some extras…
Benjamin Franklin BOYD (called Frank), left New Jersey and went West in the Gold Rush. The 1880 U.S. Federal Census for Gold Hill, Boulder, Colorado shows he was an unmarried miner living in a house with other miners. When he came back to New Jersey he became a farmer, in the same area where his ancestors had farmed.
Supposedly Johanna Augusta ANDERSON (called Augusta) went to Minnesota before Colorado. My grandmother remembers her talking about how cold it was there, and how she pronounced “Minnesota” with a Swedish accent.
