who married Susannah ? Louise Boyd San Rafael, CA 94903 * This could not be correct or they would have been Lord Boyd and the Earl of Kilmarnock. Certainly the later generations may have been elder sons when they came to Ireland. Note the first child is said to have been born in Coleraine, Co Londonderry and the second in Jonesburrough, County Armagh. David has said that his James Boyd was born in 1726 and he would appear to have married when he was about 40 years old to Susannah. So was there an first family born to him? There were Boyds in Coleraine in 1637, but I have no way to link this James to that Family at present. If you descend from any of these children please contact me.
