JOHN A. BOYD, M. D., BREAUX BRIDGE.--Dr. Boyd was born in Newbury district,
South Carolina.  He is the son of John Boyd and Mary Wilson, both natives of
South Carolina.  He was reared in his native county and attended the schools
of that place, from which he received a thorough academic education, chiefly
at Beaver Dam Academy.  After completing his literary studies he began the
study of medicine under Dr. William G. Dierson, of Franklin, Tennessee, where
he pursued his studies for four years, when he entered the medical college at
Lexington, Kentucky, and, after attending one session, received his diploma. 
He began practice in Giles county, Tennessee, and removed after a short while
to Hines county, Mississippi.  After practising [sic] in this place for three
years, he emigrated to Breaux Bridge, St. Martin parish, Louisiana, where he
continued to practice.  The Doctor stands high in his profession, and has a
large practice at this place.  He is united in marriage with Miss Belzere
Ledoux, daughter of August and Ludsin (Cormier) Ledoux, of St. Martin parish. 
They have two living children,  John L., and  Boyd.
