There are two entries for the Boyd family in the 1862 Nevada Territory Census records -
the handwriting on the two documents is different, so it looks like nothing more than an
error. The one set, looks like "Boya" instead of Boyd but I'm sure
they're the same. There are some subtle differences between the two records. These,
by the way, are courtesy of Patricia Scott, who has just finished transcribing them:

In the 1862 Directory for Nevada:

In the Douglas County Vitals, I have:

Andrew E. Boyd marrying Mary Dudley on 4/18/1891 in Genoa.
In the Genoa Courier, dated 12/26/1890 - there is a reference to the wife of J.B. Boyd
giving birth to a son on 12/21/1890.

Boyd, J. B.
Died: 11 Aug 1893

I didn't find any burial or cemetery records for him.
Hope this helps!
