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.,

.'[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, 

1688,  Timothy  Reed  of  Woburn. 
ii.  Elizabeth,^  b.  May  24,  1670 ;  joined  the  Second  Church  of 

Boston  1693. 

4.  iii.  John,'  b.  Dec.  6,  1672,  in  Groton. 

5.  iv.  Jonathan,'  b.  Sept.  27,  1675. 

6.  V.  Joseph,'  b.  Apr.  24,  1678. 

vi.  Benjamin,'  b.  Mar.  29,  1683,  recorded  as  "  Benjamin  Bow- 
^  den,  b.  in  Charlestown,  son  of  Thomas  «Sc  Martha ;  others 

previous,  but  not  in  town."     Nothing  further  known  of 
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.

Jonathan  (3)  Boyden's  name,  with  that  of  his  father,  ap- 
pears on  the  list  of  proprietors  of   Medfield   in    1675.     He 


lO  Thomas  Boy  den  and 

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-

Probate  Records  give  the  appointment,  on  Dec.  26,  1749,  of

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 

Your  Excellency's  most  obedient  servants

Joseph  Lakin  Town  Clerk 

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."

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

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 
after  the  father's  death,  about  1833.

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.

monly called  the  Hop  district,  and  "  Boydenville,"  while  he

quite  successful.  In  1810,  he  was  living  in  Corinth,  and  had 
some  business  transactions  with  a  brother  of  his  wife,  which 
displeased  him,  and  perhaps  involved  him  in  possible  events  ;

Seth  Boyden  (151)  "engaged  in  leather  manufacture  in 
Newark,  N.  J.,  in  181 3  ;  he  invented  a  machine  for  splitting 
leather,  and  began  the  manufacture  of  patent  leather  in  1819  ; 


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

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.

the  statutes  of  the  State.  He  began  to  practice  law  in 
1825,  in  Stokes  County,  and  by  energy  and  devotion  to  the 
interests  of  his  clients,  he  won  distinction  and  a  lucrative 
practice  throughout  that  State.  In  1846  he  was  elected  a 
State  Senator,  and  in  1848  a  member  of  Congress.  During

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

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

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.

Rev.  Jesse  Boyden,  of  the  New  Hampshire  Conference,

Bishop  Soule,  and  elder,  at  Claremont,  N.  H.,  June  25,  1843, 
by  Bishop  Waugh.  His  appointments  while  in  the  regular 
work  were  at  Weston,  Vt.,  Grantham,  Hill,  Tamworth, 
Thornton  and  Landaff,  N.  H.  In  1847  ^^  was  compelled  to 
retire  from  the  active  work  of  the  ministry  on  account  of  a 
serious  affection  of  the  throat,  and  was  never  able  to  take 
effective  work  afterward,  sustaining  a  superannuated  relation 
to  his  Conference  for  thirty-six  years. 

"  In  his  nature  he  was  modest  and  retiring,  almost  to  a 
fault,  but  in  his  moral  and  religious  convictions  h^  was  decided 
and  unswerving.  As  a  husband  and  father  he  was  kind  and 
indulgent ;  as  a  citizen  he  was  faithful  and  respected  ;  as  a 
Christian  conscientious  and  devoted.  To  his  family,  to  his 
Conference,  to  the  church  and  the  world,  he  left  the  legacy 
of  a  pure  and  useful  Christian  life."

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,

Abner  (255)  was  quite  young  when  his  father  and  family 
moved  from  Walpole  to  Marlboro,  N.  H.,  where  they  remained 
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.

i6o  Thomas  Boy  deft  and 

and  became  a  master  builder  in  that  town  and  its  vicinity.

ness as  an  architect.  For  more  than  fifty  years  he  practiced 
his  profession,  and  erected  many  churches,  town  and  county

his  plans,  attest  his  ability  and  genius;  of  such,  the  Mechanics 
Hall,  in  Worcester,  is  a  conspicuous  example.  His  manliness

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- 
ing his  majority,  with  good  health,  good  habits,  and  a  trade. 


194  Thomas  Boy  den  and 

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.

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.

CONNECTION    NOT    PROVED. 

The  connection  of  the  following  branch  with  Thomas  Boy-

may  have  had  some  foundation.  Parents  and  birthplace  un-
