It is more than probable that positive proof might also be found. In connexion with tiiis point, the following extract from a letter, written by the celebrated Or. Adam Clarke, will be interesting. This letter was written in Dublin, in the year 1^25. and was published in Etheridge's Life of Dr. Clarke, page 415. The extract is as follows: "I am at Mr. Adam Boyd's. Tell John that he proves positively that his aunt, my grandmother Clarke, was an immediate de- scendant of the Karls of Kilmarnock, ...whose family name was Boyd. His own grandfather was always called Kilmarnock, as standing close to the Earldom." The oldest tombstone (of which the writer has any knowledge), marking the grave of a Scottish settler in the Route, was raised by John Boyd, in 1615, to the memory oi lis wife, Jane Peebles, in Derrykeighan Church- yard. This man. previous to his coming to Ireland, had been several years Provost of Irvine, and was evidently one of the many Scotchmen induced to come to the Route by Randall MacDonnell.
