Son of Simeon Boyd and Mary Greer. Husband of Elizabeth Thornhill (daughter of Elisha & Mary Carr Thornhill).

He has two conflicting burial sites. Pvt. Jefferson A. Boyd (b. Pike County, MS, 1832-d. in service, Chickasaw County, MS, 1862), Co. K ("Brent Rifles," raised in Pike County, MS), 38th MS Infantry (Mounted). Enlisted April 26, 1862, at Holmesville, Pike County, MS, at age 30. Died June 29, 1862, at General Hospital, Okolona, Chickasaw County, MS, of disease. A "Register of Effects of Deceased Soldiers turned over to Quartermasters, CSA," states that he left $2.75 behind when he died. No further information in his military file. Southern Patriot!

He also appears on FindaGrave in the Wiley Elliott Cemetery (also called the Walter Bacot Cemetery), 2 mi. NE of Enon, Walthall County, MS, with no marker pictured.

His third memorial is this one at the Bogue Chitto Baptist Church Cemetery, Topisaw, Pike County, MS, which listing shows his US "shield"-style veteran's marker, which states "Pvt., Co. K, 38 Miss. Regt., US Army." Marker should read "Pvt., Co. K, 38th MS Infantry (Mounted), CSA."

Sons name is William Jefferson Boyd, Jr. so his name would be William Jefferson Boyd, Sr.
