James Boyd ~ (1) Isabella Campbell (2) Cordelia Rogers

James Boyd, farmer; P. O. Waynesburgh; is a native of Ireland, where he was born in 1826. He emigrated to the United States in 1846, landing in Philadelphia, where he remained for ten years; after which he went to the oil regions of Pennsylvania, remaining there about five years, engaged in various occupations. In 1863, he came to Stark County and commenced farming, buying the Blythe farm, near Waynesburgh, where he has since resided. Mr. Boyd has devoted his entire attention to agriculture in which he has been eminently successful. He now owns 345 acres of land in the township, all of which is under a high state of cultivation; and in location it cannot be excelled. He was married in Philadelphia in 1850, to Miss Isabella Campbell. She died in 1875, leaving one child, McClure Boyd, who was married in 1879 to Miss Susan Richie; they have one son, James C. Boyd. McClure Boyd is now living upon part of his father's farm in Sandy Twp. Mr. Boyd was united to a second wife, Miss Cordelia Rogers, daughter of J. B. Rogers, of Sandy Twp., in 1876. They are both members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Boyd is a conscientious and honored citizen, and an exalted member of the community in which he resides.
