Anita, I checked American Brutus and Kauffman says that Herold "gave his friend's name as Tyson" to Dr. Mudd. In Port Conway, Herold told Bainbridge, Ruggles and Jett "that his name was David E. Boyd and that his brother was John W. Boyd."

Will Garrett, one of William H. Garrett's sons, says in "True Story of the Capture of John Wilkes Booth" that Herold "introduced this man to my father as John W. Boyd..." In The Last Confederate Heroes, Bill Richter has Jett introducing Booth as "Mr. John W. Boyd, a Confederate soldier..."

Can you imagine the injured assassin of President Lincoln being dragged into the Garrett children's games?
