Woodburn tartan/clan/clan affiliation?

I have attempted to get an official answer from contacted Clan s Cunningham & Boyd as both have Woodburn/bourne listed as septs online. Apparently there are 2 major Cunningham Clans which are supposed to unite. The person I spoke to, someone affiliated w/ the Gathering 2009, said that we are in their listing, but that doesn't really mean anything as their isn't really anything official. I never got a hold of anyone of any type of capacity in Clan Boyd, but many memebers of both that I have talked with said that a family/surname can be part of any or many clans.
So, I am making an assumption that there is no 'official' clan affiliation/tartan for Woodburn. There is nothing to say that any Woodburn branch can 'pledge allegiance' to any clan they wish or none. I am American, so I pledge allegiance to no country, clan, organization other than the United States of America. The United States has no tartan, but I was in the US Navy & it just so happens that they do. =]
