Darke County, Ohio SAMUEL BOYD - Among the first settlers of Greenville was Azor Scribner. Late in 1806 or early in 1807, he came to Greenville with a small stock of Indian goods, including tobacco and whisky, and began business in a cabin built by a Frenchman who had deserted the same two years before because of the thieving depredations of the Indians. He did not bring his family, consisting of a wife and two daughters, from Middletown until 1808, but what time of the year is not known. It is conceded that the first white man who, with a wife and children, emigrated to the county and settled in Greenville township was SAMUEL BOYD, who came in 1807 and built himself a cabin about two and one-half miles north by east of the site of Fort Greenville on the bank of a branch that yet goes by the name of BOYD'S CREEK. Boyd was a native of Maryland, had lived in Kentucky, and was probably married there before he emigrated to Ohio and had, as far as we are able to learn, stopped one or two years near the Miami in Butler county, before emigrating to the wilderness, that, two years afterward, created the county of Darke. Boyd lost his wife about 1816, and she was the first person buried in the old graveyard below the railroad bridge; the early settlers having previously used as a cemetery the lot on which the Catholic church is erected, but during the occupancy of the fort by General Wayne's army his hospital was located on the lot now occupied by Judge George A. Jobes, while his graveyard was located upon the lot now occupied by the dwelling house of R.S. Frizell. Boyd died in 1829 or 1830; one of his daughters, the wife of John Carnahan, had died in 1821 or 1822; and another, the wife of Robert Martin, lived until about thirteen years ago, recognized as the oldest inhabitant of the county at that time.

BOYD page 310 A few enterprising residents of Green township started the first Harvest Home organization in the county. On the Fourth of July, 1860, a little group of citizens, comprising Messrs. R.H. Fenton, W.L. Carson and N. Gregory, happening to meet in one of the central groves of the township, the Suggestion of a regular Harvest Home was started by Mr. Fenton, and cordially acceded to by the others. Several townships had previously made spasmodic experiments in this direction, but had all proved failures after a short run. The foundations of the new Harvest Home were more strongly laid. Judge Robert Moore was secured as president, and drafted the original constitution of the Home. Mr. Samuel W. Carson, now vice-president, was also the first to fill this office. Mr. JOSEPH B. BOYD was secretary; Nehemiah Gregory, treasurer; S. W. Carson, R. H. Fenton, James Wise, Samuel Benn and James Veasey were directors. Source: Ford, Henry A., Kate B.

Page 437 -Through all the movements up to Atlanta, the Fifty-second was busily engaged, and maintained its reputation for discipline, courage and endurance. From Atlanta, it moved with Sherman to Savannah, and thence, with small loss, through Georgia and the Carolinas northward. It participated in the grand review at Washington; was mustered out there June 3,1865, and was soon after discharged at Columbus, Ohio. The following died of wounds received in action: JAMES BOYD, at Nashville, August 7, 1864. Page 662, Union Township - The following is a list of the township magistrates: JAMES BOYD, 1833. Page 663, Union Township - The Black Horse tavern was built in 1819 by JAMES BOYD on the southwest quarter of Section 26, at the junction of the two roads. It was a noted resort in early days, and an important stopping place on the Cadiz & New Philadelphia road. When wheat was hauled by teams from Harrison County to the Ohio Canal, it was a regular stopping place, and did a rushing business. A dozen wagons standing in the yard was a very common sight. After MR. BOYD, Nicholas Swenigen, Mr. Kent and Joseph Thompson were proprietors of the house. It was closed to the public years ago. Page 664, Union Township - Whisky was manufactured at several stills in the township, as it was everywhere else throughout the West in those days, and the evils resulting from its use became so marked that a firm stand was taken by some settlers against it. At the first election in the township for Justices, JAMES BOYD and James Gray, the two tavern-keepers were candidates against George Graham and John Iler, members of the Methodist Church. The inn-keepers opened a keg of "free whiskey," and by this means carried the election in their favor. The temperance element soon after rallied and obtained control, and have held it ever since. The alcoholic beverage was always an important factor at barn raisings and other public assemblages, until Joshua Leggett, Thomas Milligan and William Rutledge. Reese Baldwin and others put forth determined efforts against it and finally abolished it. DANIEL P. McGREGOR, farmer and stock- raiser, P.O. New Cumberland, was born December 5,1835 in Warren Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and obtained his education in the school at New Cumberland. He was united in marriage, March 6, 1862 with MINERVA JANE BOYD, also a native of this township. To this union were born eight children, six of whom are living ELLIOTT, MAUD, EDITH, S. RICE, ELEANOR, and RALPH. Mr. McGregor owns a finely improved and well stocked farm of 140 acres, a part of the old homestead. He devotes a great deal of his attention to the cultivation and training of fine stock. He owns several head of fine blooded stock, both horses and cattle. He and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. McGregor is a Democrat in politics. Page 520 -In 1842 about fifteen Methodists including William Hamilton and wife, Archibald A. Hamilton and wife and James McCreary and wife met at the house of the first-named, one mile south of Gnadenhutten and organized a class. For four years services were held in the barn and house of William Hamilton; then, in 1846, a frame church, 30 x 35 was erected nearly a mile farther south on Military Lot 4. The first ministers were Revs. ROBERT BOYD and William Devinney; Revs. Devinney and Dudley served the second year. Page 684, Wayne Township - A few years later, SAMUEL BOYD, from Pennsylvania, owned and dwelt upon Military Lot 1, on the western line of the township. He belonged to the United Brethren, the head of a numerous family, and a resident of the township until death. Page 364 - The jury fixed the appropriation price of Lot 199 at $14,300,and citizens of the county guaranteed the payment of the excess, $6,300. The plans of the new building (court house) filed by THOMAS BOYD were approved by the Commissioners June 26, 1882, and notice was given that sealed proposals for its erection would be received August 1. Page 623, Perry Township - It would not be uncommon in early times for the two or three taverns here to be filled to overflowing with emigrants seeking homes in this Western land. WILLIAM BOYD and Benona P. Evans were early merchants. Page 626, Perry Township - Township magistrates of Perry have been: WILLIAM BOYD, 1836. Page 968 - LOUISA is listed as widow of WILLIAM E. BOYD. She is the daughter of Isaac and Mary (Masters) True.
