PREFACE.
The desire to know something of the origin, character and
work of their ancestors, led the three compilers of this book, inde-
pendently of each other, to gather such information concerning
their immediate line as was available. Research of public and
private records, begun some twenty years ago, was carried on as a
pleasant recreation, occupying the leisure moments of active busi-
ness life. A few years ago, becoming acquainted with each other's
work, the compilers decided to combine the results of their investi-
gations, with a view of eventual publication.
By extensive inquiry and correspondence throughout the country
with members of the family, wherever located, much the larger part
of the record has been obtained. Careful examination of town and
other public records has been made in places where the families
have long been located, and the results have verified and confirmed
the individual record, which makes a continuous and fairly com-
plete history of the family from the time that Thomas Boyden, one
of the founders of New England, landed in 1634 to the present
day.
His associates think it is but fair to say that the final arrange-
ment of the material, its preparation for the press and the super-
vision of the printing have been the willing labor of Mr. Merrill
N. Boyden.
The large number of Boyden ancestors who were Revolutionary
soldiers, and the re-enlistment into the Continental army " for the
war " by many of them, is notable, and attests their patriotic spirit.
4 Preface.
The detail of service rendered by them may be found in " Massa-
chusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War," Vol. II,
published by the State. Certificates of a soldier's record may be
obtained at the Archives in the State House, Boston.
The records are arranged by consecutive generations, of which
the emigrant ancestor is the first, his children the second, and so
on. The small figures at the right of the names designate the gen-
eration ; the large figure at the left of the name is the distinctive
number of that person, whose further record will appear in the next
generation ; the absence of a figure indicates that nothing more is
known. Towns and cities, when the State is not mentioned, are to
be understood as being in Massachusetts, except as governed by
the context.
Discrepancies between dates as here given, and those in certain
family records, may perhaps be discovered ; it has often been diffi-
cult to decide which of the conflicting reports received should be
accepted ; it is proper to say, however, that nothing has been given
except on authority believed to be reliable. Corrections or infor-
mation which will aid in perfecting the record will be gladly
received by Mr. Wallace C. Boyden, Newtonville, Mass., or by
Mr. Merrill N. Boyden, Old State House, Boston, Mass. A few
errors, discovered since the pages on which they occur were
printed, are noted on page 237.
Abbreviations used are : b. born, d. died, m. married, unm.,
unmarried, bap. baptized, pub. published intention of marriage,
dau. daughter.
.'[HOMAS BOYDEN
AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
Thomas Boyden is the ancestor of all who by birth have
borne the name in America, with a few exceptions occurring
during the last fifty years. He embarked for New England
in the ship * Francis ' from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England,
in April, 1634, having taken the oath of allegiance and
supremacy before His Majesty's officers according to the
order of the Lords of his Privy Council. He was then
twenty-one years of age, as stated in the list of passengers.
Everything known clearly indicates that the family was
long established in England. James Guilt, in his Encyclo-
pedia of Architecture in a list of famous early Architects,
gives the name of William Boyden as Architect of the
Chapel of the Virgin at St. Alban's Abbey in the 13th cen-
tury. The surname has frequently been found in English
records during the past three centuries, and there is a village
in Suffolk called Boyden, where are located certain estates
enumerated in the will of an English nobleman.
Of the parentage, birthplace, or history of Thomas previous
to embarkation, nothing has been found. No mention of that
period of his life has appeared in any existing records of the
several towns where he resided, viz. : Scituate, Watertown,
Boston, Groton, and Medfield. From histories of those
(s)
Thomas Boyden and
places, and from private, town, and other public records, the
following facts have been gleaned : —
In 1635 he was in the service of William Gilson, of Scitu-
ate (Plymouth Colony), who was a large tax-payer in 1633,
one of the founders of the church there in January, 1635,
and builder of the first windmill in the Colony for grinding
corn, which before that time was pounded. As William Gil-
son located in that place about 163 1, it is not an improbable
conjecture that some previous acquaintance existed, and in-
duced Thomas to emigrate and engage in his employ.
The admission of Thomas to the church in Scituate, May
I7> 1635, is found in the church records. Just how long
he remained there, and when or where he was married to
Frances , his first wife, is unknown. He next appears
as living in Watertown, where the birth of a son Thomas,
Sept. 26, 1639, is recorded in the town records. He trans-
ferred his church membership to the First Church in Water-
town, and was made a Freeman May 23, 1647. Three other
children are recorded as having been born in Watertown.
In 1650 he was of Boston, as appears in a deed dated
27. I. 1650, granting and conveying a certain lot of land in
Watertown, of thirty acres more or less, to Wm. Clarke of
Watertown, recorded in Suffolk Deeds, Lib. I. He continued
to live in Boston for several years, and two children were
born there and baptized in the First Church, as appears in
the church and town records. The death of his wife Frances
stands in Boston records as occurring March 17, 1658, and
is also found in the Medfield records. On Nov. 3, 1658, he
was married in Boston by Gov. Bellingham to Hannah (Phil-
lips) Morse, widow of Joseph Morse. The Boston records
also show that "at a general town meeting, upon public
notice from house to house, town officers were chosen 12. i.
1659/60." Thomas Boyden was at that time chosen one of
the Highway Surveyors. This is the only public service
rendered by him, of which any record has been found.
By a deed dated Feb. 14, 1659, Thomas Boyden, of Boston,
and Hannah, his wife, granted and conveyed unto Joshua
His Descendants.
Scottow, seven acres of upland and meadow in Muddy River
(now Brookline) in Boston, entered and recorded Aug. 22,
1660, in Suffolk Deeds, Lib. Ill, p. 390.
In 1660 there was a settlement of the Morse estate, and
the eldest son having received his portion, the Court allowed
Thomas Boyden to improve the estates of the rest of his
wife's children till they should be of age. It was afterwards
agreed that he should have all the lands and houses, and pay
to each of the children, when of age, the sum of £,26. 13. 4.,
and he was to see that the " sonnes " were taught to read
and write. For the execution of this obligation he, " late of
Boston, now of Medfield," gave a bond to the Judge of Pro-
bate in the sum of ;^i8o, dated June 27, 1665.
On the I2th of Sept., 1662, Thomas Boyden of Medfield
and Hannah, his wife, sold "their dwelling house, barn, gar-
den, and orchard ground thereto belonging, and lately dwelt
in, situate at the entrance of Sudbury Lane, Boston, to Simon
Lynde of Boston, Merchant," and conveyed the premises by
a deed recorded in Suffolk Deeds, Lib, IV, p. 61. He re-
moved at some unknown date to Groton, where he had an
original proprietor's right of seven acres of land, and was
living there Sept. 21, 1666, when he bought of Benjamin
Crispe of Watertown, a dwelling house, etc., with seven
acres, and several other parcels of land amounting to ninety-
two acres. July 25, 1670, he, then of Watertown, sold to
Martin Townsend for ;£6o, the house and land he bought of
Benj. Crisp6 ; also two other lots containing seventy-three
acres. The house in Medfield, which originally belonged to
the Morse heirs, and which became the Boyden homestead,
was on what is now Pound Street, The town records show
that in 1678 he subscribed "one bushel of wheat to the new
brick college" (Harvard), joining many other citizens con-
tributing similar commodities in aid of a building partly
completed. In 1682 he was chosen tithing-man* in Medfield,
* The tithing-man of Massachusetts was, primarily, the head man of a neigh-
borhood of ten famiUes, at least ; elected by the inhabitants in their several
precincts, as was provided for by the Act of the General Court in 1679. He
8 Thomas Boyden and
after which nothing more is said of him. His wife Hannah
died Oct. 3, 1676. No record of his death has been found,
nor any settlement of his estate. Their children — the first
four born in Watertown, the last two in Boston — were :
2. i. Thomas,^ b. Sept. 26, 1639.
ii. Mary,^ b. Oct. 15, 1641.

SECOND GENERATION.
2. Thomas,^ son of Thomas (i) and Frances Boyden, was
b. Sept. 26, 1639, in Watertown ; d. Nov. 15, 17 19, in Groton ;
m. Martha, eldest dau. of Richard and Martha Holden, b.
Jan. 15, 1646, d. Mar. 18, 1687, in Charlestown. Her father
was a fellow-passenger with the senior Thomas Boyden, in
the ship "Francis," and d. in Groton Mar. i, 1691, "aged,
infirm and a widower." Children :
i. Martha,' b. July 14, 1667, in Watertown ; m. Dec. 27,

him.
was not a collector of the tithes, it seems, as the name might imply, but a con-
servator of the peace, having an oversight of his particular families, in gen-
eral, of their delinquencies and ill-behavior. The duties of this official appear
to have been distinguished from that of a constable in that it had a more
intimate control and oversight of families and the morals of their respective
neighborhoods, having a greater home power, more of the character of a
fatherly inspection and guidance.
His Descendants.
The births of the first five children were obtained from
the Woburn town records, against which the following entry
also appears : — "These five children of Thomas and Martha
Boyden were entered here, by their mother's request, be-
cause of their moving to and fro in the Indian War. Some
of them were never recorded anywhere else, and the rest of
the records were lost." The birth of the last child, Ben-
jamin, is taken from the Charlestown records, and it is prob-
able that he died young. In the Registry of Deeds, Middle-
sex Co., the following records appear: — "Jan. 12, 1714/15,
Thomas Boyden of Groton, to son John Boyden, now residing
in Dedham, Co. of Suffolk, parcel of land in Groton." " May
29, 1 7 14, Thomas Boyden of Groton, a parcel of land to
Jonathan Boyden of same town."
3. Jonathan,^ son of Thomas (i) and Frances Boyden,
was b. Feb. 20, 1652, in Boston ; d. May 30, 1732; m. Sept.
26, 1673, Mary, eldest dau. of Joseph and Alice Clark ; Joseph
was one of the earliest settlers of Dedham, and one of the
thirteen who undertook the settlement of Medfield. Mary
was b. Mar. 12, 1649, i'^ Dedham, and was the mother of
all his children. He m. 2nd, Anne , who died 1735.

pears on the list of proprietors of Medfield in 1675. He

was the only one of the family who removed to Medfield
with the father. There is no record of the settlement of his
father's estate, but it seems to have been transferred to him
in some way. He was prominent in town affairs, serving as
Selectman four years, and chairman of the committee to pro-
test against the division of the town in 1712. He was in
full communion with the church prior to 1697 ; became Cap-
tain in the Militia in 1712, and was Representative to the
General Court in 1715.

Capt. Jonathan Boyden acquired considerable wealth, and
was highly esteemed by his townsmen, serving them as Select-
man for several years. He died in the year 1749, as the
Probate Records give the appointment, on Dec. 26, 1749, of
an Administrator "for the Estate of the late Jonathan Boy-

Joseph Boyden (6) removed to that part of Dedham which
later was set off as the town of Needham. In connection
with his removal, the following letter to the Governor of
12 TJiomas Boy den and
Massachusetts will be of interest, as he was mentioned in the
list of "persons gone," sent with the letter: —
Groton July 9. 1707.
May it please your Excellency, according to your Excellency's
commands, we have sent an account of those who are actually
removed, or are meditating of it. Our people are reduced to that
degree, that they find themselves unable to subsist any longer, ....
would pray your Excellency either to grant liberty for their re-
move, or that they may be reduced here entirely to garrison of the
town militia for the preservation of the frontiers. We thankfully
acknowledge your Excellency's great care of us hitherto, and would
pray the continuance of your regards, without which we are an un-
done people. We take leave to subscribe

Joseph Boyden was chosen a selectman of Needham 1721,
and also, the same year, one of three custodians of a fund
of " Eaight score pounds " received by an Act of the General
Court, for the "use of the Town and School."
On August 12, 1735, he was a tavern keeper in Sutton,
and in 1736 he and his wife were dismissed from the Church
in Needham and recommended to the Church in Sutton.
He removed to Worcester in 1738, where he had bought
"a tract of land on the south side of said town," in a
part known as " Bogachoge," of a hundred acres more or
less. In the deed by the grantor, Abisha Rice, Joseph is
styled Innholder, of Dedham. In 1740 he conveyed this land
to his sons Daniel and John, " with buildings thereon where
I now dwell," reserving a home and the support of himself
and wife for life. This property has since been known as
the "Old Boyden place."

In the old cemetery of Groton there are only three stones
inscribed with a Boyden name, viz. : Josiah, Eunice, his wife,
and Samuel, his son. On that of Josiah this line appears :
" Also five sons and three daughters, all lying near this
place." There must have been several other children whose
names were unrecorded, as most of the above survived him
many years.

Daniel (21) settled on a farm about 1740 in the south part
of Worcester, removing thence from Dedham. His name
first appeared in the tax and jury lists of Worcester in March,
1 741. Later, he served the town as Selectman several years.
He was a proprietor of the First Parish Church, from the
time of settling until the section where he lived was made
the "South Precinct," in 1776, when a new parish was
created and a new church organized, which he actively pro-
moted and sustained through life. In 1778 this parish and
others became a township, named Ward, which in 1837 was
changed to Auburn. Daniel and his brother John were
among the original proprietors of Guilford, Vt., with other
citizens of Worcester.
His son William was a pioneer settler in Dummerston, Vt.,
and became a man of affairs. He was a prosperous farmer,
and influential in supporting school, church and civil matters.
He left a valuable estate, and named his wife Joanna and
nephew Asa as executors of his will. He had no children,
but had adopted Asa, son of his brother Darius, when he was
five years of age, and also adopted several orphan girls.

Joshua (26), after the death of his father, appears to have
taken up his abode with his grandfather, Capt. Jonathan,
upon whose death in 1732 he inherited the homestead. It
is certain that Joshua was living in Pound street, near South,
in 1735. He was a housewright, and had perhaps assisted
in building the house. He was Sealer of Weights and Meas-
ures in 1742, and Selectman in 1755, 1757 and 1758. In
1762 he deeded the homestead to his son Asa, and removed
to " Rutland District," that part known as the town of Barre,
Mass., where he was admitted to the church by letter from
the Medfield church.

Seth Boyden (27), the ancestor of the Foxborough Boy-
dens, bought (May 25, 1737) 268| acres of the so-called "Dor-
chester Lands," being in the " Forty Fifth Lot," held in
common, and lying in that part of Stoughton (then in Suffolk
County) which was incorporated later, with parts of other
towns, into the town of Foxborough, in Norfolk County,
paying for the land ;^470 6s. 2,d.
By this and subsequent purchases he acquired a control-
ling interest in about six hundred acres of land, which was,
however, by allowance for "bad land," rated as about 437
acres. He appears to have been the local representative
and active spirit of the " Proprietors of the Forty-fifth lot "
from 1739 to 1758, and possibly later, in the development of
its iron industry.
Hundreds of tons of the ore were dug from these " Lands "
and sold by each of the several owners annually, under restric-
tions imposed and rights granted by the proprietors at their
meetings. The records of these meetings are still in exist-
ence, and show Seth to have been a man of energy and
purpose, careful and methodical in his habits, and possess-
ing the confidence of his fellow proprietors, many of whom
lived in Walpole, Medfield, or other adjoining towns.
In 1750 he was collector for the Second Ministerial Pre-
cinct of Stoughton, and his accounts and Rate-book cover-
ing the service rendered are to-day an evidence of his care
in business matters entrusted to him.
24 Thomas Boyden and
His name appears for the first time on the voting list
of Stoughton in the year 1742, and it is probable that he
removed to Stoughton at about that date, and built the
house and cleared the ground to which in 1744 he brought
his wife, Elizabeth Turner.
A family tradition says that he first built a small log cabin
against the great rock on the old farm, and then planted an
orchard and built his house near by, some of the stones of
which still remain.

Josiah moved to Deerfield, probably in 1762. Jan. 12,
1767, a petition of the inhabitants of the South-west Division,
to be set off into a township, was granted by vote of the
His Descendants. 29
town of Deerfield ; among the petitioners the names of
Josiah and John Boyden appear. The new town was incor-
porated June 17, 1767, as Conway, and the first meeting held
on Aug. 24, 1767, when the organization was completed and
town officers chosen ; among them was Josiah Boyden. He
was probably the second man who settled there, and his son
David was the first child born in the limits of what became
Conway. His daughter Mary (who married Medad Critten-
den) was born on the day the first town meeting was held,
and attended the Centennial Anniversary in 1867. The fol-
lowing is taken from the oration given that day : " The first
settlers of Conway were men and women of sound minds,
frugal and industrious habits, strict integrity of character,
and sterling worth." Several farms belonging to the early
Boydens are still cultivated by their descendants, notably
that of Josiah (38), where the sixth of that name, Josiah Ray-
mond, son of Josiah Dwight, is now living, 1900, aged six
i .
years. ^ U-4

John (39) went from Andover to Deerfield in May, 1763,
and settled in the part which was afterward set off as Con-
way. Col. Frye bought a farm there and gave it to his
daughter Sarah. At her decease it went to her two eldest
sons, John, Jr., and Jame.s, by deed which is in the possession
of her great-grandson, James Dwight Boyden, of Conway
(1898). John and Sarah, his wife, were admitted to the
church in Conway, June 22, 1770, and their sons John, James,
and Frederick were then baptized by Rev. John Emerson ;
he was the first minister in Conway, having been settled
there in 1769. Referring to its rough condition at that time,
he said he was literally "John preaching in the wilderness."

Jonathan (40) lived in Groton from his birth until after
1784, when he removed to Chester, Vt., where his three
youngest children were born. His daughters, Eunice and
Rebecca, were married in Chester. In January, 1793, he was
dismissed by the Groton church, and recommended to a
church in Cavendish, Vt., a town adjoining Chester. No
evidence has appeared that he owned any home in Chester,
nor any town record of the birth of his children. He re-
moved to Shoreham, Vt., with his family (date not known).
In 1807 Jonathan and Rebekah Boyden, of Shoreham, gave
a mortgage, which was paid and discharged Jan. 17, 181 1.
This mortgage was witnessed by Jonathan Boyden, Jr. His
sons, Jonathan and David, married girls born in Shoreham ; —
the latter married Amy Waite about 181 1, when he went to
New York State, and his father with him, probably ; finally,
about 1820, they located in Washington County, Ind., in a
village now called Campbellsburg, and remained there till

A person who knew Capt. John (49) intimately gives this

two sons, Josiah and Abijah, who received the same fatherly
care he gave to his four children during his life ; he was ever
ready to extend a helping hand to a neighbor ; and under
whatever afflictive circumstances people were suffering, he
was first at the door to offer relief. He was a faithful friend,
a Christian, and patriot. His step-son, Abijah Brown, erected
a very large headstone to his memory."

Jacob (^66) removed with his family to Eastern Maine,
where he was the pioneer settler of what is now the town of
Robbinston. He began clearing the dense forest bordering
a lake called by Indians "Nasaic" (meaning roily water) ever
since known as Boyden Lake. Possessed of great physical
strength and mechanical faculty, he and his sons felled the
big trees for lumber, cleared the land for farming, and built
a saw mill and blacksmith shop. Jacob hammered out on
his anvil a gang-saw, which was successfully used for sawing
logs. In the course of time he had a fine farm and a com-
fortable home. He was known as Deacon Boyden, and was
ever active in good works, and highly esteemed by all that
knew him. His sons cleared adjoining lands, and were lum-
berers and farmers ; some of their descendants are still living
on the ancestral acres.

After the death of his father, Seth came into possession
of the homestead and a large portion of the farm ; his ten
children were born there. His sons assisted him in the farm
work during their minority. He was very ingenious, was his
own blacksmith, and did the necessary iron work upon farming
implements, beside much that was experimental in machinery.
He invented a machine for splitting leather, constructed it
in his blacksmith shop, and operated it successfully. In
18 1 5 his sons Seth and Alexander bought of him an exclu-
sive right to control the business in the State of New York.
He was prominently active in the town business, and was
chosen many times as Selectman, and Representative to the
General Court. He held a commission as a Justice of the
Peace.
The closing year of the Revolution found him, though
but a youth, cruising in a privateer, captured by a British
fleet, and thrown into a prison ship at New York, whence
he with three companions from Foxboro were released at
the close of the war.
Uriah A. Boyden was educated in the schools of Foxboro,
and assisted his father in the work of the farm until his
majority. He then joined his eldest brother Seth at Newark
N. J., and remained with him until about 1828, when he re-
46 Thomas Boyden and
turned to Massachusetts and engaged under James Hayward
on the first surveys for the Boston & Providence Railroad ;
he was afterward employed, under Loammi Baldwin, in the
construction of the stone dry dock in Charlestown Navy
Yard, of several mills at Lowell, and of the Boston & Lowell
Railroad. In 1836-8 the Nashua & Lowell Railroad was
built by him as engineer. In 1837 he opened an office in
Joy's Building, on Washington Street, Boston, as a civil
engineer, and at the date of his death he occupied nine
rooms for business purposes ; his bachelor home was in
Young's Hotel, across the court.
He invented and patented improvements on the turbine
water-wheel, and in philosophical and electrical apparatus,
which gave him a large income, and enabled him to devote
much time to scientific pursuits for some years previous to
his death.
He attained distinction as a mathematician, and was hon-
ored and esteemed by his professional brethren. Harvard
College conferred upon him the honorary degree of A. M.
in 1853.
His garments were always of Quaker color and style ; he
was a vegetarian in diet, never drank tea, coffee, wine or
spirits, was an early riser, and daily took a long walk at a
rapid gait, before breakfast, rain or shine. He bequeathed
nearly his entire estate in trust for " scientific investigation
of the properties of caloric and phenomena relating thereto."
This has been invested as The Boyden Fund, which now
amounts to ^240,000, — Harvard University being the trus-
tee,— and the income is used, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the will, largely in connection with Harvard's
astronomical station in Peru.

Seth Boyden (151) "engaged in leather manufacture in

90 Thomas Boyden and
he perfected the first locomotive with the driving-rod outside
the wheel, produced the first daguerreotype in America,
invented the process of making spelter, discovered the art of
making Russian sheet-iron, and patented a hat-body doming
machine, used in all the hat manufactories in the United
States." — Dicty. of Am. Biography.
A bronze statue of " Seth Boyden, Inventor," stands in
Washington Park, Newark, N. J., erected by the mechanics
and artisans of that city, in honor of a fellow-craftsman. He
was a philosopher, acquired an excellent knowledge of optics,
chemistry, electricity and botany, and worked to accomplish
certain results beneficial to mankind, rather than for his own
pecuniary gain. In his later life he undertook the cultivation
of the strawberry, and succeeded in producing berries of the
finest flavor and of enormous size, fifteen weighing a pound.

His Descendants. 91
Alexander (152) was a veteran of the war of 181 2, and a
captain in the militia of New Jersey in 18 16. He possessed
inventive and mechanical faculties in a marked degree. His
first business venture was in 1815, when the exclusive right
for the State of New York to operate the leather splitting
machine was granted to him and his brother Seth by their
father, the inventor. In 1822 he made the first malleable
iron casting, and in 1826 established the manufacture of
malleable iron in Newark, N. J., with his brother Seth. In
1834 the Boyden Malleable Iron Co., of which the brothers
were the factors, built a furnace in East Boston. He
patented a moulding flask called the match or snap flask,
which is still used and considered to be the best. As a
business man he was forceful and energetic.

George Dwight Boyden was born in Conway, Mass. His
family went West while he was young, and settled in Lincoln,
io8 Thomas Boy den and
111., in 1857. In 1875, he decided that Chicago offered greater
advantages for him and moved there in that year. He at
once made a place for himself in the business world and soon
gained an enviable reputation for honesty, ability, and good
judgment. Until his death, he was an influential citizen,
always generous and public spirited. He never sought any
political preferment and avoided prominence. He even re-
fused official connections with the Board of Trade. He was
a modest and retiring man and objected to appearing in any
way as a public character. His shrewdness and foresight
were everywhere admired and acknowledged. He was said
to have hardly a single enemy in the world. He is supposed
to have left a large estate, but the major portion of his wealth
consisted of personal property,

Dwight (194) had assisted his father, "the prince of land-
lords," and "knew how to run a hotel." He became the first
landlord of the Tremont House, Boston, which in elegance
of appointments surpassed any hotel in the country. It was
opened Oct. 16, 1829, by a grand banquet ; among the gen-
tlemen present were Judge Story, Daniel Webster, Edward
Everett, Peter C. Brooks, and Josiah Quincy, Mayor of the
city, presiding : Everett graced the occasion by a brilliant
speech. Travellers were attracted from the first by the supe-
rior accommodations offered, and it continued to be the hotel
of Hoston par excellence for many years. In 1842 Charles Dick-
ens was a guest of the house, and mentions it in his " Ameri-
can Notes," in these words : — "The hotel, a very excellent
His Descendants. 1 1 1
one, is called the Tremont House ; it has more galleries, col-
onnades, piazzas and passages than I can remember, or the
reader will believe." In 185 i a book was published, entitled,
" Rich Men of Massachusetts," in which Dwight Boyden was
mentioned as having "begun poor; now worth $150,000,
mostly accumulated in the Tremont House."

Ebenezer (219), after graduation at Yale College, pursued
a course in divinity in the Virginia Theological Seminary,
and on May 18, 1828, he was ordained deacon in the Protest-
ant Episcopal Church by Bishop R. C. Moore, at Petersburg,
Va. He then returned to the Seminary, and for about eight-
een months was the editor of The Theological Repertory, a
monthly magazine previously edited by the professors. Late
in 1829 he took charge of Trinity Church, in Staunton, Va.
Near the close of 1832 he accepted a call to St. Paul's
Church, Norfolk, Va., where he remained for about two and
His Descendants. 123
a half years. Owing to failing health in the low country,
he then left Norfolk, and took charge of Trinity Church,
Cleveland, Ohio. He found the work here, however, too
severe for a delicate constitution, and in November, 1838, he
was forced to resign, and returned to Virginia. On June i,
1839, he became rector of Grace Church, Walker's Parish,
Albemarle Co., Va., in connection with St. Anne's Parish,
also in Albemarle, but the latter charge he resigned in 1849,
accepting in its stead the rectorship of St. John's Church,
in Louisa County. These two parishes he served until 1879,
when he resigned both charges, owing to increasing age
and infirmities, and retired — not to a life of dependence
and inactivity, but to continued usefulness, as far as strength
permitted.

Phineas was reared on the farm and in the district school,
and became an apprentice to the blacksmith in his native
village at sixteen years of age. Soon after reaching his
majority he purchased the stand of his employer and carried
on the business in the same shop up to the time of his death.
He did a thriving business, employing many hands, in this
manufacturing village, situated on the Boston and Providence
turnpike road, midway between these two cities ; here the
stage coach company kept a relay of hundreds of horses which
came to the blacksmith for their shoes, while the factory
agents, farmers, and families came for various metal imple-
ments, etc. He was a man of sterling Christian character,
and highly respected.

for life. A history of the town states that " he was one of
the most influential men of his time, serving thirteen years
as town clerk, fourteen years as selectman, and two years in
the Legislature. It may be safely said that he never neg-
lected or betrayed any trust reposed in him ; and perhaps to
him more than to any other man our beautiful village owes
its origin. His store was a centre of influence which ex-
tended throughout the town." His brothers William and
Elijah were his successors in business.

Albert G. Boyden (395) was the oldest of six children.
His father was a man of sterling worth, and his mother a
woman of fine character, who set before her children the
ideal of a noble life. He attended the district school until
the age of seventeen years. He had decided to be a teacher,
and strongly desired to attend college, but was prevented
by lack of funds. During his minority, he worked on his
father's farm and in his blacksmith shop, in the meantime
teaching school three winter terms, in Foxboro. On reach-

he still preferred teaching, and immediately began earning
money to pay for professional training. In 1848, he entered
the State Normal School at Bridgewater ; after graduation,
he taught in Hingham, and in 1850 was appointed assistant
in the school at which he graduated, and held the position
for three years, under Nicholas Tillinghast, its distinguished
founder. From 1850 to i860, he was for three years prin-
cipal of the Salem English High School, one year sub-master
in Boston, and more than six years assistant in the Normal
School. In i860, he was appointed principal of the Bridge-
water State Normal School, in which position he is still
serving. During these forty years more than four thousand
pupils have come under his tuition, and he has developed
one of the strongest institutions of the kind in the country.
The school plant, under his wise business management, has
risen in value from a small building worth ;^ 10,000 to a large
establishment of seven buildings and many acres of land,
worth half a million dollars. His unusual success is due to
the fact that he has been not only an earnest student and
an inspiring teacher, but a sympathetic, helpful friend to his
pupils, and a wise and tactful administrator. He has been
an ofificer and active worker in various educational organiza-
tions, both national and local, in church work and in all
movements looking to the improvement of the community in
which he lived. In all his work, he received the able and
untiring assistance of his wife Isabella ; and their home life,
of which they were especially fond, was characterized by
affection, wise guidance of their children, and high ideals.

His Descendants. 2iy
Albert Woodbury (459) was engaged in general mercan-
tile business in Sheffield, from 1862 to 1887. In the latter
year, he and his son George Webb established the banking
house of A. W. Boyden & Son, which has been conducted
successfully ever since. In the development of the natural
resources of coal and mines in the State, he has been a
prominent force, and since 1875 has been secretary of the
Sheffield Mining Co. His influence in town and county
affairs was always potent, though he never was an official.
In politics he has been a staunch republican. He was a
member of the Illinois Legislature in 1884-5, ^^^ ^^^ of the
" 103 " that voted for Logan for five months.

William Cowper (460) was educated at the Beverly Academy
and the Salem Latin School, but was prevented by ill-
2i8 Thomas Boy den and
health from a college course. He entered the employ of
Joseph Burnett & Co., Boston, as book-keeper, and for more
than twenty years held a position which developed into
one of large responsibility ; afterwards, in partnership with
George H. Allen, of Lynn, he engaged successfully in the
manufacture of paper boxes in Lynn and Beverly. He was
for many years a trustee of the Beverly Public Library and
a member of the school committee, and served in positions
of responsibility in the Unitarian Church and the many
charitable institutions of his native town ; untiring in energy
and public spirit, but hampered always by a delicate
physique.
Mr. Boyden was courteous, even gentle, in bearing, but
of keenly incisive mind and immovable purpose. Religious
conviction was a vital motive power in his life. He sought
no position, but did not shrink from any duty that was laid
upon him. Appreciative of literature and music, he had
unusual resources for a man of affairs, — read widely and
was an admirer of Dickens, whose humorous sayings he
often quoted. His count of years was few, but his activities
were many and constant to the end of his life.
