20 Aug 1833
State of Missouri
Calloway County

      On this twentyeth day of August in the year eighteen hundred and thirty three personally appeared in open court before the County Clerk of Calloway County now sitting,
* Thomas Boyd a resident of the said County of Calloway in the State of Missouri aforesaid, aged seventy two years
* I was born on the 10th of March in the year 1761 in York CountyPennsylvania
* North Carolina, to which State I removed along with my Father and family when I was about eight years of age.
* My Father then settled with his family in what was then called Berk County close to the line of Rowan County.
* I remained there with my Father and Mother until I was about fifteen years old when the British having landed in Georgia sent emmisaries and officers to the Cherokees to excite them to war against the Americans in which they so well succeeded that the Cherokees became very troublesome on the head waters of Tennessee River and made an attack upon the frontier settlements of North and South Carolina on the waters of the Catawba, the Watenee and the Broad River and succeeded in masacring many of the inhabitants.  To repel them, British and Indians, a considerable force was raised of volunteers and drafted Militia under the of one General Rutherford.  A brother of mine having volunteer- ed, in order to go along with him, I ran away from my father, being about fifteen years old...
* I left Berk County N.C. in the year '95 after having lived there from my early childhood until that time - thence I moved to Montgomery County Kentucky where I remained until
* 1826 when I removed thence to Calloway County Missouri where I now live.  I am in my 73d year since the 10th day of March last.  My Revolutionary services commenced in seventy six when I was in by 15th year, so that taking my youth then and my old age now it ought not to be required of me to state facts with the precision and detail which would suppose a perfect memory; about the year and month in which my first services commenced I am confident that I have stated correctly …
