Barron Thomas Boyd was the 5TH Lord Boyd...

Ben M. Angel notes: Not sure what source the person asserting this was using, but according to "The Ancestors and Descendants of James Boyd and Nancy Wier" by William R. Boyd, referenced by the House of Boyd website, this person is 6th Lord, son of Robert, 5th Lord:

(23) Thomas, 6th Lord Boyd, joined with his father in the association in behalf of Queen Mary, May 8, 1568, and was engaged in her Army at Langside, May 13, 1568. He received a good conduct (or passport) reading as follows: "Thomas Master of Boyds, to depart and pass furth of our realm to the partis of France, Flanderis, wall of the spa, and othens partis quhare he pleasis, thair to remain for seeking for cure and remed of his saidis diseasis, for the space of three zeiris after the date hereof...Providing always that our said cousin do not attempt nothing in prejudice of us our realm and religion publiclie prechit and profeist within our realim or otherwais this our licence to be null and of none availe force nor effect. Given under our signit and subscrivit with our hand at our castell of steivliny the XIII day of July and of our reign the twelth zeir-1.5.7.9. JAMES R."

Thomas married Margaret, second daughter of Sir Mathew Cambell of Loudon and his wife, Isabel, daughter of Sir John Drummond of Innpeffery and his wife, Janet, natural daughter of King James IV. Thomas died in June, 1611, and had seven children:

• 1. Robert, Master of Boyd (24);
• 2. Sir Thomas Boyd of Bedlay;
• 3. Adam Boyd, who married Margarat, sister of Robert Galbraith of Kileroich;
• 4. John Boyd of whom we have no record;
• 5. Marion, who married James, Earl of Abercorn;
• 6. Isabel; and
• 7. Agnes, who married Sir George Elphinstone of Blytheswood.

The aforesaid Isabel, according to Robertson, married John Blair, but Collin's Peerage states that James Stuart of Bute (died 1662), married Isabel, daughter of Sir Douglas Cambell of Auchinbrick and Isabel his wife, daughter of Thomas, Lord Boyd, which must mean that Isabel married twice.
