LLOYD, James, physician, born on Long Island in April, 1728; died in Boston, 14 March, 1810. His grandfather, James, came from Somersetshire, England, about 1670. The grandson studied medicine at Stratford, Connecticut, at Boston, and in London for two years, and, on his return to Boston in 1752, obtained an extensive practice. He was for some time a surgeon at Castle William, and in 1764 was a strenuous advocate for general inoculation. He was a moderate Loyalist, and remained in Boston while it was occupied by the British troops. In 1789 he went to England to obtain compensation for losses that he had sustained during the Revolution" but his application was refused unless he should consent to declare himself a British subject, which he did not feel disposed to do.--His son, James, statesman, born in Boston in 1769; died in New York, 5 April, 1831, was graduated at Harvard in 1787, and afterward engaged in mercantile pursuits for some time. He visited Europe about 1792, resided for a year at St. Petersburg, and, on returning to Boston, was elected in 1800 a member of the state house of representatives. After a reelection he was chosen first to the state senate and then to the United States senate as a Federalist in place of John Quincy Adams, serving from 7 November, 1808, till 1813, when he also resigned. He was afterward re-elected in place of Harrison Gray Otis, serving from 2 December, 1822, till 23 May, 1826, when he again resigned, he published some political tracts, the last of which related to British colonial intercourse.
