Excerpts from the declaration of Thomas Boyd
20 Aug
1833
State
of Missouri
Calloway
County
On this twentyeth day of August in the year eighteen hundred
and
thirty three personally appeared in open court before the County
Clerk
of Calloway County now sitting,
* Thomas Boyd a resident of the said County of Calloway in the
State
of Missouri aforesaid, aged seventy two years
* I was born on the 10th of March in the year 1761 in York County
Pennsylvania
* North Carolina, to which State I removed along with my Father
and
family when I was about eight years of age.
* My Father then settled with his family in what was then called
Berk
County close to the line of Rowan County.
* I remained there with my Father and Mother until I was about
fifteen
years old when the British having landed in Georgia sent
emmisaries
and officers to the Cherokees to excite them to war
against
the Americans in which they so well succeeded that the
Cherokees
became very troublesome on the head waters of Tennessee
River
and made an attack upon the frontier settlements of North and
South
Carolina on the waters of the Catawba, the Watenee and the
Broad
River and succeeded in masacring many of the inhabitants. To
repel
them, British and Indians, a considerable force was raised of
volunteers
and drafted Militia under the of one General
Rutherford.
A brother of mine having volunteered, in order to go
along
with him, I ran away from my father, being about fifteen years
old...
* I left Berk County N.C. in the year '95 after having lived
there
from my early childhood until that time - thence I moved to
Montgomery
County Kentucky where I remained until
* 1826 when I removed thence to Calloway County Missouri where I
now
live. I am in my 73d year since the 10th day of March last.
My
Revolutionary
services commenced in seventy six when I was in by 15th
year,
so that taking my youth then and my old age now it ought not to
be required
of me to state facts with the precision and detail which
would
suppose a perfect memory; about the year and month in which my
first
services commenced I am confident that I have stated correctly …
