General Notes: Husband - Joseph Boyd

---

He came from Scotland prior to the Revolutionary war, and located at Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Becoming tired of the monotony and lack of business which prevailed there at that time, he moved to Dauphin County, where he relinquished an idea he had formed, of returning to his native land, and bought land in that county. It is related that when he expressed his determination to return to Scotland, that one of his neighbors offered him in exchange for his overcoat 600 acres of choice land, which he declined. He had a musket which was carried during the Revolutionary war by one of the neighbors, and which was loaned to the State of Pennsylvania, he receiving a bond of £5 3s, which was to be paid in case the gun was lost. Joseph Boyd's initials were carved on the cartridge box ornamenting the stock, to identify it, and after being carried through the whole war, the gun was returned to the owner and the bond surrendered. Joseph Boyd died soon after the war.
