The gravestone very clearly shows a first name of Louanna. I will continue to research.
Ancestry.com transcribed Illinois County Marriage Records 1800-1940 for son Joseph L Boyd has Lommer Ingraham as his mothers name.
1880 Hamilton Co, Illinois census - Laura C Boyd age 66, listed as Mother is household of Lafayette Boyd age 32 (this is the age of Joseph L Boyd - likely Lafayett was his middle name)
1870 Hamilton Co, Illinois census - William Boyd age 67 with Luina Boyd age 55
1860 Hamilton Co, Illinois census - William age 55 with Luanna Boyd age 36.
1850 Hamilton Co, Illinois census - William Boyd age 50 with Susannah C Boyd age 36. There appears to be two sets of children listed. I am wondering if William married someone prior to marrying Susannah, as she would have been only 15 at the birth of James W Boyd (oldest son age 21). Also, in the 1850 census the ages of the children are separated - the first from ages 21 down to 9, and the second starting at age 12 down to 2. Perhaps Susannah may have also previously married.
