Burgoyne Family
My journey to trace my Burgoyne family’s roots takes me back to around 1812 in Ireland when Patrick Burgoyne was born. He later married Margaret Scott, a native of Caledon in County Tyrone. Their son, Peter, came into the world in County Cavan around 1830. Sometime between Peter’s birth and 1835, Peter and his mother made the significant journey to Ayrshire, Scotland. Regrettably, there are no records of Patrick’s presence in Scotland, leaving us to speculate that he either never made the journey across or, sadly, passed away shortly after arriving in Scotland.
