Thomas Boyd Jr was born 1785 probably in Jaunita Twp., Cumberland Co., PA, although some census reports say he was born in MD, he could have even been born in York Co., PA; he married about 1810 in Cumberland or York to Susanna Howe, b. Aug. 22, 1786, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA. They lived in that part of Cumberland Co. that became Perry Co. in 1820. Susanna died Apr. 13, 1855 in Buck's Valley, Buffalo Twp., Perry Co., PA and was mother to nine children, most of which migrated west to Ohio and beyond. Thomas eventually moved to Darke Co., OH in 1855,  where several of his children had gone, and he remarried to Rachel Paulus, widow of Joseph O. Keltner, in 1856. Thomas and Rachel appear on the 1860 Census there, but that same year, Thomas moved into the home of his daughter Rebecca Boyd near Angola, IN, alone. This family planned to move west and Thomas was sent to live with his son William Boyd in Dallas Co., IA. Thomas died Jan. 3, 1871 in Dallas Co., IA.
