John Boyd ~ Susan Scott Indiana JOHN BOYD, son of
Samuel Boyd, Sen., settled, in 1812, on Green's Fork, two miles east of
the present town of Jacksonburg. He married, in 1819, Susan Scott,
daughter of Alexander Scott, and is the father of thirteen children:
Samuel Scott Boyd, Sarah A. Boyd, Nelson Boyd, Cynthia Boyd, who died in infancy; William
A. Boyd, who, as Major of the 84th Indiana volunteers, was killed in the late
war, at Tunnel Hill, Georgia; Eliza J. Boyd, John F. Boyd, James W.
Boyd, Joseph L.Boyd, a private soldier in the 57th Indiana
volunteers, who died soon after the battle of Pittsburg Landing, from
exposure in the field; Oliver C. Boyd, Mary Boyd, Martha Boyd, and Susan
Boyd; all of whom
were married, except Oliver C.Boyd, who still resides with his parents. In 1857, John Boyd sold
his farm and removed to Dublin, where he and his wife now reside, aged,
respectively, 82 and 71 years. Four of his sons and two sons-in-law
enlisted in the Union army during the late war; and three of the number, two sons and one
son-in-law, laid down their lives in defense of their country. SAMUEL SCOTT BOYD, son of John Boyd, was born March 31, 1820, in Jackson, now Harrison township. Laboring on the farm nine months of each year until he was twenty-two years of age, his education was limited to the branches usually taught in those times during three winter months. At the age of nineteen, he was promoted to teacher in the school-house in which he had finished his education, under the instruction of George W. Julian, of Centerville. In 1843, he and a brother-in-law bought and rebuilt the McLucas mills on Green's Fork, two miles east of Jacksonburgh. He was married October 14, 1844, to Monimia Bunnell, daughter of Dr. William Bunnell, of the town of Washington. His health failing, he commenced, in 1846, the study of medicine with his father-in-law. In March, 1849, he graduated in the Ohio Medical College, and in April located in Jacksonburgh, where he continued practice until the death of his wife, an excellent woman, and the mother of four children, of which three are living. Immediately after this event, which occurred January 7, 1862, he removed to Centerville. In September following, he was commissioned surgeon of the 84th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and remained in the army until the close of the war, sharing the many trials and triumphs of that regiment. In 1865, the doctor located in Dublin, where he is still engaged in the practice of his profession. On the 5th of September of that year, he was married to Louisa E. Vickroy, of Pennsylvania. He has been a contributor to various papers and periodicals from early manhood, and has taken an active part in promoting the causes of temperance and antislavery, and in efforts for the moral, social, and intellectual improvement of the community.
