Robert C. Boyd ~ Margaret Jane Taylor

Kentucky to Indiana to Iowa to Utah

ROBERT CALVIN BOYD /1810/ KENTUCKY /INDIANA /IOWA/ UTAH

ROBERT CALVIN BOYD - B 1810 KY - D Aug 9, 1871, Davis Co., IA married June 24, 1830 in Fayette Co., IN to MARGARET JANE TAYLOR -B June 9, 1871 in Warren Co., OH, D June 16, 1895 Davis Co., IA

Children: all born in IN. The family all moved to Iowa in 1860
James Patton Boyd 1833 -1917 in Montana (Eleanor Woodfill)
Anker Boyd 1834- 1889 IA (Ananias Landes)
John S. Boyd 1837-1898 IA (Mary J. Harbert)
Robert S. Boyd 1850-? living in Utah when mother died in 1895 (unknownwife)
Amanda J. Boyd 1852 - died before mother in 1895. (unknown if married but was age 18 in last census I found of her)

Do not know Who Robert's parents or siblings were. Shortly after their marriage in 1830 they went to Putnam Co., IN.

In an old article written about the son James Patton Boyd, it says that "James Boyd's great grandfather was John Calvin Boyd (a Calvinist minister in Ireland who was named for the Calvinist movement, a forerunner of the Presbyterian religion) Samuel Boyd, his son, as born in New York City a few weeks after the parents arrived from Ireland. Robert Calvin Boyd was born in Ohio, and James Patton was born in Indiana. Margaret Jane Taylor Boyd (James' mother) was a first cousin to Zachary Taylor, general and hero of the Mexican War and later a United States President."

Note: All census records show Robert Calvin born in KY...wife in OH. She may have been a cousin of Zachary Taylor, but doubtful a first cousin. The information for the article was given by Robert's grandchildren, who probably did not know him, so can't vouch for any of the information. Other papers say that Margaret was of the KY Taylor's...so ??????

Any information would be appreciated.
