  • Notes 
    • James was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (McDoel) Boyd.

      James eventually settled in Winsted, Connecticut. He first married Mary Munro and second, her step-sister, Jane.

      By today's genealogy standards, James would have been known as the "III", but back in those days, individuals were not generationally identified as "second," "third," and so on, so he is simply identified here as James Boyd.

      Some of the information on this line came from the "Annals of Winchester and Family Records", p. 312-315. The "Annals" are part of the "Beardsley & Memorial Library" collection located on Munro Place in Winsted, Connecticut.
