I've replaced "look-alike double agent" with just "double", as "double agent" has a very different meaning from "double" in this context and "look-alike double" is redundant.--Rlhatton 17:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * For the Record Civil War Times Illustrated magazine had a article [Vol 16 article pp.47-49] on James Ward Boyd 1822-1866 on the real James W. Boyd and proved Boyd was killed in Tennessee after the Civil War in 1866. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.121 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Year of death is not 1903
According to the biographical references linked to the article, Captain Boyd was last seen alive in 1865. I am not aware of any reference that puts his death in 1903. Unless someone can offer a reference otherwise, I would request that his year of death be listed as "1865?", which is when he was last seen alive. Wefihe (talk) 16:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

He was killed in 1866. See  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.72.154 (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

This was my ancestor.
He looks so much like my dad... The resemblance is honestly uncanny.I had no idea that he may have been killed because they thought he was Booth but I do remember a much older Boyd relative talking about how he had come up missing and never returned, though. 199.15.127.222 (talk) 16:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
