Notes - "Lord of Kilmarnock [… Succeeded] before 15 November 1385 (by which date his mother had remarried), styled 'domino de Kilmernok' as witness to a charter confirmed by Robert III on 17 August 1399, had a remission in 1409 from the Duke of Albany for the slaughter of Neilson of Dalrymple, petitioned with the other Gifford coheirs on 1 August 1420 for the erection of the collegiate church of Bothanis, a hostage in 1424 and 1425 for the ransom of King James I and for a time confined in England, the events of his life are often confused with those of his son Sir Thomas Boyd." [The Ancestry of Charles II, citation details below]
A footnote on the same page (174) of The Ancestry of Charles II: "He did not die 7 July 1432, his wife was not Joanna Montgomery, and Margaret Boyd was not the daughter of his son Sir Thomas Boyd, as is generally stated, e.g., in SP 5:140. The lives of these members of the Boyd family have been confused and Robert Boyd, father of [this Thomas Boyd] and husband of the Giffard heiress, has been omitted altogether. 'Alice Gifford,' the supposed wife of [this Thomas Boyd] never existed. This Thomas is not known to have been knighted."
