Archibald Boardman Boyd James Boyd / Margaret Boardman Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh, N. Ireland My GG grandfather Archibald Boardman BOYD was born in Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh 22 June 1827 to Margaret Boardman Boyd and James Boyd. Margaret's father Archibald Boardman's family had land in a townland called Coolbeg near Lisbellaw and Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. Archibald also had lands in Aghamore North and South. These lands, among others, were mentioned in a deed of assignment (to her children) in September 1853.
Attached is a photo of Federico Boyd (Lopez). He was a member of the 3 member Junta's Provisional Governing Committee along with Jose Augustin Arango and Tomas Arias. The names in parenthesis are surnames of the mothers and usually follow the father's surname. They were the three, who along with Manuel Amador (Guerrero), new President and Felix Ehrman (local banker and Vice Consul of the USA) proceeded to Cathedral Plaza to formally proclaim the Republic at a mass meeting. They were among the brave revolutionists who risked their lives and fortunes. These three members of the Governing Committee signed the Manifesto of Independence. The revolutionists met in
either Boyd's House down town or at the Panama I will
also send you a photo of Federico's son Dr. Augusto S.

and Sarita Cannon) Archibald appears to have had a brother John Boardman who also inherited land in Coolbeg and whose descendants still live on the site of the old family homestead along the shores of Upper Lough Erne, today. James and Margaret had a large family....Archibald and his brothers John, James, Hugh migrated to the USA circa 1850. Frederick Moore Boyd remained in Ireland in Cootehill, Co. Cavan. John and Hugh stayed in New York in the NYC and Brooklyn area. Archibald ended up in Panama circa the Gold rush epoch. Brother James followed him to Panama where they acquired and ran an English language Newspaper. Sara's Ancestor was Archibald Boardman Boyd's son Federico and the Dayton relations were descended from his brother Archibaldo. James Boyd was the son of John Boyd of Clementstown, County Cavan. His baptism (assumed to be his) was recorded in Ashfield Parish, Church of Ireland Anglican) nearby to Cootehill, Co Cavan. Father, John Boyd was shown as a merchant and some legal documents show he had a brother Hugh, merchant living in Dublin in 1823. John also had children named John, jnr. and Elizabeth..possibly others. He appears to have farmed in Corbeagh and been a landlord also near Clementstown, Co. Cavan. John BOYD sr. died in April 1866. His will showed a worth of less than 450 pounds. I believe John Boyd of NYC who died in 1868 was the oldest of James' sons. His wife survived him until 1882. His grandson Archibald B. Boyd had a signet ring with the Boyd family crest. The motto shown was Eternitatem Cogita. I believe that motto belonged to a Trochrig, Scotland branch of the Boyds.
His son Hugh J. Boyd was born in NYC in 1858. In January 1881 James Boyd, sole proprietor of The Star and Herald of Panama, formed with his NYC relatives the NY Corporation Star and Herald Printing and Publishing Company. His nephew Hugh J. Boyd became a substantial shareholder and Treasurer of the Company. In 1882 James Boyd, Archibald Boardman Boyd's younger brother died. In 1885, Hugh journeyed to Panama to attend to Company affairs. Sadly, during his visit he contracted Yellow fever, the scourge of the tropics. He died 30 May 1885. He was survived by his younger brother John F. Boyd, only surviving member of that branch of the family and his mother (whose maiden name I don't know). Another branch of the family, was headed by Archibald Boardman Boyd's brother Hugh Boyd. This information is taken from the obituary in the 19 December 1905 Brooklyn Eagle. Hugh, a youngster of 15 yrs of age,. traveled to the USA, in 1845. He worked in a dry goods business and eventually became the the head of that company. He married Alletta Journeay. He died on 18 Dec 1905 at age 76 yrs. He was survived by four sons, John Frederick Boyd, Henry Burnham Boyd, Frances Hubert Boyd and Archibald Boardman Boyd. I assume they are in order of age. Hugh lived at 179 Amity St. in Brooklyn. I believe Hugh had a grandson Hugh who lived at 907 Rivard Boulevard in Grosse Point, Michigan in May of 1969.. Son Archibald B. married a second time. He had a daughter Genevieve who married Robert McDougal Brown. Apparently she like Barbara better and went by the nick name Bobbie. Eventually, I tracked her down by visiting an old Miami address on a letter to Fanny Boyd Carrew ( Mrs. George) a sister of grandson Hugh in Grosse Point, Mich. Her neighbor was a famous author who wrote childrens books. One of those is entitled Encyclopedia Brown, named after a very informative neighbor. I finally met Bobbie and her husband Bob Brown at their lovely home in Oilville, nearby to Richmond, Virginia. She is now deceased. They have 3 sons named Doug, Rob, and Keith. Another correspondent was Joan Scott, a lady who looked into the ring and motto. The Sir Walter Boyd, Privy Counsellor, and High Chief Justice of Ireland was the person who in 1916 petitioned to use the Eternitatem Cogita motto. How about it Boyd Cousins....can you help with finding our New York area (branches) cousins?? Regards......
