Robert moved to Henry county at a very early day and built a cabin in the woods where James' residence now stands. He was a very worthy citizen and greatly respected by all who knew him, but he was down in the midst of his years by a malignant fever that visited that neighborhood in 1852 and '53. the disease was so fatal in its nature that it took away more than fifty per cent of those who were attacked. Several homes were entirely broken up when the disease subsided.

Samuel Boyd, from Tennessee, settled, in the spring of 1811, about 2 1/2 miles north-west of the present town of Jacksonburg. He was probably the first settler in the township. His land was that at present owned by Jacob Metzker's heirs.

Boyds from the book "Pioneer Life" "Autobiography and Sermons of Elder Elijah Martindale" also Pioneer History of the Boyd Family" Belle Stanford, 1892 published in Indianapolis, Indiana by Carlon and Hollenbeck, Printers.

Samuel Boyd was a large and somewhat corpulent man with a ruddy face and dark hair before it silvered with age. The loss of his left eye was a great deformity to his person as he never tried to conceal the blemish by shades or any kind of glasses. I can't say they were not in use for I think it was just about this time, or earlier, that Goldsmith represents the hopeful son of the vicar of Wakefield as making sale of the family nag and buying a whole gross of green spectacles. My grandfather chose to wear a path of black silk over the empty socket and the last time I sat on his knee and was bearded by his kisses I thought he was awfully sweet but still didn't like the looks of that eye.
Oh I wish we had a cycloramic view of those wounded, starving, bleeding-feeted soldiers marching over the frozen ground bowed down with disaster and defeat, yet willing to die in the last ditch to purchase a land of freedom.
In view of all this, will we surrender our rights as citizens of the great commwealth and allow our country so dearly bought to be ruled by monopolists and millionaires? Will we allow corruption, fraud, sham and boodle to take place of an honest election? What worse chains could England have forged for us?
The author of my history (Elizabeth Martindale) says that when she was seven years old her parents moved from Madison county, Kentucky, to a place on the Cumberland river called
"Horseshoe Bend". After remaining there for a while they moved to Adair county, which was then a wilderness part of Kentucky. Samuel Boyd commenced the work of exhortation and soon became an earnest minister of the Gospel, and what is most worth recording, he made a life correspond to his profession, striving to do unto others as he would have them do unto him.
In the year 1811, Samuel Boyd learned that valuable land had come into martet in the territory of Indiana. He disposed of his land and some of his stock and with a wife and nine children left for Indiana where they settled at Jacksonburg. Samuel Boyd died 27 November 1835 at the age of seventy-two years.

When Samuel Boyd moved to Indiana he had five sons. Robert, the youngest was thirteen years old. James, John, William and Samuel were stalwart young men, with the exception of a rheu-
matic affection which seemed to be a family disease. He also had four daughters. All of them settled on farms in Wayne and Henry counties, Indiana. All but Isabel, the youngest daughter
lived and died in those counties. Most are buried at the old Jacksonburg cemetery. When Mrs.
Edna Swiggert, of Indianapolis, daughter of John and Caroline Smith, and granddaughter of Abiram Boyd, visits that old burying ground, she can stand by the headstones of three generations of grandfathers.

Samuel was of scotch decent. His father, James Boyd, had previously emigrated thither from Virginia. Samuel came near to losing his life by a ball from a Tory gun during the Revolutionary War. He recovered, however, with the loss of his left eye, and servered through the war, having enlisted at the age of 16. Samuel married Isabella, who was also of Scotish decent, in 1785.

To provide a home for his nine children, he removed to Whitewater Valley, and in November of 1811 he built a tent of bark and limbs of trees on martindale creek, 2 miles north of Jacksonburg, where he entered a quarter section of land, on which he lived until his death in 1835.

History of Wayne County, Indiana, 1872

Samuel Boyd was born in Craven Co., S. C., May 20, 1763. He was of Scotch
descent. His father, James Boyd, had previously emigrated thither from
Virginia, and had six sons and two daughters. The father and one son died in
a Tory prison during the Revolutionary war; and Samuel, the subject of this
sketch, came near losing his life by a ball from a Tory gun. He recovered,
however, with the loss of his left eye, and served through the war, having
enlisted at the age of 16. He was married, December 12, 1785, to Isabella
Higgins, who also was of Scotch descent, and a not distant relative of Robert
Burns, the poet. She did not forget, through life, that, when a young woman,
she danced with Andrew Jackson. In 1788, Samuel Boyd, with his wife and one
child, moved to Kentucky, where they lived 23 years. To provide homes for his
nine children, he removed to Whitewater Valley, Indiana; and in November, 1811,
he built a tent of bark and limbs of trees on Martindale's creek, 2 miles north
of Jacksonburgh, where he entered a quarter section of land, on which he lived
until his death, November 27, 1835, aged 72 years.

In 1801, during the famed Kane revival, in Kentucky, he made a profession of
the Christian religion, and during the remainder of his life he labored

faithfully, as a minister, for the salvation of others. During a missionary
tour to the Indians, he again came near losing his life. An Indian boy
thoughtlessly touched a burning brand to a keg of powder, blowing the rude
hut to pieces, killing two children, and injuring Samuel Boyd, who was laid
out as dead. He recovered, and for more than a score of years was an active
laborer in the cause of his Master. He was a member of the Christian church,
then often termed "Newlights." As a public speaker he was earnest and
animated, and for one of so limited educational advantages was an efficient
Christian teacher. His wife lived to the age of 88 years, and died a
Christian, October 31, 1852. They had ten children; all but one having lived
to be married, and settled as farmers and farmers' wives, and all except one
in Wayne county, Indiana.
1. James, who died in Richmond, September 29, 1863.
2. John, who, at the age of 82, resides in Dublin.
3. William, who died in Harrison township, September 22, 1846.
4. Elizabeth, wife of Elijah Martindale, lives at Newcastle, aged 78.
5. Samuel K., who resides at Centerville.
6. Laird, who died in infancy.
7. Robert, who settled in Henry county, and died there,February 24, 1853.
8. Martha, wife of Joseph Lewis, at Williamsburg, aged 71.
9. Mary, wife of Abner M. Bradbury, Cambridge City, aged 67.
10. Isabella Ladd, who died in Marion county, September 16, 1854.

These nine heads of families had 92 children; and these have so multiplied that it is
safe to estimate the descendants of Samuel and Isabella Boyd at the present date
(1871), at 550 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grand
children. At a social reunion of the Boyd family in 1861, 274 of them sat down to a
dinner, more than one hundred and fifty being absent.

Samuel was engaged in the battle on Bush River in which he lost his left eye, at the capyure of Augusta, Ga. and in the seige of ninety-six. Samuel enlisted in SC in the spring of 1780 as a private and served one year under Captains Thomas and Earle and Col. Roebuck. Again in the spring of 1781, he enlisted as private and served one year under Col. Hays and in the spring of 1782 he enlisted as private under Captain Duvall and Col. Pickens serving until December 1782.
While Samuel was engaged in a skirmish the company was captured and he was left for dead, a ball having passed through his temple taking out his right eye.

To provide home for his nine children, he removed to Whitewater Valley; and in November, 1811, he built a tent of bark and limbs of trees on Martindale's creek, 2 miles north of Jacksonburg, where he entered a quarter section of land, on which he lived until his death. Samuel applied for a pension which was allowed and he drew the pension until his death. Samuel with his wife and one child, moved to Kentucky, where they lived 23 years. Samuel's children, these nine heads of families had 92 children; and these had so multiplied that it is safe to estimate the descendants of Samuel and Isabella Boyd at the present date (1871), at 550 children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. At a social reunion of the Boyd family in 1861, 274 of them sat down to a dinner, more than one hundred and fifty being absent.
