 Includes NotesNotes for Samuel Boyd, Rev:
Event: Anecdote 1801 KY
Note:

During the fame Kane Revival, in Kentucky, he made a profession
of the Christian religion, and during the remainder of his life
he labored faithfully, as a minister, for the salvation of
others. During a missionary tour to the Indians, he again came
near losing his life. An Indian boy thoughtlessly touched a
burning brand to a keg of powder, blowing the rude hut to
pieces, killing two children, and injuring Samuel Boyd, who was
laid out as dead. He recovered, and for more than a score of
years was an active laborer in the cause of his Master. He was
a member of the Christian Church, then often termed
"Newlights". As a public speaker he was earnest and animated,
for one of so limited education advantages was an efficient
Christian teacher. His wife lived to the age of 88 years, and
died a Christian, 31 October 1852. They had ten children; all
but one having lived to be married, and settled as farmers and farmer's wives, and all except one in Wayne county.
