James Boyd (deceased) was born January 31, 1805, in Centre County, 
Pennsylvania. His father, Thomas Boyd, moved to Ross County, Ohio, in  1813, and thence to Bloom Township, this county, in April, 1822, where he cleared up a farm and resided until his death in 1847. James Boyd married Miss Eliza Steele, who died leaving two daughters: Elizabeth Boyd, wife of George Shumaker, of Watson Station, Ohio, and Mrs. Emily Boyd Everett,  who died in San Francisco, California in November 1871. Our subject married, on second occasion, Miss Mercy Smith, who was born in Cayuga County, New York, reared at Hadley, Alabama., and came to Scipio Township, this county, with her widowed mother and brothers about 1835. To this union were born three children: James T. Boyd, Ethan C. Boyd and Ellen E. Boyd.  Mrs. Boyd died July 14, 1865. Mr. Boyd ended a useful life, November 11, 1871, at his homestead on Honey Creek, this county.
