Note

From Side-Lights on Maryland History, v.2:

pp. 269-70 - In the will of Mary, wife of John Boyd, proved in the year 1722, it is shown that their daughter Martha married Thomas Wells. The high social status of the family is proven by the intermarriages of the sons and daughters of John Boyd. Of these John Boyd married Elinor Fitz- Redmond, niece of Charles Carroll, first of the Carrolls of Carrollton in Maryland, the marriage being recorded in All Hallows Parish Register, Anne Arundel County, page 72, dated March 28, 1706. The proof of the relationship to Charles Carroll is to be found in his will, dated December 1, 1718, proved July 28, 1720 (Annapolis Wills, Liber 16, folio 176) as follows:

"I devise unto my four kinswomen Elinor Boyd, Margaret Macknamarra, Joyce Bradford and Maccoy, my tract of land in Baltimore County called 'Uncle's Good Will' to be equally divided betwixt them and their heirs forever, and to my kinswomen Johanna Crokesdell, five pounds current money, and to my cousin Major John Bradford sixteen pounds to buy him a mourning shute. "I give to my loving kinsmen Thomas Macnemarra, James Carroll, William Fitzremond, Charles Carroll, Dominick Carroll, Michael Taylor and Daniel Carroll six pounds each for mourning rings."

I have seen user-submitted records that give her maiden name as Duvall. Because the great majority give her maiden name as unknown, and the fact that the "Duvall" records provide no source for that name, I have left her maiden name as unknown.
