Boynton Guest Book Volume 1: April 29, 1996 - July 9, 1997

Boynton Guestbook: Manual Guestbook Entries

1. DS 96-04-29 --- Here is the birthdates of those Boyntons from Grandfather on. I would love to get the information all together some time and see if there is something more that you have that I am missing.
2. I have had an extraordinary number of responses to my Boynton on-line materials. I have continued to update my ancestor list ( https://www.quine.org/boynton.html) and the detailed recent family tree ( https://www.quine.org/asb-tree.html). Perhaps more significantly, I have created a guest book with a tremendous amount of Boynton material that has been coming my way. You may find it helpful: "https://www.quine.org/guestboy.html" (this is the current page)
3. DS 96-05-06--- Here are the birthdates for the missing Boynton family members
4. TC 96-07-13 --- I was messing around on the net, and came to your genealogy page. I have done much work on the name Korper/Corper for the last 10 years. I am really a Corper ie Korper, my grandfather changed the name in the 1920s. Take a look at my Genealogy Page URL as in my Sig below. It will be nice to hear from you. Regards From UK Terry Cooper Happy Surfing :-) My Home page https://www.dungeon.com/~deltatango/homepage.html; My Genealogy page https://www.dungeon.com/~deltatango/genepage.html These are very impressive genealogy home pages - Doug
5. BR: 96-12-23 "Boynton Book" --- My mother is a Boynton, a Decendant of William Boynton who came to Rowley in 1638 with his brother John. One interested in Boynton Geneology needs to get a copy of "Geneology of the Decendants of William and John Boynton" published in 1897. Compiled by John Farnham Boynton and his wife Caroline Harriman Boynton. This book has been reprinted by Higginson Book Company, Derby Square, Salem, MA 01970. Excellent book! - Rolfe Bradbury. (bradbury (at) inu.net ). I completely agree that this is the best source of information on the Boynton family that settled in the United States in 1638. I'm pleased to hear that there is a reprint of this book available. - Doug
6. LC: 96-04-08. --- I am doing genealogy research on the Boynton Family. I saw your home page and note you go back 31 generations. I was wondering if you would share some of your information. I am particularly interested in the ancestry of Charles P. Boynton, 1853. I have most of the information you have prior to that point. If you can e-mail something that would be great
7. LC 96-04-11 --- I was wondering if you could tell me who Charles P. Boynton, 1853 - ? married and his children, etc, right through yourself. Is that possible? I'm trying to fill in as many lines to present day as I can. I found the book that John Farnham published to be very good. He certainly put a lot of work into it. As for my mother-in-law, her line looks like this ...
8. DS 96-05-07 --- As for the Boynton side I have been looking into the history of needlework samplers and found in one book "American Samplers"pg 130 refers to a sampler made by Abigal L. Boynton 1810, daughter of Enoch, who was the brother of Methusaleh 1777-1819. So she is a great,great..aunt of ours. I would love to find out where that sampler is today. It was privately owned somewhere in Mass. at the time the book was written which I believe was in 1930's. Stitching is my major hobby and I love old samplers, it would really be a thrill to reproduce something done by and ancestor.
9. JC 96-07-08 --- I am researching the Boynton name. I have an Ann Boynton b. June 1, 1801 in North Briddlington, Yorkshire, England. She married a John S. Slightam of Millington, Yorkshire, England. They settled in Wisconsin in the Madison area. Ann's father was said to be Sir Francis Boynton. Is this a match? Do you have any other information on the Boynton's you'd be willing to share? I look forward to hearing from you. thanks for your assistance. I'm sorry that I can't help with a direct connection to the Boyntons that you are familiar with. My information is only related to the ancestors and descendents of: William Boynton (Yorkshire, England, moved to Rowley, USA; planter, weaver, tailor, teacher) 1605 Information about 32 generations including him you've probably already seen at: https://www.quine.org/boynton.html Information about my grandfather and the recent family tree is all located at: https://www.quine.org/asb-tree.html I would assume that when William (born 1605) came to the USA around 1636 that the Boynton family of interest to you rermained in Yorkshire. Perhaps yopu can find others who were related around that time and trace back from the early listings that I have in Yorkshire from 1605 and back. Unformunately, I have no information other than the since line of descendents before 1605. In this country I have descendents of William and John (brohters who came here) until about 1880 and then our branch of the family only since then as shown in my family tree page.
10. GN 96-07-21 --- I visited your site and wanted to thank you for your efforts.

15. BL 96-08-22 --- BYINGTON: Just started doing a little Web research on my husband's family history. We know that he's related to William Boynton (generation 21 on your list) who came to America and landed in Rowley. Soon after that, one relative or another changed the name to Byington. I'm still working on how that transition happened. Anyway, just wanted to say hello to a distant relative of my husband's. If you have time, and already have it assembled, I'd appreciate finding out how you found the sources for those early generations. If not, no big deal. Thanks for putting this information on line.
16. TE 96-08-26 --- Thank you for replying so promptly to my Byington - Boynton question. My problem is that the family knows that it's line started with William Boynton but then the next latest information that they have starts in the mid-19th century. All the genealogists in the family have been pursuing a part of the line that married into the Byington family at that time-it contains a former assistant secretary of state. But I think there might be a third cousin who knows more about the Byingtons--if I can find her. Rumor has it that the Boynton/Byington change might have had something to do with a land deal. A sales agreement was written with a misspelling and nobody bothered to correct it. Sounds fishy to me, but I'll see what else I can find out. Stranger things have happened. I'll list below what I have so far. If it's something you can follow, give it a try. If not, I'll contact you when I have more useful information. FROM THE 19TH CENTURY: Augustus Byington m. Anna Eliza (birth dates were somewhere in the 1830s and married probably in the 1850s). They had two sons: Edgar Seaburn (or Seaborne) Byington, and Albert Byington. Edgar is my husband's great grandfather. He married Emily Jones. Edgar died young-just after the turn of the century. He and Emily had five sons: Hunter, Laurence, Richard, and Edgar. Richard is my husband's grandfather. He was born in 1900. FROM THE 17TH CENTURY: A lot of this is postulation-I could be totally off, but this is the only Boynton/Byington transition I've found so far. It also has a little more information on dates than you have in your genealogy, so I hope that's helpful There's a Byington descendent who is Mormon and on the Web who works in one of the big libraries there, if you're interested in contacting him ( https://www.provo.lob.ut.us/~rpyne/genealogy). William Boynton. Born about 1555. Of Wintringham, York, England. Died July 2, 1615 in Knapton, Wintringham, York, England. Burial, July 4, 1615. Married Janet Woode. William Boynton. Born 1605, Wintringham, Knapton, East Riding of York, England. Died: December 8, 1686, Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. (Lived in Rowley). Married Elizabeth. 13 children (not many of them lived) Richard, John, Elizabeth, 2nd John, 2nd Elizabeth, Zachary, Zachariah, 2nd Zachary (twin), Joshua (twin), Mary, Cabel, Caleb, Sarah. This is where we split-you're descended from Joshua, but I think my husband's family is descended from Caleb. So here's what I know about Caleb. Caleb Boynton. Born 1650, Rowly, Essex, Massachusetts. Died September 13, 1708. Married Mary Moores. Eight children: William, John, Ann, Hepzebah, Caleb, Miss, Elizabeth, Mary. ; John Boynton. Born April 19, 1676, Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts. Married Jane Westover in 1699 in Branford, New Haven, Connecticut. 19 children ALL WITH THE LAST NAME OF BYINGTON, NOT BOYNTON: Hannah, David, Jonathan, Robert, 2nd Hannah, Nathaniel, Mary, Jane, 2nd David, 2nd Jonathan, 2nd Robert, John, 2nd Nathaniel, 2nd Jane, 2nd Robert, 2nd Mary, Daniel, 2nd John, 3rd Robert. That's all I know. I think that if there's a 2nd or 3rd of the same name it means the 1st (or 2nd) died in infancy, but there are some inconsistencies in the list. We can count out the girls because we wouldn't inherit the name through them. That leaves the following as potentials for tracing the line: David Byington (twin): Born November 30, 1702, Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. Died November 3, 1763. Married Mercy. Jonathan Byington (twin). Born November 30, 1702. Married Hannah Mallory on December 5, 1733 in Branford. Daniel Byington. Born September 18, 1711, Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. Died November 11, 1781. Married Sarah Butler August 7, 1734 in Branford, New Haven, Connecticut. (If this is the correct line, it would be interesting because we unwittingly named our son Daniel. It just seemed to fit). John Byington. Born September 11, 1713, in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. Married Sarah Chittenden, November 6, 1735 in Branford, New Haven, Connecticut.; Nathaniel???; 2nd David; 2nd Jonathan???; 3rd Robert??? --- In response to your old letter on the Byington family - I have finally found a quiet evening to explore some of the dozens of letters that have been coming my way. Regarding the Byington connection, I agree that John Boynton (baptised April 19, 1676) seems to have changed his name when he went to Connecticut. The comments in my book are: "Is this not the Boynton who went to Conn[ecticut] and 'called his name Byington?' as we find in Branford CT town records under the date of Oct 16 1710 that one 'Jon. Boyington [sic] entered his ear marks with a crosse on the right ear and a half penny on the fore side of the same," and in the Reg. of Deeds in Branford 'the thirty first day of January AD 1720, I John Byinton [sic], of Branford Co. of New Haven, Colony of CT of N.E., weaver, 4th Division of Land made over to me by John Swain & Thomas Whedon and Eunice the wife of Thomas Wheedon etc., etc., which doth accrue to me by right of my wife Jane, Relect or Widow of s'd Jno. Swain, deceased." Signed: John Byinton, her Jane O Byinton mark As we have no further record of this John in Mass., it seems quite conclusive that he was the progenitor of a large branch of the family in Conn. who spelled their name Byington, or Boyington." I note that within these quotes alone we see two spellings of Whedon/Wheedon as well as seeing Byinton, Byington, and Boyington. I have no idea what to make of the description of the mark that John made, I assume that the "ear" and "crosse" must be terms used in describing the shape of the mark that was created as a signature.
17. TE 96-10-06 --- Doug - Thanks for the interesting information about the Byington/Boynton name change. What you found does confirm what I heard from a cousin. It was something to the effect that the name got misspelled on a land transaction and it would have taken several months to correct the change so they just left it. As the people back then didn't seem to be too concerned with name spellings, this story is beginning to sound plausible. It's nice to get a place and time associated with the story. Confirming the story also lets me know that we're on the right track as far as my husband's family being descended from the John Byington (Boynton) mentioned in the information you sent. It's what happens after that I don't know much about until the 1830s and then I don't have exact dates. The closest I can come is Augustus Byington who was born in the 1830s, married Anna Eliza in the 1850s and had two sons (probably also in the 1850s)--Edgar Seaburn (or Seaborne) Byington, and Albert Byington. Edgar is my husband's great-grandfather. Anyway, that's all I know so far. If/when I get more specific information I'll let you know. Thanks for all your help.
    
    (update 6 1/2 years later!) ------- [Boynton] May 23, 2003 "Augustus BYINGTON ... response to TE 96-10-06 (message 17 at https://www.quine.org/guestby1.html)" I have Augustus BYINGTON's father as Zina BYINGTON 1795-1886 b. CT, m. Huldah WEBSTER. Zinna;s father was Daniel BYINGTON 1773-1843. Daniel married 3 times. Zina's mother was Susan NORTON 1778-1803, Daniel's 1st wife. I am a descendant of Daniel's 2nd wife, Hannah ALCOTT. His 3rd wife was Herldan WAKEFIELD. That's some of what I have, plus brothers and sisters and some of their dates. My e-mail is mudder9651 (at) aol.com
18. ME 96-08-27 --- I was very interested in your database for the Boynton surname, and I noticed you have a few question marks. My husband's family's name is also Boynton and a lot of the first names are very common in both familys. My husband's grandmother got their geneology done a number of years ago and it starts back with Sir Thomas Boynton (Knighted) and he is an ancestor of the Boyntons of Sudbury, Richmond Yorkshire and the Boyntons of Willerby and Rawcliff England. From the information we have on the family, your first 2 question marks appear to be where our family tree starts, Sir Thomas Boynton and Sir Henry Boynton were the sons of Sir Thomas Boynton who married Isabel daughter of Sir William Normanville, and had two sons who were Thomas and Henry. Our information goes right through until the mid 1940's or so for the New Zealand side of the family. It's on the bases above that I am certain they are all the same family, if you would like any more information, please do not hesitate to contact us, either by e-mail, phone or normal post,it would be really good to fill in all the blank spaces. Regards - NEW ZEALAND I have updated my Boynton Web Page with the Boynton Ancestors of William and John Boynton who came to Rowley in 1638. I discovered that I was missing their father (three generations of Williams inn a row were unexpected) and also I have added the meager information that I have available about the wifes and milestones of their ancestors to help distinguish between individuals. Without specific dates, repeating names names between generations becomes confusing. https://www.triskelion-ltd.com/boynton.html I'd appreciate any further information about these individuals - in most cases neither birth nor death dates are available but rather there is some event that places them alive in a particular year at an unknown age. - Doug
19. PO 96-09-07 --- Slow in answering my mail. I have a MARY BOYNTON of Rowley who married John EASTMAN of Salisbury, MA Dec 1670 in Salisbury. Her father was said to be WILLIAM. Do you have any connections for me?
20. PO 96-09-13 --- Have Mary Boynton, dau. of William and ?????, married to EASTMAN from Salisbury, MA. Do you have William's wife's family documented? A very belated response to your question. In regard to your Boynton ancestor, we share William Boynton (1606-) who immigrated to the USA as a common ancestor. He came to Rowley in 1638 with his brother John and a number of others in the autumn of 1638. He was assigned a lot on Bradford Stret to which he subsequently added largely by purchases in various parts of the county. He gave a farm to each of his children in his lifetime and the remainder of his estate to his wife, Elizabeth Jackson whom he brought with him. In the records he is called a planter and a weaver but in the deeds he is called a tailor. He taught school from 1656-1681 and was probably the first schoolteacher in Rowley, Massachusetts. His daughter Mary Boynton was born July 23 1648 and, as you know married John Eastman (son of Roger Eastman) of Salisbury MA on Nov 5 1672. John Eastman was born in 1640 and died March 25 1720. Joh and Mary's children were: 1/ Hannah Nov 23 1673 - Dec 8, 1673 2/ John Aug 24 1675- 3/ Zachariah Oct 24 1679- 4/ Roger Feb 26 1682 or 1683 5/ Elizabeth Sept 26, 1685 (married George Brown Apr 10, 1705) 6/ Thomas Feb 14, 1688 - Aug 27, 1691 7/ Joseph June 23, 1692. Obviously parenthood and medical care were rough back then ...
21. SI 96-09-13 --- I am very much interested in the Boynton's since a couple of them were married to Hazelton/Hazeltine/Haseltine's which is the surname which I am interested in. My problem is that I am trying to keep my telephone bills down by restricting my online time. Is there any possibility of your helping me with my Boynton/Hazeltines on Rowley-Roots? The people I am interested in are:

    A. Ichabod Boynton m. Elizabeth Hazeltine b. 28 Oct 1683, Bradford. No more details on either of them. --- In response to Edward Sinker's request for more details about the Boynton-Hazeltine marriages I can offer the following from the Boynton Family book written by John Farnham Boynton and Caroline Harriman Boynton in 1897.

    [Ichabod is pages 55-56; his father John page 47; grandfather John pages 44-45.] Ichabod Boynton, born Apr 19 1676 or 1677, his will was proved May 8 1758. He was adm. to the chh. in Bradford in 1698. He was a school teacher in Bradford for 10 shillings a week from the first of September 1713 to the last of March 1714. He was a selectman in 1711. Ichabod married Elizabeth Hazeltine (daughter of Robert Hazeltine and Elizabeth Jewett Hazeltine) of Bradford on Feb 18, 1706. She was born in Bradford Oct 28 1683 and died April 1758. Ichabod was the third generation of Boynton in the USA and was the first son of Sergt. John Boynton. Ichabod and Elizabeth's children were Sarah, Abigail, Lydia, John, Rachel, Andrew, and Elizabeth. His father Sergt. John Boynton. (Sept 17 1647-Dec 22 1719 - husbandman and weaver). moved from Rowley to Bradford in 1679 and was one of the founders of the Bradford church in 1682. He became an elder there Mar 28, 1718. John Boynton with John Tenney and Philip Atwood were chosen by the town to purchase the land from the heirs of the Chief Sagamore Maschonnome. This they did for the sum of 6 pounds, 10 shillings; the deed was dated Jan 13 1701. Samuel English signed with the sign of a serpent, Joseph English signed with a bow and arrow, John Umpee signed with a new moon as his mark. Ichabod's grandfather was the John Boynton who immigrated to Rowley MA in 1638 with his older brother Williams. John was born at Knapton, Wintringham in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England in 1614. He was a tailor by trade but tilled the acre and a half of land asigned to him in 1640 next to his brother William's. He married Ellen ("Eleanor", "Helen") Pell of Boston. He died Feb 18 1670.

    B/ Hannah Boynton m. 1st Samuel Hazeltine 18 Feb.1768. No date or place of death for him and nothing on her.

    [page 68] .Hannah Boynton born June 18 1742 married 1st Samuel Hazeltine Feb 18 1768. He died 1776. She then married Captain John Lane Sept 21 1777. Hannah's father, John Boynton (born Bradford MA Aug 30 1713 was called John the Blacksmith and lived on Water Street in Haverhill until March 28 1760 when he sold out and moved to Buxton Maine (then called Narraganset #1). It is said he died in the Army in 1777 in a barn used as a barrack by the soldiers. Elisha Andrews watched by him the night he died. John Boynton was the 4th son of Ichadob Boynton and Elizabeth Hazeltine. Hannah's grandfather was the Ichabod Boynton described above!
22. SI 96-10-06 --- Thank you very much for sending me this information and for supplying your source. By the way, there is no mention of Sergt. John Boynton's wife. Does that mean she is not known. It is good to see that you have your line back to England. Someone should be able to push it back further someday now that you have crossed the water. In regard to Sergt. John Boynton's wife:(Boynton Book page 47). Married first wife Hannah daughter of Solomon and Frances (Grant) Keyes, Mar 8 1675. She died in Bradford MA, April 11, 1717. He married 2nd Mary, widow of Simon Wainwright in Bradford, Feb 19 1718 (or) 1719. He died Dec. 22 1719. His widow married Joshua Boynton of Newbury, Oct 30, 1727. I hope this helps.
23. BO 96-09-16 --- Hi! Hilkiah Boynton's daughter Priscilla married David Page and this leads to the McIntire family and so on. Thanks for the list of Boyntons.
24. SS 96-09-18 --- Researching my paternal side BOYNTON. By any chance is General Israel Putnam in your tree? If so, perhaps we are sharing common ancestors. --- The Boyntons often come back to common ancestors but my reference book does not list General Putnam - even though I am well familiar with his park in Bethel, Connecticut. Perhaps you could help identify the Boynton relatives that you are familiar with and I can help figure out the connection. The only Putnam connection in the Boynton book (page 169) is: Thomas Boynton (born Hollis NH Dec 3 1763 married Hannah Putnam who was born May 17 1769. Moved to Guilford about 1797. His children from Hannah (his first wife):were Hannah, Abigail, and Sally
25. KA 96-09-29 --- I was doing a Web search for "BOYNTON" and found your page. You're descended from William Boynton of Rowley, MA, and I'm descended from his older brother, John. Apparently my branch isn't as publicly documented, but various family members do have records. I"m visiting one in Texas next week to work on some genealogy stuff, and hope to investigate & verify the lineage back to John B. Meanwhile, some of our lineage, even though unverified, is posted at https://fly.hiwaay.net/~katherin . By all means have a look if you're interested. - Regards, katherine (at) cd-info.com -- The CD-Info Company, Inc., Publisher of The CD Information Center https://www.cd-info.com
26. KA 96-10-06 --- I just got home, and did have a very good visit, and we even stumbled across a new line to explore on a CD-ROM at the library. Another descendent of one of our ancestors had apparently submitted a listing with more data than we had about John Duncan Harvey, who was an early Texas settler. We just had his name, but no dates or places or anything else, but the other branch had lots of stuff. With that information, Burney was able to fill out the entire line from his mother/my grandmother back for four previous generations. Burney did indeed have much more information about the Boynton family than I had, but we agreed that the Sarah Snow who married our Amos Boynton and moved to Wilkes Co., GA was not the daughter of Jonathan Snow, but probably a cousin. From some references we had it was apparent that there were possibly dozens of Sarah Snows in New England by that time (late 16th cent.) That was the 5th generation after Nicholas Snow had arrived on the Ann, and he and Constance Hopkins had 12 children, including several sons. I'm reasonably sure the Amos Boynton we are tracing is the right one, though, since we do have records from that time up to the present, and backwards to John Boynton, b. ~1603 in Yorkshire.
27. AS 96-09-27 --- I have 5 BOYNTON's who married GAGE's in Worcester County, MA in the late 1700's. Can anyone identify who their parents were?
    1. Lydia BOYNTON, 1768-1849; married Nathaniel GAGE in 1790.
    2. Persis BOYNTON, 1769-1798; married Nathan GAGE in 1792.
    3. Sarah BOYNTON, 1770-1815; married Richard GAGE in 1794.
    4. Mary BOYNTON, 1771-1860; married Abraham GAGE in 1798.
    5. Betsey BOYNTON, 1777-1855; married Nathan GAGE in 1799.
    They were probably sisters, or at least close cousins. Thanks in advance - asak (at) aol.com) --- In response to your questions about Gage marriages to Boyntons I can offer the following: Jonathan Boynton (Aug 19 1684-Mar 16 1740) married Margaret (daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Palmer) Harriman) June 6 1711. After Jonathan died, his widow married DANIEL GAGE of Bradford MA on May 12 1742. Betsey Boynton married Mr. Gage, lived in Wendall MA, died before 1821, had one son named Daniel. Betsey Boynton was the 6th of 8 children of David Boynton born 1742 who was in the French War and the revolution and drew a pension the last year of his life. He lived in Wendall MA and in 1822 moved to Hague NY and died there in 1834. [page 231-232 Boynton book].

29. ME 96-10-06 --- I hope this is some of the information you are looking for: Mathew Boynton, who m. Anne, dau. of Sire John Bulmer, of Wilton, and had three daus. Margaret, wife of William Brobysher; Anne, m. William Norton; and Cicely, Maid of Honour to Queen Elizabeth, m. Edmund Norton, of a son and heir, Sir Francis boynton High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1569, who m. Dorothy, dau. and co-heiress of Sir Christopher Place, of Halnaby. He d. 9 April 4617, was s. by his only surviving son Sir Mathew Boynton. Regards This appears to be a different part of the Boynton family that the line that I have been able to trace back to this era.
30. SO 96-11-12 --- I m looking for info on an Elizabeth Boynton who married Elnathan Blood on 26 Nov 1741 in MA. Is she the Elizabeth Boynton who was born 21 May 1715 in Rowley? Thanks, solar (at) agate.net My records indicate that Elizabeth Boynton born July 10, 1720 in Rowley married Elnathan Blood on Nov. 26 1741. Elizabeth was the 8th of 12 children born to Benoni Boynton (born Feb 25 1681) and Ann Mighill who married April 4 1706. Benoni Boynton was the son of Joseph Boynton and grandson of John Boynton (who settled in Rowley). I have infomation about sibling's dates and their parents and family but no` further information about Elizabeth Boyonron nor Etnathan Blood. (page 53, Boynton Family History and Genealogy, 1897)
31. JD 96-11-27 --- Boynton/ Dresser Inquiry --- While doing some research on my family line, I came across your Boynton Family Genealogy page. It said that you have information on 32? generations. I reviewed the tree, but I suspect that not all the names are listed. Maybe you can tell me if you have any information on a Mary Boynton. I am actually researching her husband, John Dresser, but so far, I have not been able to link him to any parents. I'm hoping that someone with a Boynton genealogy may have the info I'm searching for. Here is what I know: John Dresser (b. cir 1765 ?), place unknown, moved to Pomfret, VT in 1790 after the census. There he married a Mary Boynton on 8 Jul 1790. Their first 2 children were born there; John in 1791 and Sarah in 1795. I have been to Pomfret, VT and obtained copies of the marriage and birth registries, but found no reference to where he came from. Around 1796, they moved to Barnston, Canada. Their next 2 children were born there. In 1838, the entire family, to include spouses of their children and grandchildren, moved to Ohio, then a couple years later to Iowa, where most of the clan still lives today. I have the family's complete genealogy from John to present. No one has yet been able to connect John to any family. Any help or suggestions you have have would be very much appreicated. Hope to hear back from you soon. Jim (jdresser (at) plainfield.bypass.com) of Jim or Janet Dresser, Groton, Vt Visit our temporary homepage at https://plainfield.bypass.com~pbraig/homepg1.htm I have a linear list of ancestors going back 32 generations: https://www.quine.org/boynton.html. I also have a "complete" family tree down from my grandfather: https://www.quine.org/asb-tree.html As you can appreciate, the complete family tree of the Boynton family would be thousands of pages long. Just the most complete available family tree (Boynton family History and Genealogy) from the settlement in Rowley, Massachusetts in 1638 to 1896 runs about 304 pages of small print. It lists 4 Dresser / Boynton marriages none of which apperar to be the one you seek: A/ Hannah Boynton (baptised Apr 5 1696) married John Dresser of Rowley on Apr 2 1724. They had 6 children. B/ Sergt. Richard Boynton of Rowley MA (Nov 11 1675-Dec 25 1732) married Sarah Dresser of Rowley MA (Apr 4 1678-Apr 26 1759) on Dec 24 1701. They had 7 children. C/ Dorothy Boynton of Rowley MA (May 13 1708 - Aug 22 1761) married Samuel Dresser (born May 23 1707) of Ipswitch MA on Apr 26 1732. They had 7 children. D/ Amasa Boynton (born between about 1810 and 1815, son of Mary Boynton Jun 1 1773- Mar 23 1870) married Eleanor Dresser and had 1 son. - Doug
32. JD: 96-12-01 "Dresser / Boynton Connection" --- Doug, - Thank you for anwering my inquiry. I did have all the information you sent on the Dresser/Boynton connections A, B, & C you mentioned. However, connection D was new to me. I have added that info to my database. If you have any additional information on Eleanor Dresser that married Amasa Boynton, I could use it to help make a connection from Eleanor to her family. Also, if you ever comes across any information on the Mary Boynton/John Dresser connection I am searching for, please keep me in mind. - Jim or Janet Dresser (jdresser (at) plainfield.bypass.com)
33. HE: 96-11-25 "Please Explain! Abbott & Boynton Apprentice" --- At 05:20 PM 11/22/96, Gayle Montgomery wrote: Could someone please explain this to me. Regarding my ggggggggGrandfather, who lived in Rowley 4 years before his death, dying in 1647--- Ipswich, MA Court. Rec.IV p.41 "30-1mo.1647 - The court sitting at Ipswich ordered a warrant issued for George Abbott, Thomas Abbott Sr., Thomas Abbott Jr., and Nehemiah Abbott about putting out of town by the town of Rowley of one of the sons of George Abbott. Permission given to the town to set forth Thomas Abbott Jr. son of George Abbott of Rowley to be apprentice to John Boynton for seven years. Boynton to pay Thomas Abbott Jr. =A35, at end of term, provided that it be not fully concluded until next court so his father might have an opportunity to object." Per Early Settlers, Blodgette and Jewett: George had 4 sons who came with him from England, TWO were named Thomas therefore we have Thomas Sr. and Thomas Jr. (The elder and the younger) George died after Mar 30 1647 and before Aug 30 1647, that I beleive unravels the dates. I suspect that Thomas, who at this point had just about reached majority (he died 1695 age 69.) was some sort of a problem and the "putting out of town" is to prevent him bcoming a ward of the town (much like a warning out but here they were taking action. A more charitable interpretation would be the father was sufficiently ill that he could no longer control his family and this action was taken to help. The apprenticship puts Thomas in secure postion, removing the potential of him becoming a town ward. Unfortunately town records before 1647 no longer exist. If you don't have access to the book and want a copy of the pertinent pages, drop me a note and I'll mail to you.. Regards - Bob (heritage (at) snet.net) A further response: 96-11-25 "Please Explain!!! Abbott & Boynton Apprentice" --- I'm descended from John BOYNTON of Rowley. My last Rowley ancestor was Amos BOYNTON, b. 1742, who left Rowley and lived variously in Fitzwilliam, NH, Windsor Co., VT (and probably Shrewsbury, MA before that) and settled his family in Wilkes Co., GA around the turn of the century. He was called a "taylor" (tailor) according to Rev. John Norton's _History of Fitzwilliam, NH_. While that doesn't necessarily mean his gr-gr-grandfather was also a "taylor" it's not impossible -- Rowley was apparently a milltown that produced cloth, and tailors would have had plenty of raw material for their trade there. I'm working on a webpage, which while unfinished is available at https://fly.hiwaay.net/~katherin I've put Amos Boynton's pedigree chart on there, and linked it from the BOYNTON page which is accessible from the homepage. Cheers - Kathy (katherine (at) cd-info.com)
34. DQ: 96-11-26 "Boynton Apprentice Response" --- The John Boynton who immigrated to Rowley in 1638 was a "tailor" by trade but tilled the acre and a half of land that was assigned to him in 1640 next to that of his older brother William. (History of the Boynton Family, 1896). Perhaps this offers some insights for Thomas Abbott Jr's apprenticeship. - Doug
35. CO: 96-11-27 "Boynton Line" --- Here are a couple names I'm looking for in the Boynton line. Thanks for the help. Samuel born 1660 - died when: he had a son, Daniel, born 5/26/1692 in Groton, MA. Any information on Daniel, wife, children? Abraham, born 10/30/1709 had a son, John. John was born 7/23/1748 and died 3/5/1783. He married Rhoda Shattuck on 2/3/1780. Did they have any children? Any dates on Rhoda? They were married in Pepperell, MA. He died shortly after they were married. Anyone know the cause? Abraham also had a son named Abraham who was born 11/20/1750 in Hollis NH. Anyone have any information on him? Date of death or location? He had several children. (Abraham is my husband's gggg grandfather). I'm trying to fill in as many pieces as possible. Abraham also had a son named Joseph. He was born either 3/26/1789 or 3/26/1787. A note I have says he stutied medicine and moved to New York. Anyone have any information on him? John Boynton, born 12/3/1786 in Groton, MA, died 1/4/1859 (?). He married Sarah Tenney from Hollis, NH. Would like information on his children, John, Moses, Sarah, Mary. Thanks for the help, Lisa (cozzens (at) tuxedo.ENET.dec.com) Sorry to take so long to answer you. I have the birth, date, spouse, children information for all of these people until John 1786. His only information is: "born April 8 1786; married and moved to Vermont; had one son and two daughters, all died years ago" (per History of the Boynton Family, 1896) Presumably William Jewett married one of the daughters. Tell me what information you seek from the others and I'll send it along when I return from Thanksgiving. (There is a lot of data since some of these boys came from families of 12 siblings each of whom is described with dates.) - Best - Doug
36. 75: 96-11-27 "Maximillian Jewett - Boynton Links" --- Hi all - I am trying to fill in some holes in my Boynton line. Does anyone have any info on Maxmillian Jewett? Birthdate, deathdate, parents, and a marriage date to Ellenor E Pell. She was married also to John Boynton, Sr. My line descends through that marraige but I would like the particulars for her other marrage. Thank you for any help you can offer....Deborah:>} - ( 75477.2412 (at) CompuServe.COM) Torrey has BOYNTON, John (1614-1671) m. bef 21:2m:1644 Ellen/Eleanor PELL, Boston; res Rowley & Salisbury JEWET. Maxillion (1607-1684) m 30 Aug 1671 Eleanor PELL (-1689) wid, John BOYNTON m3) 1686 Daniel WARNER. Pope says Ellen PELL was a maid servant of Atherton HAUGH, admitted to the church at Boston 4:5m:1641. There was a Joseph PELL of Boston with a wife Elizabeth ____, but that was probably a second marriage, she being widow of Nathaniel (H)EATON. Eaton was alive in 1638 when he fled to Virginia. This Elizabeth could not have been the mother of Ellen/Eleanor PELL who married in 1644 and was thus born well before Elizabeth's marriage to Joseph PELL. Torrey also mentions a Joseph PELL who married in Boston, England 5 Oct 1637 Johana/Hannah COCKETT/COUSHETT. This may be the same Joseph, but would still be too late to be parents of Ellen/Eleanor. What's your source on her death date of 1669/70 - that would be before her husband's death and her marriage to JEWETT? Pope says John BOYNTON, sen, bur 18 Feb 1670. That would be 1670/71. I strongly suspect the 18 Feb 1669/70 date you have as death of Eleanor is in fact the burial of her husband with someone assuming the 1670 was 1669/70 rather than 1670/71. Also, I suspect the record says "in his 58th year" which someone supposed meant he was 58 and subtracted that from 1670 to get 1612. "In his 58th year" means he was 57 (in current usage we say someone is in their first year of life meaning under the time from birth to age 1, but we doen't usually extend it; that is, we say someone is 1 rather than in their second year). So subtracting 57 from 1671, you get 1614. -- Lin (ethelind (at) athens.net)
37. MI: 96-11-26 --- "Maximillian Jewett - Boynton Links - Further Responses" --- For the parentage of Maximilian Jewett (properly "Jowett"), see Tracy Elliot Hazen, "Two Founders of Rowley, Mass.," NEHGR, 94 (1940), 99-104. Maximilian's father is Edward Jowett, clothier, sometime of Eccleshill (a village in the parish of Bradford, in the West Riding of Yorkshire), who was buried in Bradford 4 Feb. 1614/15. Edward married in Bradford, on 1 Oct 1604, Mary Tayler, sister of Samuel Tayler and daughter of William Tayler; after the death of her first husband, she married (Bradford, 7 Aug. 1616) William Lister, and was buried at Bradford on 23 May 1626. Maximilian Jowett was baptized in Bradford on 4 Oct. 1607, and was buried at Rowley, MA, on 19 Oct. 1684. He married Ellen (Pell) Boynton at Rowley on 30 Aug. 1671; it was the second marriage for both (his first wife, Ann, whose surname is unknown, was buried at Rowley 9 Nov. 1667). --- Michael Palmer (mpalmer (at) netcom.com)
38. MI: 96-11-26 --- "Maximillian Jewett - Boynton Links - Another Response" --- According to Tracy Elliot Hazen, "Two Founders of Rowley, Mass.," NEHGR, 94 (1940), 104, Ellen or Eleanor (not "Eleanor E") died at Rowley on *5 Aug. 1689*. She was married and widowed three times: (1) to John Boynton, who is almost certainly the individual who died (or was buried) on 18 Feb. 1669/70; (2) at Rowley, 30 Aug. 1671 (as his second wife), to Maximilian Jowett, who was buried at Rowley 19 Oct. 1684; and (3) at Ipswich, 1 June 1686, to Daniel Warner, Sr. --- Michael (mpalmer (at) netcom.com)
39. KA 96-11-26 "Maximillian Jewett - Boynton Links - Third Response" --- I'm descended from John BOYNTON and Elinor/Ellenor/Ellin PELL of Rowley. I show John's date of death as 18 Feb 1670/71 (from "Vital Records of Rowley, Mass. to the end of the year 1849"), and Mr. Jewett was Ellin's 2nd husband, married on 30 Aug 1671 in Rowley (with her name indicated as "wid. CT.R." I have her date of death as 1694, not 1669/70. Is it possible that your source confused Elinor's and John's dates of death? Children of John BOYNTON and Elinor PELL, were Joseph (ca. 1641-1730), John (b. 1647), Mercie (b. 1651), Hannah (b. 1654), and Sarah (b. 1658.), all documented by the VR of Rowley mentioned above. --- Regards, Kathy

41. DA: 96-11-30 "Boynton Genealogy Link?" --- Browsing your Boynton web page, I found a possible link with your ancestors. I have a Joshua Boynton, born 1679, son of a Joshua Boynton, born 1646, son of a William Boynton, born ? You have the same sequence of Boyntons with the same dates. Your page doesn't have spouses so I couldn't absolutely confirm it. Here's what I know of mine: William Boynton married Elizabeth Jackson and had Joshua in 1646. Joshua Boynton married Hannah Barnet and had Joshua in 1679. Joshua Boynton married Marry Dole (born in 1681) and had David in 1712. David Boynton married Mary Stickney (born 1711) and had Amos in 1766. Amos Boynton married Lucy Loring and had Polly Boynton. Polly married and the name changes a couple of times through daughters, down to my generation. It appears that we share Joshua Boynton, born 1679 as an ancestor. He evidently had at least two sons, Enoch (your ancestor) and David (my ancestor). The earliest location I have for this line is the marriage of Polly's great grand-daughter in 1846, in Machias, Maine. I would be grateful for any additional information you have on our common ancestors. --- Dick Aitkins (daitkins (at) excell.com)
42. RO 12/04/96 "Boynton Genealogy" --- Do you have the ancestors of Enoch Boynton m. Rachel Foster c 1750 in GED format? I would appreciate it if you could provide.

43. ST 96-12-07 "Boynton page" --- Most of the Boynton's trace back to 1140's in England. Two brothers came to this country early in its settlement. My side of the family have been seafaring folk for generations. Lots of Williams and Lewis's on my side. Interesting page. --- David Heining-Boynton --- student (at) rs6k.meredith.edu Thank you for the comments on the Boynton family.

44. SP 96-12-28 " Bessie Blanche Boynton Thoits" --- Hi. I came looking for this ancestor, who died in 1945. Area was Conway NH, we think. Married Harry Thoits, had three children: 1. Norman 1906-1947 (m. Elsie Silver); 2. Everett (? - 1944); 3. Beverly (1909 - 1947). Any references to her? Thanks for the reference to the book as well - appreciate it. --- Steve Ivas (Spivas (at) aol.com) Steve - Unfortunately the book ends in 1896 so there are no references to these people. I'd suggest that you try the Rowley Roots subscrioption list as they seem to have an unlimited amount of information on the Boynton family. - Doug

His father was born in Massachusetts, but don't know his name. Don't even know if I'm related to any one on your particular Boynton branch, but will keep checking your home page as I obtain more genealogy info. Who knows, I may or may not be related. Keep up the wealth of info. --- maddeo (at) goodnet.com (Madeleine Parrott) I checked in my Boynton book and Milo is not listed which suggests that he is not a descendent of John and WIlliam Boynton who settled in Rowley Mass in about 1638 (the book lists their descendents until 1896) - unless he was from one of the branches of the family that the authors of the book lost track of.

69. [Boynton] Mar 15, 1997 "Origin of name" --- While at the library for the Cathedral in York, I discovered a referance to a Ingram de Bouintune - pronounced Boynton in French.

Given the way names were given during that period, it is possible that Bartholome de Boynton was origionally "Bartholomew be Bouintune. When I next return to France, I intend to visit Bouin to see if there are any artificts or information which can support this hypothysis. I did find reference to some letters signed "Bouin" at the National Bibliotech in Paris. Next time I hope to acquire copies for translation.

Can you provide any further details or references to the source of information? I can find no references to the family name Bovington. - Doug
101. [Boynton] August 28, 1997 "Torchill Update" --- This request came to me third hand but I gather reference's about grandpa TORCHILL . OK this is it.

     1) the DOOMSDAY BOOK has Torchill in possession of Boynton before Bartholomew.
     2) a reprint of "Betham's History, Genealogy and Baronets of the Boynton Family in England" edited by John Farnham Boynton, states Torchill was in possession before Bartholomew.
     3)The Yorkshire Background of the Boyntons of Rowley by Robert Joseph Curfman for the Augustan Society also has Torchill first and a Chenut of Bovington, Ulf and Archil.
     4)the East Riding Antiquaian Society said; Boynton, a contraction of Bovington

I would like to know is anyone has any information on a - John Boynton who married a Caroline Launderford in the City of Cork Ireland.

104. [Boynton] Jun 16, 1997 "BOYNTON LINES" (found site through: USGENWEB-MA) --- Doug, we have talked before, but something new has come up. I recorded information on my line from the BOYNTON book: Boynton Directory, American by John F. Boynton, 1884. This book shows my line as: Frank Boynton b.1860 Portland, ME (my g grandfather) Moses Boynton b.1823 Andover, MA (gg grandfather) Benjamin Boynton b.1780 Andover, MA (ggg) Thomas Boynton b.1747 Newberry, MA (gggg) Recently, however, a couple of people have said that the book recently reprinted: John Farnham Boynton & wife-1897 states that my line from Benjamin veers back to Moses Boynton b.1751 Andover, MA instead of Thomas. Can anyone illuminate me on which might be correct. I have pictures of both Frank and Moses in my family albums, but nothing back further. I know there are plently of Boynton's who migrated to Maine.....mine seemed to have lived in Portland and Lewiston, ME in the 1800's. Please feel free to exchange information with me so that I can verify which direction my line goes.

My great grandfather John Boynton jr was born on the 30th August 1830 London and moved to Tasmania when he was 10 yrs old. I am from New Zealand so I hope anyone out there can help me.

106. [Boynton] Jun 23, 1997 "Possible Boynton link to Ben Franklin" (found site through: Found your site months ago, it's now a favorite.) --- Through your website I was able to connect up with a cousin who was able to supply my missing Boynton link. Now I have another question. It has been rumored in my Boynton line for the last couple of generations that a Boynton is either directly related to Benjamin Franklin or married a direct descendant. The closest I have been able to get to this is an Edward Boynton who was the third husband of a Rosa Wainwright. Rosa was born 31 March 1925. They were married after 1945. Edward was originally from Chicago, Illinois, but I have no dates nor further info on him. Does anyone have any additional info or dates on Edward Boynton, or know of another Boynton who is related to or married a Ben Franklin descendant? I can be reached at: maddeo (at) goodnet.com. Thanks Doug for giving all of us a way of finding each other. Madeleine --- Email: maddeo (at) goodnet.com

109. [Boynton] Jun 29, 1997 "Byingtons" (found site through: Altivista) --- Do you ever hear from Byingtons?? "Byington" is derived from "Boynton." I am decended from William Boynton who came to this country from England with his brother John. My family is from Connecticut by way of Kansas. Have any of your visitors to your web page found any mistakes with the information in the Boynton book from the Higginson Book Company in Salem, MA?? I am using a copy of that book to help me fill in missing relatives but I wonder how accurate it is. Would you have any information of George Byington born in Bristol Connecticut in 1810??

111. [Boynton] Jun 30, 1997 (found site through: Cyndi's List of Genealogical Sites on the Internet) --- Quite the striking and distinguished genealogy. I enjoyed reading one of Prof. Quine's books a few years ago. Apart from Aristotle and Lewis Carroll, few logicians are very readible, although I found a volume of Wittgenstein soothing during a fever once. I wonder if your research has turned up any evidence, negative or positive, of Boyntons in the State of Maine? In a telephone conversation with my grandmother, yesterday, June 29, 1997, I discovered that my great-grandmother was adopted by a Ruben Boynton, of East Millinocket (?). Given the connection between Maine and Massachusetts, it is plausible that the more remote branches of your family colonized Maine.
