James Madison Boyd was born in Washington, D,C., the fourth son of Col. George and Harriet Johnson Boyd. The family moved to remote Mackinaw Island when James was 4 in 1818.

He enlisted in the Black Hawk War, leaving Green Bay July 26, 1832. After the War, he acted as an interpreter for his father until 1839, when he married Maria M. Lawe, daughter of Judge John Lawe of Green Bay.

The family lived on the south side of the Fox River between Green Bay and DePere, running a sawmill and farming their 400 acres until 1873. They moved to DePere, then Kaukauna, where Mrs. Boyd died in 1879.
