The founder of the business, Mossom Boyd, was born in India in 1815 and settled at Bobcaygeon on Sturgeon Lake, Ont. in 1834. In 1871 Boyd's son, Mossom Martin Boyd, joined him and on the death of the elder Boyd in 1883, a partnership was formed between M.M. Boyd, his brother, W.T.C. Boyd, and their cousin and brother-in-law John MacDonald. On the death of M.M. Boyd in 1914 the widespread holdings of the partnership were gradually sold. Most of the firm's activities were concentrated in the Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario but the firm also hadat one time extensive holdings in British Columbia and Quebec.Finding aid:Textual records (Electronic) The finding aid consists of a box list for volumes 1-985, a file list for volumes 986-1111, and lists of material transferred.
