James T. Boyd ~ Virginia E. DeWitt 

Bloom Twp; Seneca County, Ohio

James T. Boyd, farmer, P. O. Bloomville, was born July 24, 1842, in Bloom Township, this county. After attending the schools of the district he completed his education under Prof. Aaron Schuyler at Republic. While at that school he enlisted, September 25 1861, in the Fifty-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and took part in many of the historical engagements of Virginia and the southeast. He received a severe wound in the right shoulder at the battle of Resaca, Georgia; re-enlisted with his regiment and served until the close of the war, being discharged, July 20, 1865.  He bore a distinguished part in the service and rose to the rank of captain of his company. Returning home after the struggle he adopted agricultural pursuits. He was married, October 10, 1867, to Miss Virginia E. DeWitt, eldest daughter of the well known pioneer, William DeWitt, of Bloomville, Ohio. They have since resided on their pleasant farm of 175 acres. Their children are Smith DeWitt Boyd, Mary Alice Boyd, James Everett Boyd and Carrie Eoline Boyd. Mr. Boyd is a Republican in politics. He has served his township as assessor and assistant United States marshal, and took the census in 1870 in Bloom, Venice and Reed Townships, this county. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd are members of the Presbyterian Church.
