Margaret Boyd
Margaret Boyd (maiden name unknown) was born around 1817 in England. She married John Boyd, and they had at least ten children: Archibald, born around 1834; Robert, born around 1836; Joseph, born around 1843; William, born around 1848; John, born around 1851; Walton, born around 1854; Charles, born around 1856; Margaret, born around 1859; James, born around 1861; and Frederick, born around 1863. They eventually immigrated to America and settled in Nauvoo, Illinois.
 
They moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in the 1840s, and her husband worked as a carpenter there. They moved to Frederick, Illinois, in the 1850s, and by 1860, they owned $200 of real estate and $50 of personal property. A decade later, their wealth had grown to $500 of real estate and $300 of personal property. She died sometime after 1870.
