Thomas Boyd, (1) the fourth laird, who succeeded his father in 1596, was twice married, 1st to Marion Mure, a daughter of
Mure of Rowallan, by whom he had two sons: 1st Thomas Boyd, who succeeded his father as fifth laird of
Penkill.
2nd Alexander Boyd, whose descendants carried on the descent after the failure of issue of his elder brother. The fourth
laird married, secondly, a daughter of Sir Andrew Dick of Craighouse, by whom he had no issue. He died in 1673, and was
succeeded by his elder son.
Thomas Boyd, the fifth laird of Penkill, who came into possession of the estate in 1671, his father having in his
lifetime made over Penkill to him, most probably on his marriage with the Honourable Ann Melville, sister of George,
fourth Earl of Melville; by this marriage Thomas Boyd, had a son, also called:
Thomas Boyd, who succeeded his father as sixth laird of Penkill. He married the Honourable Isabella Lindsay, second
daughter of David, first Lord Balcarres. The issue of this marriage was an only son:
Alexander Boyd, the seventh laird, who succeeded his father in 1715, but dying without male issue, (2) the representation of
the family and also the lands devolved on the descendants of Alexander Boyd, the second son of
1. Thomas Boyd, the fourth laird of Penkill, was served heir to the lands of Wester Sanquhar in 1601, and to estates in
Carrick in 1616.

(Dailly Parish Records). She predeceased her father.

Thomas Boyd, the fourth laird of Penkill. This Alexander Boyd had married Helen Cathcart of Carleton, by whom he had a son
(name not given), who had a son, Alexander Boyd. This latter Alexander Boyd, on the failure of the elder branch as above
stated, succeeded to Penkill as eighth laird. He, however,
died unmarried in 1750, when the representation of the family, as well as the estate of Penkill, devolved on Boyd of
Trochrig, afterwards of Penkill.
TROCHRIG LINE
(I) James Boyd (the second son of Adam Boyd (H), the first of Penkill) was first Laird of Trochrig. He was Archbishop of
Glasgow. He died on the 21st of June 1581, and was buried in the choir of the Cathedral of Glasgow, and lain in the same
sepulchre with Bishop Gavin Dunbar. He married Margaret
Chalmers of Gadgirth, by whom he had a son and daughter.
(J) 1st Robert Boyd, who succeeded his father. and 2nd Elizabeth Boyd, who married Patrick Maxwell of the family of
Pollok.
(J) Robert Boyd, the second laird of Trochrig, was born in Glasgow in 1578. He was professor of Divinity, first at
Saumur in France, and afterwards at home, both in Glasgow and Edinburgh; he married at Saumur, in May 1611, Ann Malvera.

His friends in Scotland urged him to return to his native country. This request was enforced by reasons which are
seldom uttered in vain. His kinsman David Boyd wrote to him from Kilmarnock pressing his return, and desiring him to
consider how low the houses of Penkill and Trochrig then were; that they had only two youths to represent them; and
that they were both abroad, far from their relatives and friends. The same letter informed him that his cousin Zachary
Boyd (1) had nearly completed his studies, and requested
1. Zachary Boyd was an eminent divine of the seventeenth century, and a most prolific writer on ecclesiastical
subjects. He was born about the year 1589, and received his early education at the school of Kilmarnock; after completing
his studies at the Glasgow University he proceeded to France, and under his cousin, Robert Boyd of Trochrig, became a student at the University of Saumur. He remained in France
for a period of about fourteen years, when in 1621, he was compelled to return to his own country owing to the persecutions which were taking place against all protestants in France. In the year 1623 he received the important charge
of the Barony Church in Glasgow, and remained the minister of this extensive parish until his death (circa 1653-54). Among
his many literary works, the principal one may be mentioned. It was entitled "The last Batell of the Soule in Death" (I
live to die that I may die to live") and dedicated to "the most sacred and most mightie monarch" Charles the first; it
consisted of a prose and poetical address. Zachary was married twice, 1st to Elizabeth Fleming and 2nd to Margaret Mure, the third daughter of William Mure of Glanderston, Renfrewshire. No issue is recorded by either marriage.
Zachary Boyd at his death left a considerable amount of money. This sum he divided in his will between his widow and
the Glasgow University. To the latter he bequeathed 1600 pounds, which in those days represented very much more than
it does today; to the same seat of learning he bequeathed his fine library. His bust, with a suitable inscription
acknowledging his generosity, was afterwards placed over an
archway which passed under the great tower of the old College of Glasgow, and which was the means of communication between
him to provide some suitable situation for his young relative. He died in Edinburgh, where he had gone from
Trochrig for medical advice, on the 5th of January 1627, and
was succeeded in the estate by his son, John Boyd.
Page 20.
(K) John Boyd succeeded his father as third laird of Trochrig. The name of his wife is not mentioned, but he had
two children, a son and a daughter:
(L) 1st Robert Boyd, who succeeded his father as fourth laird. 2nd. Margaret Boyd, who married Sir William Bruce,
fourth Baronet of Stenhouse, who had issue, three sons and several daughters.
(L) Robert Boyd succeeded his father as fourth laird of Trochrig. "It would seem to be this gentleman who married a
daughter of William Crawford of Auchinames sometime towards the end of the 17th century." He was succeeded by his son,
John Boyd.
(M) John Boyd succeeded his father as fifth laird
the outer and the inner court or quadrangle; the bust itself faced towards the inner court. This bust is still preserved,
and is built into the wall of the staircase leading to the museum of the new College buildings. There is a photogravure
of it in Stewart's "University of Glasgow, Old and New."
The following is related of Zachary Boyd when he was about to make his will. Whether he had an idea that his wife intended
to marry again is not known; however, the traditional anecdote is worth repeating. His wife suggested that he
should leave something to Mr. James Durham. "No, no, Margaret" was his reply, "I will leave nothing but thy bonny
self." Another version of his reply was, "I will leave him what I cannot keep from him." What truth there is in this
incident it is impossible to say, but the fact remains that after his death his widow married Mr. James Durham.

of Trochrig; the name of the lady he married is not menttioned, but he had two sons:
1st Robert Boyd, who succeeded his father as sixth laird.
(N) 2nd James Boyd, whose descendants carried on the descent after the failure of issue of his elder brother.
PENKILL AND TROCHRIG LINE COMBINED
Robert Boyd, the elder son of John Boyd, succeeded his father as sixth laird of Trochrig. He was on the 28th
February 1752 served heir male to Alexander Boyd of Penkill, the last of that branch, who died, as already stated, in
1750; his regular descent from Adam Boyd, the first of Penkill, was at the same time proved. He thus became ninth
laird of Penkill.
He himself died in November 1761 without male issue. He had two daughters, Ann and Grace; the elder, married William
Boyd Robertson, to whom she had a daughter , who sold Trochrig, which property remained no longer in the family;
but Penkill went to the descendants of James Boyd (N), second son of John Boyd (M), fifth laird of Trochrig.
(N) James Boyd, who was a physician in Virginia, married Mary Thatch, daughter of Spencer Thatch, by whom he had two sons:
(O) 1st Spencer Boyd (tenth laird).
2nd. James Boyd.

PENKILL LINE ONLY
(O) The elder son, Spencer Boyd, succeeded to Penkill as tenth laird on the failure of heirs male of the older branch,
as before stated. The name of the lady he married is not recorded, but he had two sons, who were in succession lairds
of Penkill:
1st James Boyd (eleventh laird)
(P) 2nd Spencer Boyd (twelfth laird)
The elder son, James Boyd, eleventh laird, succeeded to Penkill in 1782. He married Betty Boyd, but dying without
issue, he was succeeded by his brother, Spencer Boyd.
(P) Spencer Boyd, the twelfth laird, was served heir to Penkill in 1792. He married Sarah Wilkinson (1) of Carlisle, and
had following issue:
1st Spencer Boyd, who succeeded as thirteenth laird.
2nd John Boyd, who died in Jamaica, unmarried.
3rd Julia Boyd, who died at the age of seventeen.
(Qa) 4th Sarah Boyd, who married Major John Orr.
(Qb) 5th Alice Boyd, who married Elias Gibb.
The elder son, Spencer Boyd, succeeded his father as thirteenth laird of Penkill. He married Margaret Losh, by
whom he had a son and a daughter:
1st Spencer Boyd, who succeeded his father.
2nd Alice Boyd, who succeeded her brother.
Spencer Boyd, the only son of his father, succeeded

to Penkill as fourteenth laird. He died unmarried, (1) and was succeeded by his sister, Alice Boyd. She died unmarried on
the 11th of April 1897, and was the last of the direct line of the family of Boyd to own the estate. On the death of
Spencer Boyd, thirteenth laird, his widow (nee Margaret Losh) married for the second time Henry Courtney, and had issue
Henry Courtney Courtney, who had two daughters, Eleanor Margaret and Alice. As above stated, Alice Boyd, the last of
the direct line of the family of Boyd, died unmarried on the 11th April 1897. By her brother Spencer's (fourteenth laird)
will he left Penkill first to her, and upon her
1. Spencer Boyd, fourteenth laird, died in the winter of 1865-66, and was buried in the family enclosure in the
ancient ruin of Old Dailly Church. "The summer after this sudden change to A.B (Miss Alice Boyd), as we were driving in
the neighborhood of the little seaside town, Girvan, passing a place where had traditionally existed a tower, possibly the
oldest house of the Boyds in these parts, we found a villa in course of building on the very spot. Robert M'Lean, the old
coachman of the family, drew up, and, looking about him, pointed to the shattered stump of an ash tree, and drew his
mistress's attention to it. "That's it," was his emphatic announcement. I found on inquiry that this remainder of a
tree was an after growth from the stool of the last of a pair of great ashes once associated with the tower, long dear to
the inhabitants of the little town, and that there was a rhyme current among them to this effect:
"When the last leaf draps frae the auld aish tree,
The Penkill Boyds maun cease to be."
To defeat this prophecy, apparently approaching realization, a piece of the old wood, bearing a young shoot still green
and fresh, was cut off and carefully planted. "The popular prophecy is of course correct about us," said A.B., "but let
us try if we can break the connection with the ash trees" So it was carefully, perhaps too carefully, as an ash tree is
not quite at home in a heated greenhouse; next summer it was alive, but its leaves were few; next season it was gone"
From "Autobiographical Notes of the LIfe of William Bell
Scott" edited by W. Minto, 1892.

decease without heirs, the estate was to go to one of the children of his mother by her second marriage with Henry
Courtney, or, failing them, to one of their heirs.
Finally, on Miss Alice Boyd's death on 11th of April 1897, Penkill went to Eleanor Margaret Courtney, elder daughter of
Henry Courtney Courtney and grand-daughter of Margaret Losh, the widow of Spencer Boyd, the thirteenth laird.
Miss Eleanor Margaret Courtney, on succeeding to the estate of Penkill, assumed the name of Boyd.

CHAPTER III
THE DESCENDANTS OF SPENCER BOYD, TWELFTH LAIRD OF PENKILL
As mentioned in the preceeding chapter, Spencer Boyd (P) twelfth laird of Penkill, married Sarah Wilkinson of
Carlisle, and had issue two sons and three daughters, named:
1st Spencer Boyd, thirteenth laird.
2nd John Boyd, who died in Jamaica, unmarried.
3rd Julia Boyd, who died at the age of seventeen, unmarried.
(Qa) 4th Sarah Boyd.
(Qb) 5th Alice Boyd.
The only direct descendants of Spencer Boyd, thirteenth laird, were his son Spencer Boyd, fourteenth laird, and his
daughter Alice Boyd, both of whom died unmarried.
It therefore follows that all the present descendants of Spencer Boyd, the twelfth laird of Penkill, come through his
youngest daughters, Sarah Boyd and Alice Boyd.
