Biography:
From Find a Grave ; NOTE: Harriet Boyd may have been buried at Woodlawn, but that is unconfirmed. She is buried in or near Green Bay. Her son James M. Boyd is buried at Woodlawn in Allouez.
--------------------
Harriet's parents relocated from London to the port city of Nantes in the spring of 1778 where her father became one of the leading American merchants doing business in France and actied as commercial agent for the State of Maryland and as consul in Nantes for the Congress. It was during this time that Catherine Nuth Johnson gave birth to daughter Harriet Johnson in Nantes on the 18th of June 1781. Harriet was baptised the following year on January 13 in the Nantois Protestant Church.
Harriet was almost 2 years old when her family returned to London in the spring of 1783, where her father served as the first American consul to England during the 1790s. The family remained in England until the fall of 1797, when 16 year old Harriet's family returned to Maryland. President Washington appointed her father Superintendent of Stamps after his return to the United States, a position Johnson held until his death in 1802.
Harriet married about 1804 to George Boyd. George Boyd was a bearer of dispatches to Ghent at the time of the treaty in 1814 which ended the War of 1812. He was later a Federal Indian Agent at Mackinac Island, Michigan by 1819. They moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin about 1832 where George Boyd served as an Indian Agent. Harriet's husband resigned as Indian Agent in 1840 and they lived the remainder of their lives in Green Bay.

Biography:
One of the older sons (if not the oldest) of Col. George Boyd and Harriet (Johnson) Boyd. Nephew of President John Quincy Adams. Joshua was born in Washington, D.C. about 1805 and named for his maternal grandfather, Joshua Johnson (1744-1802).
In August, 1814, Joshua's father was intrusted with private dispatches to the peace commissioners at Ghent, Belgium and remained in France until the spring of 1815.
In December 1818 his father received the appointment by President James Monroe as Indian agent at what was then called Michillimackinac. He left for his post early in 1819 and returned to take his wife and children to Michigan Territory in the spring of 1820 when Joshua was about 15 year old. That summer Joshua may have been one of the 4 boys enumerated as under 10 years old or the boy age 10-15 living in his father's household at Michilimackinac.
Joshua returned to Washington D.C. sometime before 1824. In that year Joshua's Aunt [soon-to-be First Lady] recommended that her nephew receive an appointment to the Navy. A letter dated October 30, 1824 from Naval officer, Isaac Chauncey, to Secretary of the Navy, Samuel Lewis Southard, recommending, at the bequest of Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, that her nephew Joshua Johnson Boyd be appointed midshipman on the United States Navy. Joshua J. Boyd became a Midshipman in the U.S. Navy on January 1st, 1825.
During his time in the Navy, there were accusations of disobedience against both Joshua and his brother John Quincy Adams Boyd. On November 12, 1826 President John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary: "Mrs Adams had told me that Joshua might be dismissed from the service, but as I have never done that with any officers, I was unwilling to begin with him. I therefore desired from Southart to order him to report himself for duty to Commodore Chauncey at the Navy yard New York with notice that upon the first act of disobedience of which he should be guilty, he would be dismissed from the service.
Joshua J. Boyd resigned his post on November 25, 1827, 20 days after his brother, Lt. John Quincy Adams Boyd, was dismissed from the Navy.
After leaving the Navy, Joshua returned to Michigan Territory where he become a fur trader and made periodical visits to Wisconsin Territory.
Joshua is believed to have married a Native American woman named Catherine Homstead sometime between 1825-1828, likely in Michigan Territory. About 1828 their daughter Catherine A. Boyd was born.
The 1830 census in Michilimackinac records his father's household as having 3 males of Joshua's age (20-29), however this does not account for his wife and oldest daughter who is thought to have been about 2 years old in 1830. Was Joshua and his new family living somewhere else?
Joshua's parents remained at Mackinac Island until 1832 when his father was transferred to the Green Bay agency where he arrived on June 2nd.
About 1832/33 a daughter, Mary Boyd was born, perhaps at Mackinac Island, Michigan Territory, perhaps in Wisconsin Territory.
On October 12, 1832 while trading in Wisconsin Territory at Sturgeon Bay, Joshua Johnson Boyd was shot and killed by an indian to whom Joshua had refused credit for trade goods. He was survived by his widow, Catherine, two daughters, Kate and Mary as well as his parents and about seven siblings.

Joshua married Homstead, Catherine Bef 1828. Catherine was born Bef 1810; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Obituary:
Died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. H. B. Tanner of the South Side, Tuesday, February 23, 1897, James M. Boyd aged eighty-one years, ten months and ten days. ...
Mr. Boyd was a man of strict integrity, and one who believed in doing every thing well. He practiced in his life the maxim "if a thing was worth doing at all, it was worth doing well." His early relation with the Indians gave him a good command of their language, and as he spoke several, he was employed for years as government interpreter.
Funeral services were held at Dr. Tanner's residence at 10:30 Thursday morning, and the remains taken to Green Bay for interment in the family lot in Woodlawn Cemetery.
------------
Lieutenant James Madison Boyd was born in Washington, D. C., January 13, 1816. He came to the island of Michillimackinac with his father and family, in 1820, and lived there until 1832, when the family removed to Green Bay. He enlisted for the Black Hawk War as lieutenant, leaving Green Bay July 26, 1832. After the close of the war, he acted as interpreter for his father until 1839, when he married Maria H. Lawe, a daughter of Judge John Lawe, of Green Bay. Living on the south side of the Fox river, between Green Bay and Depere, he followed farming until 1873, when he removed to Depere, and afterward to Kaukauna, where Mrs. Boyd died in 1879.
Of their large family of children, only two are living at present,--a daughter, married to the writer hereof, and a son, N. C. B. Boyd. Their sons John and Joshua Boyd served in the last war. Joshua received injuries resulting in the amputation of both feet, from which he died in one of the hospitals in New York; John contracted consumption in the army, from which he died soon after coming home.
