General Notes: Husband - John Boyd

---

He was born about 1747, in County Antrim, Ireland, where he learned the tailor's trade, and was married. The young people soon thereafter sailed to America, and John Boyd entered into the American struggle for Independence. He enlisted in North Carolina, serving seven years under Gen. Greene and Capt. Smith, was employed as a scout much of the time, and received several wounds. When the war was ended he came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, locating between Cross Creek village and West Middletown, and there followed his trade. In 1793 he moved to Hanover township, Beaver County, and in 1817 located near Harlem Springs, Carroll County, Ohio, where he remained until about 1840, then returning to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, died soon afterward, and was buried in the King's Creek cemetery.
In politics he was a Democrat, and in religion a member of the Presbyterian Church. [CBRWC, 1115]

Soon after his arrival in Pennsylvania, he was married. [CBRWC, 626]
