Mason Boyd / Mary Harding Dodge William Boyd / Martha Dickey Rockingham Co; NH DANIEL M. BOYD, one of the foremost citizens of the town of London-Derry, was born April 23, 1858, on the farm on which he now resides, a son of MASON and MARY HARDING (DODGE) BOYD. The Boyd family is an old and respected one in this section of the state. WILLIAM BOYD, grandfather of our subject, who died in Londonderry in 1825, at the age of sixty-nine years, was born in this section, either in Antrim or Londonderry. He was a farmer and well known and respected citizen. He was a member of the Washington Society and of the Presbyterian church. He married MARTHA DICKEY, also of an old family, who was born in Londonderry in 1780. They reared three children, namely: CALVIN; MARIA, who married Horace P. WATTS, and MASON. MASON BOYD was born in Londonderry, N. H., August 28, 1821, and spent his life here engaged in farming, stock raising and lumbering. Popular with his fellow citizens, he was elected representative to the legislature and also served as special appraiser of real estate in Londonderry. He married MARY HARDING DODGE, a native of Eden, Vt., and of their seven children there are now four survivors, namely: MARTHA J., who is unmarried; ABBY E., wife of Frank S. Crowell, of Bedford, N. H.; DANIEL M., subject of this sketch, and EMMA D., who is the widow of Fred A. Young. DANIEL M. BOYD was reared and educated in Londonderry and has been a farmer and dairyman ever since beginning industrial life. He has a fine and valuable farm and keeps from 80 to 100 cows, producing on a daily average about 100 cans of milk, of eight and a half quarts each, all of which he ships to Melrose Highlands, Mass. In addition to this, he carries on extensive operations in lumber, buying tracts of timber, which he converts into the marketable product. He is a stockholder in the First National Bank of Derry. Mr. Boyd has served as appraiser of real estate and as representative to the legislature. In the last senatorial election, as the republican candidate, he had a plurality of over 300 votes over his nearest competitor; but as the law required a majority over all, the election went to the legislature and he lost by two votes only. Had the law been then as it now is he would have been senator. Mr. Boyd is a member of Echo Lodge, I. O. O. F., and of Londonderry Grange. An enterprising and public spirited citizen, he takes a keen interest in whatever is calculated to promote the welfare of the town, and is ready to lend his aid and influence to a worthy cause. On May 7,1884, Mr. Boyd was united in marriage with MISS HATTIE P. MULLINS, of Londonderry. He and his wife attend the Presbyterian church and are popular members of the best society of the town.
