John Parker Boyd (December 21, 1764 – October 4, 1830) was an officer in the United States Army at various periods from 1786 to the end of the War of 1812. He attained the rank of Brigadier General and commanded during the American defeat at the Battle of Crysler's Farm.
==Early life==
Boyd was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts on December 21, 1764.〔Spencer C. Tucker, (The Encyclopedia Of the War Of 1812 ), 2012, page 74〕 Too young to serve in the American Revolution, but decided upon a military career, he served in the militia〔Robert Malcomson, (Historical Dictionary of the War of 1812 ), 2006, page 52〕 and joined the Army as an Ensign in 1786.〔John C. Fredriksen, (American Military Leaders ), 1999, page 70〕
He served in the force sent to counter Shays' Rebellion, and resigned after three years in the Army to serve as a Soldier of Fortune in the army of the Nizam of Hyderabad, in Central India.〔Hans Hägerdal, (Responding to the West: Essays on Colonial Domination and Asian Agency ), 2009, page 40〕 Boyd was a highly successful cavalry commander,〔Ronald Rosner, “John Parker Boyd: The Yankee Mughal,” Asian Affairs Vol. 34 Issue 3 (Nov 2003), 297〕 but was discharged in July 1798, due to his "refractoriness, disobedience, and unreasonableness."〔William Dalrymple, ''White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India'', New York: Viking, 2002 p. 112.〕〔Spencer C. Tucker, The Encyclopedia Of the War Of 1812, page 74〕
