Robert

Robert, seventh Lord Boyd born 1595. In 1611 he had licence from King James (VI of Scotland I of England) to go abroad with two servants for five years. In 1626 with Lord Sample he was put under a caution to keep the peace. He died in 1628, having married first Margaret, widow of fifth Earl of Eglinton, and 2nd Christian, widow of tenth Lord Lindsay.

By the latter he had issue:

1. Robert - eighth lord
2. Helen - died unmarried before 1647
3. Agnes - married Sir George Morison
4. Jean - married Sir Alexander Morison
5. Marion - married Sir James Dundas
6. Isabel - married 1st John Sinclair and 2nd Sir John Grier
7. Christian - married Sir William Scott of Ardross. She was a strict Presbyterian and refused to attend the curate, for which her husband was fined $1500 and imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. He asked the Privy Council to relieve him of responsibility for his wife's delinquencies, as she would in no wise covenant to attend the curate, but they would not, holding that husbands were to be accounted masters of their wives.
