BOYD OF BALLYCASTLE. extract from> THREE HUNDRED YEARS IN INNISHOWEN, by Amy Young> pages 292 to 298> In three parts: this one pages 292/293>> The family of Boyd of Ballycastle, now represented by Miss Kathleen Boyd,> who is unmarried and lives at the Manor House is supposed to be descended> from the Boyds, Earls of Kilmarnock; and one of the earlier ancestors was> known as "Kilmarnock," as it was said that he stood "close to the Earldom.">> In the churchyard at Derrykeighan, Co. Antrim, there is a tombstone bearing> the following inscription:> "Here lyeth the body of Jane Peebles, sometime wife to John Boyd of> Carncogie, late Provost of Irwin. She died 1615."> John Boyd, mentioned above, field lands called Carncogie, near Dervock, at> this time, and is placed by Burke as the father of THOMAS BOYD of> Carncogie, who field the same lands from the Earl of Antrim in 1614. Thomas> Boyd was a Scotsman, and was made a denizen of Ireland, 29th Jan., 1611. He> also held the lands of “Ballyhibistocke” in 1631, and bought "Lisconane" in> 1620. He died 15th Aug., 1634, having married circa 1611, Elizabeth Seton,> or Smeeton. Thomas Boyd of Carncogie was executor to the will of William> Boyd of Dunluce, dated 1624, who may possibly have been his brother or> cousin. Besides Hugh, Thomas had a younger son Thomas, who got Lisconane> front his father, and was alive on the 10th Aug., 1661 (Decrees of Innocent> XL, 14). It appears probable that there was another son, William, of> Clontifinan, ,who was father of Capt. Hugh Boyd, of Mount Edwards,> Cushendall (b 1685/6, and d. March. 30, 1731), who married Margaret Rowan> (who was b. 1687 and d. 1747), both of whom are buried in the chancel of> the church at Clough, Co. Antrim. A portrait of this Capt. Hugh Boyd,> similarly inscribed, stating that he was the eldest son of William Boyd, of> Clontifinan, Ballycastle, was in the possession of a family- named Boyd,> residing at 9, Victoria St., Dublin. The portrait was of a gentleman in a> wig and armour. The inscription in Clough church gives several sons and> daus., the name Hugh occurring more than once, so that it is very probable> that this family were closely related to the Ballycastle branch, though the> exact connection is not known.> Hugh Boyd, the eldest son of Thomas of Carncogie, is said by Burke to have> been father of the Rev. William Boyd, of Drumawillan, who was Vicar of> Ramoan, and d 1727 or 1737. By his marriage with Rose, dau. and heiress of> Daniel McNeile of Clare (grandson of Hugh McNeile, to whom Sir Randal> MacDonnell granted the Constableship of Duncaney and Ballycastle, and many> acres of land in that part), this William Boyd became possessed of> considerable property. He appears to have married a second time, since his> soil Hugh in his will mentions two "brothers-in-law," Alexander Boyd and> the Rev. Charles Boyd. The term “brother-in-law” was used in several senses> in earlier times, and could quite well refer to half-brothers. One of these> "brothers-in-law," Alexander, was Surveyor of the Customs at Ballycastle,> and got the Clare property from his father. He married Anne, dau. (or> sister) of Ezekiel Davys Wilson, of Carrickfergus Co. Antrim, and> had a number of children. This family was known as the Boyds of Clare Park,> but is now extinct in the male line, and the Clare property was sold by one> of them to Edmund McGildowny, Esq., whose descendants still hold it. The> chart on p. 291 shows the children of Alexander Boyd.> By his first wife, Rose McNeile, the Rev. William Boyd had at least two> sons and two daus. The younger son was the Rev. William, A.M., born at> Drumawillan 1696, and entered T.C.D., 1711. He was treasurer of the diocese> of Connor in 1730, and Archdeacon of Kildare 1737. He married a Miss> Blundell, a sister of Dean Blundell, of Dublin, and had two sons and two> daus.> To return to the elder son of the Rev. William Boyd, Vicar of Ramoan, Col.> Hugh Boyd; he was b. 1680, and became a man of very considerable importance> in Ballycastle, and indeed in Co. Antrim. He was Mayor of Coleraine in> 1725. 1729, and 173t4, and was High Sheriff of Co. Antrim in 1734. He> bought the Ballycastle estate in 1737 from the Earl of Autrim, and built> the church in Ballycastle, he himself being the first to be interred in the> vault underneath it in 1765. He also built the harbour at Ballycastle, and> the present Mansion House, situated as near as possible to the scene of his> labours. Drumawillan, his previous residence, is near Ballycastle, but not> close enough for his convenience.> Col. Hugh Boyd is said to have been always distinguished for a genuine> humility of mind. He was sincerely pious, and endowed the handsome little> church in Ballycastle, the inscription over the door of which says “Keep> thy foot when thou enterest the House of God, and be more ready to hear> than to offer the sacrifice of fools."> His will contained instructions that the cost of his funeral was not to> exceed £120, and he strongly advised all his relatives to follow this> example, as he had a great objection to ostentations and costly funerals,> his elder son died in the Colonel’s lifetime and his two eldest grandsons> had no sons, so the Colonel’s will is long, and contains a good many> “contingent reminders.”
