John Boys (classicist)
John Boys (c.1614–1661) was an English translator of Virgil.
==Life==
John Boys was the son of John Boys (b. 1590) of Hoad Court, Blean, Kent, and nephew of Edward Boys, 1599-1677. His mother was Mary, daughter of Martin Fotherby, bishop of Salisbury. He was born about 1614. His grandfather, Thomas Boys (d. 1625), brother of the dean, John Boys, inherited the estate of Hoad Court from his uncle, Sir John Boys, an eminent lawyer, who died without issue in 1612. On 24 Jan. 1659-1660 Boys presented to the mayor of Canterbury a declaration in favour of the assembly of a free parliament, drawn up by himself in behalf (as he asserted) "of the nobility, gentry, ministry, and commonalty of the county of Kent". But the declaration gave offence to the magistrates, and the author, as he explained in his ''Vindication of the Kentish Declaration,'' only escaped imprisonment by retiring to a hiding-place. Several of his friends were less successful. In February 1659-60 he went to London with his kinsman, Sir John Boys of Bonnington, and presented to Monk, at Whitehall, a letter of thanks, drawn up by himself 'according to the order and advice of the gentlemen of East Kent.' He also prepared a speech for delivery to Charles II on his landing at Dover on 25 May 1660; but "he was prevented therein by reason his majesty made no stay at all in that town," and he therefore sent Charles a copy of it.
Boys married Anne, daughter of Dr. William Kingsley, archdeacon of Canterbury, by whom he had three sons—Thomas, who died without issue; John, a colonel in the army, who died 4 Sept. 1710; and Sir William Boys, M.D., who is stated to have died in 1744. Boys himself died in 1660-1, and was buried in the chancel of the church of Hoad.
