John Boyd

Sketch of the Boyd Family , St. Charles County, Missouri

John Boyd, of Ireland, came to America before the Revolution.  He had two sons, John Jr. and William.  The latter was a gunsmith, and in the War of 1812 he was commissioned Captain of Volunteers.  In his company were six of his apprentices, all of whom were killed in the same battle.  Captain Boyd married Ruth Carr, of Pennsylvania, and settled in Spencer County, Kentucky, in 1792.  In 1829 he came to Missouri, and, selecting a location in St. Charles County, for his future residence, he returned to Kentucky, but died before he had completed his arrangements for moving.  His widow and children came to St. Charles County in 1830. The names of the children were: Elizabeth, John, Elijah, Hiram, Jane, James, Emeline, William, Ruth, Alexander T. and Thomas C.  John married a Miss Clemens.  Elijah married Fannie Thomas.  Jane was married in Kentucky to Joseph Brown.  Emeline married James Cochran.  Alexander T. married Medora McRoberts.  Thomas C. married Ruth Allen.  Ruth married Wade Munday.  William went to California, and died there.  James never was married, and died in St. Charles County.  Hiram married Rebecca Datson, of Lincoln County.  Elizabeth married Alexander W. Thomas, and settled in Kentucky.
