On July 12, 1866, Captain Boyd was happily married to Miss Annie, daughter of the Hon. S. T. Harrison, who served his county in the State legislature. In 1916 they celebrated their fiftieth marriage anniversary.
Captain Boyd was a presiding elder in the Presbyterian Church and loyal in his devotion to its service, as he was to every cause he espoused.
He was a good man, and with hand and heart he was ever ready to assist the needy.
He was Commander of Ross-Ector Camp, No. 513, U. C. V., at the time of his death and had ever been true to the convictions of 1861-65.
