Alexander
Boyd Esq., of Waterford, Ireland
I am interested in any
data on an Alexander Boyd Esq., of Waterford, Ireland
who died in 1745. He married 1st, Jane Hawford and second Uryth Mason.
His
children by Jane: James Boyd, dead by 1745; Robert Boyd of
Glenshaw mentioned as eldest surviving son in father's will in 1745;
George Boyd was named executor in the will; Frances Boyd, married a
? Ward; Ellen Boyd married an ? Elliot; Elizabeth Boyd married
? Napper; aforementioned daughters all mentioned in father's will;
Jane Boyd born 1723 married Darcius Drake (born 1711) who was named
executor of father-in-law's will; Mary Boyd who married William
Paul of Waterford; and finally Ann Boyd who married Robert Carr
Winckworth.
Robert and Ann Boyd
Winckworth had several children, one of whom was Jane Winckworth (died
June 4, 1844, Surrey, England) who married Humphrey Bunster (died 8 Nov
1807 at Cornwall). Their son, Grosvenor Bunster (Royal Navy) who was
bapt. 25 July 1790 married Elizabeth Bunster 25 December 1817 in London.
Their daughter Josephine Rosario Bunster married John C. Searle 7 March
1823 at Valpairaiso, Chile. They had one son Andres Valenzuela Searle
(me).
One son by second wife
Uryth Mason named John Boyd and was also named executor of his father's
will in 1745.
I would be very grateful
if anyone could give me data on Alexander Boyd's parents.
