BOYD, THOMAS B(UTLER), Co E, private/corporal, enlisted for 3 years in Huntingdon, TN on 6/28/62 and mustered at Humboldt, TN on 8/11/62. He would have been about 39 at the time (census). Captured at Trenton, TN and paroled to Camp Chase, OH, he was exchanged but he did not return to duty. When he applied for an invalid pension he was not given a certificate, presumably because he deserted. He seems to have been born in Montgomery Co, NC about 1822 to John Henry and Judith Butler Boyd. He married Eliza Jane Haywood in 1842 and lived in Carroll and Decatur Counties. He died around 1909 and is buried in Benton Co, TN in the Old Haywood Cemetery. MR #220²
