1890 Portrait and Biographical Album of
Will County, Illinois
On May 6, 1861 in Fairfield, Herkimer County, New York the rites of wedlock were celebrated between our subject (James S. Boyd) and Miss Mary E., daughter of James and Nellie (Peacock) Young. The bride was born in the town in which her marriage took place, March 28, 1840 and is the tenth in a family consisting of eight sons and three daughters.
Like her husband she has in her veins the blood of old families from Northern Ireland, her parents having been natives of County Antrim, whence they emigrated to America in an early day. After having lived many years in Herkimer County they came to the Prairie State locating in Stephenson County, where both breathed their last.
Mrs. Boyd possesses the natural abilities of the race from which she sprung and has had them strengthened and developed by careful home training and good educational advantages. She is therefore a woman of ripe intelligence, well skilled in useful domestic arts and fitted for a sphere of usefulness. She is a member of the Presbyterian Church and has carefully instilled into her children the principles of right living.
Her family includes the following living children: Alexander C., Margaret W., Estelia M., Nellie J., J. Harry, Elizabeth, Fred C., Mary M., Lee E. and Belle C. L. One child is deceased. Estelia M. is now the wife of Charles Scharf of Joliet.
