John Boyd is a native of Knox county, Ohio, born July 20, 1834. His father, Hugh Boyd, was a native of Pennsylvania, and his mother, Jane (McClain) Boyd, of New Jersey. He was reared on a farm and resided in his native county until 1857, in which year, on the 7th day of April, he married Miss Maria Stevenson, daughter of John and Sarah Stevenson, and at once, accompanied by his bride and her parents, started westward. On the 24th of May they arrived at Clarksville, and at once settled on section 36, Jackson township, where Mr. Boyd still resides, and now owns 140 acres. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd have four children – James, Albert, Salena, and Florence.
