  1. 4.  Samuel Boyd was born about 1782 in Clay Lake, Keady Parish, County Armagh, Ireland (son of Boyd and Margaret, Spec); died on 18 Oct 1862 in Atwood, Elma Twp, Perth County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Elma Centre Cemetery, North Perth County, Ontario, Canada.

    Notes:

    (Research):John and Samuel Boyd were placed, on August 1st 1820, on non-adjacent Lots in Lanark Township - Samuel at Con 12 Lot 2W and John at Con 10 Lot 2E - probably this is what they asked for rather than a bureaucratic decision - as settlers were often granted such consideration. Interestingly enough they eventually had Andrew Stephenson b.c. 1794 (at times spelled Stevenson) located between them at Con. 11 Lot 2E - about 1823-4. He was married to their sister - Mary Boyd. It has been said that the Boyd family's parents died in 1819 and that 6 out of their 9 Boyd offspring came to Canada. We account here for 4.

    Henry Hammond, who was married to another Boyd sister, Margaret Boyd, was located next to John Boyd at Lanark Con. 10 Lot 1E on the 12 of August 1820.

    Unfortunately, this family tree is pieced together rather than assembled in an orderly way. It may needs to be changed somewhat after closer scrutiny. Nevertheless it shows family connections in Armagh transported to Canada.
    Indications are that the Boyds lived near Clay Lake which borders Keady.

    Names like Boyd's Settlement and later McCreary's Corners further to the east - were informal descriptions of the communities which sprung up. There is no doubt, however that the emigration of August 1820 brought together two groups of families from far-flung corners of Ireland, some Methodists, some Church of Ireland (Anglican). A look at the dates in August 1820 when land was granted reveals a little more about the wave of Irish settlement here. There were few Scots who were settled in this area in the early days, and the Irish were distributed among the Armagh settlers and those from Wexford and particularly western Wicklow. Whether these settlers knew each other before arriving or met while being transported is not known.

    A girl under 12 is listed with Samuel Boyd who is unmarried (widowed?) upon arrival. This was likely Sarah Pearl Boyd.

    The Boyd family was Methodist and may have influence the family switch from Anglican to Methodist.
    Samuel Boyd sent to Ireland for Nancy Poole, married her and later moved to Elma Twp, Huron Cty, now Perth Cty ON.

    Notes:

    Married:
    Before coming to this new land, Sam Boyd was a teacher in Ireland. It is also said that it was he who opened the first Methodist Sunday school in that part of Ireland. After coming to Lanark township, he became a leader in the life of the community and it is believed that he may have been the first school master here. When he came to this country, Sam Boyd left behind him a dear friend in the person of a young lady named Nancy. It is said that he was quite sick and ailing much of his time until at last one day Nancy arrived from the old country. After that Sam made a remarkable recovery and married his Nancy.
