Additional commentary.
1. James Boyd
I am an ancestor of James Boyd that is located at this cemetery. Also are his wives, Catherine, Ann, and Ellen Quiqqen. He has a large tombstone put there by Ellen. I have a complete story of his life if anyone ever wants it. They were all Manx settlers, coming from the Isle of Man.
