James was educated at Merchant Tailors' School from 1764 to 1767, when he entered the Mercantile Service of the H.E.I.C.S., on board the "Houghton" East Indiaman, of which his maternal uncle, William Smith, was owner and commander. He purchased the "Houghton" from his uncle in 1782 for 4500 pounds and commanded it from that year until 1792, when he sold it for 7400 pounds.
After completing ten voyages to Calcutta and other parts of India between 1767 and 1791, he relinquished the sea.
On 19 Mar 1790, he acquired the freehold of the house and estate of Hadley, and when he returned from his last voyage, he took up his residence there early in 1791. In 1794, he moved to Enflied Chase, where he remained until 1802. He then returned to Hadley, where he died. He was buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, where his son, Cecil erected a handsome monument to his memory.

James was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (McDoel) Boyd.
James eventually settled in Winsted, Connecticut. He first married Mary Munro and second, her step-sister, Jane.
By today's genealogy standards, James would have been known as the "III", but back in those days, individuals were not generationally identified as "second," "third," and so on, so he is simply identified here as James Boyd.
Some of the information on this line came from the "Annals of Winchester and Family Records", p. 312-315. The "Annals" are part of the "Beardsley & Memorial Library" collection located on Munro Place in Winsted, Connecticut.
