Biography* From "Samuel Boykin" by A. B. Caldwell, published in "Men of Mark, Vol. V", Edited by William J. Northern, Published by A. B. Caldwell, 1910, pages 338-340.

Samuel Boykin, a leading business man of the little town of Brooks, comes of what is in our country an ancient stock. The Boykins were first settled in Isle of Wight county, Virginia, at an early date, and the name is preserved in the little town of Boykin to this day.

In 1741 a Cooper family came from Holland to Virginia. Thomas Cooper, St., a child of this family, was a great-great-grandfather of Samuel Boykin. He was a substantial man, a cabinet maker by trade, and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. His son, Thomas Cooper, born in Henry county, Virginia, in 1767, came to Putnam county, Ga., and died in Eatonton, Ga., in 1842. He was the first man to raise cotton for market in Hancock County. The cotton gin had not then been invented, and he invented a roller gin for his own use. Cotton was then worth from fifty to seventy-five cents a pound. Thomas Cooper was one of the original subscribers to the Georgia Railroad. He aided in the founding of Mercer University, was among the first subscribers and supporters of the Columbian Star, afterwards The Christian Index, published first in Washington, D. C., then in Philadelphia, and now in Atlanta.

He joined the Baptist Church in 1813, was prominent in the church councils, and was a deacon. Among his intimate friends were Jesse Mercer, Adiel Sherwood and Jesse H. Campbell. James C. Clark, of Atlanta., speaking of him to his grandson, the Rev. T. C. Boykin said, "A more devoted, useful, and spiritually minded man than Mr. Cooper I never knew."

Mr. Boykin's paternal grandfather was Dr. Samuel Boykin, who was born in 1790, in South Carolina, to which State his family had come from Virginia in 1775. In 1800 the family moved to Georgia. Dr. Boykin was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1807. He then attended lectures at the Pennsylvania Medical College, Philadelphia, and practiced for more than twenty-five years in Milledgeville, accumulating a large property. In 1836 he moved his family to Columbus; Ga., and transferred his planting interests to Alabama.

Dr. Boykin had scientific tastes, and considerable reputation in that direction, as he was the discoverer of several species of flowers and shells which bear his name. The celebrated English botanist, Lyell,'visited him in Columbus, and was much indebted to Dr. Boykin for many varieties of shells and flowers, and makes mention of him in his, books.

Dr. Boykin died in 1848, leaving a wife and eight children. Three of his sons were men of considerable prominence in religious circles. Samuel Boykin, D.D., was elected by the Baptist Convention editor of the Christian Index. He also published the "Child's Delight," and in 1871 that paper was merged with "Kind Words." From that day until his death he edited "Kind Words," the Baptist Sunday school paper. Then there was Rev. Thomas Cooper Boykin, graduated at South Carolina College, who was a planter in Alabama until called to the ministry in 1855. He was president of the Sunday School Board, and a Sunday school evangelist in Alabama for three years. He was then called by the Georgia Baptist Convention to do the same work in Georgia. Being peculiarly fitted for this work, he was then sent to Texas in the same line, and finally returned to Georgia, becoming incapacitated for public work by deafness. Another son of Dr. Samuel Boykin was the Rev. Leroy Holt Boykin, who was the father of our subject. He was born in Columbus, Ga., attended Mercer College, in Penfield, Ga., married Laura Hunter, and for many years was a planter in Alabama. After the Civil War he moved to Atlanta, and then to Brooks. He felt called to the ministry, and labored faithfully in that field until disabled by ill health.

The present Samuel Boykin, third of the name, and our subject, was born at Brooks, on January 25, 1876. After the ordinary school attendance, his education was completed in the boys' high school of Atlanta. He became an employee in a mercantile establishment in 1890, and in 1894, then only a youth of eighteen, in connection with his brother, Lee Holt Boykin, organized the mercantile firm of Boykin Bros., at Brooks, which continues in successful operation.

Mr. Boykin is a very active business man.     He is president of the Brooks Bank, president of the Brooks Gin Company, treasurer of the board of trustees of the Brooks School, treasurer of the Sixth District Agricultural College at Barnesville for the term expiring in 1913.

He is a thirty-second degree Mason, and a member of Yaarab Temple, of the Mystic Shrine in Atlanta. He is a member of the Commercial Club in Griffin, and a communicant of the Baptist Church, identified with the Democratic party, and a regular correspondent of the Atlanta daily papers.

From this it will be seen that Mr. Boykin is making a full hand in the day's work, and is reflecting credit upon himself, and adding to the long record of good works done by the members of his family.

On November 14, 1905, he married Miss Eunice Hand, a daughter of Starkey and Fannie (Lindsey) Hand. They have two little sons, Samuel, Jr., and Leroy Holt Boykin.
