42 years cf age, and wa* born m
the neighborhood of B fton. He
had very early felt an attar hment
to the military profertion, and when

attention upon the thea ra of Afn,
where many other Americans had
before adventured, and f-.nnd mili

Col. Boyd landed on the court f
Coromandel, where it is believed
he found a friendly reception, as alt
