TARGET NAMES, LOCATIONS, AND DATES FOR BOYD RESEARCH

Prepared by Lawrence H. Boyd, January 17, 2000

Give us a call or email to see what we might have on that name.

This file contains a set of names, locations, and dates pertaining to the Trafalgar/Seneca/Muskoka Boyd family and related families. The primary purpose is to facilitate the search for the Irish roots of our Canadian Boyd ancestors, James Boyd and his two brothers, Robert Boyd and David Boyd. We have been looking for years without success, so we are trying another strategy, which is to trace the roots of people who were closely related to these Boyds in hopes that someone among them might have a lead where to look in Ireland. We hope that people who see a possible connection will contact us. They can help us reach our objectives and in many cases we will be able to help them with their family trees. We also hope that people will share their anecdotes and legends about their families and ancestors. Most of all, we fondly hope that there is somebody out there who has some information that might tell us exactly where the three BOYD brothers were born and who their parents were - or at least have some ideas where exactly to look. For example, someone related to the Irish-born MCCLELLANDS or WARNOCKS or LOCKHARTS of this family may know something that might provide a clue to the origins of the Irish BOYD brothers.

FIRST TIER OF TARGETED SURNAMES

Robert Boyd, b. 1795, in Ireland to 1821 – 1827, m. Elizabeth Myles in Canada

David Boyd, b. 1797, residing in Ireland to 1821 – 1827, m. Susannah, possibly in Ireland around 1825, Children born in Canada.

James Boyd, b. 1798, residing in Ireland to 1821 – 1827, m. Rosannah, possibly in Ireland around 1825, children born in Canada

These are BOYDS b. 1790-1810, d. 1850-1880, who might have been sisters or brothers of Robert Boyd, David Boyd, and James Boyd who stayed behind. Common first names of early male descendants include Albert, Andrew, George, Hugh, John, Joseph, and William. For some reason, there are no Issacs, Samuels, or Thomas’ of early descendants, although they were common among Boyds in Ireland. The most common first names of Boyd women were: Ann, Elizabeth, Eliza, Jane, Margaret, Mary, & Melissa, with many combinations, such as Ann Elizabeth, Elizabeth Ann, Ann Margaret, Margaret Ann, and Mary Jane.

These are BOYDS b. 1750-1770, d. 1830-1860, who might have been a father or uncles of Robert Boyd, David Boyd, and James Boyd who stayed behind. Common first names of BOYD descendants include Albert, Andrew, George, Hugh, John, Joseph, Robert, and William. For some reason, there are no Issacs, Samuels, or Thomas’, but should not be excluded from consideration.

These are people who were found with our Boyds in Canada who might have lived near our Boyds in Ireland. The primary people in this category are McClellands and Warnocks and possibly Lockharts, though the Lockharts appear to have originated in County Tyrone or County Down.
