John Jackson Boyd was born in New York about 1826. He attended the U.S.
Military Academy, West Point, New York, and was commissioned a lieutenant of cavalry. He served in the regular army under General John C. Fremont, and was a member of the Pathfinders expedition to Pike's Peak. He resigned his commission after a few years and returned to New York.

In 1860, John Boyd migrated to Kansas, settling in Doniphan County.  He
organized and was the captain of the local militia in Troy, Doniphan County, Kansas called "Boyd's Company", 4th Regiment Kansas Volunteers.
