I don't list any spouse or children or death date for him, but his birthdate seems appropriate to be your Polly's father. Here is the lineage for my candidate (all mentions of "Rowley" refer to Rowley, Essex Co., MA): 1. John BOYNTON, b. 1614, Yorkshire, England, d. 18 Feb 1670/71, Rowley + Elin Pell, b. 1612 England, d. 5 Aug 1689, Rowley 7 children, including 1st child: 2. Capt. Joseph BOYNTON, b. ca. 1644, Rowley, d. 16 Dec 1730, Rowley + Sarah SWAN, b. 1646 (Rowley?) 9 children, including 3rd child: 3. Sergant Richard BOYNTON, b. 11 Nov 1675, Rowley, d. 25 Dec 1732, West Parish Rowley + Sarah DRESSER, b. 4 Apr 1678 Rowley, d. 26 Aug 1759 7 children, including 6th child: 4. Nathaniel BOYNTON, b. 18 Aug 1712, Rowley + Mary STEWART, b. 26 Oct 1715, Rowley 12 children, including 7th child: 5. Nathaniel BOYNTON, b. 27 Jul 1750 in Rowley If indeed this is your ancestor, we're 1st cousins 17 times removed. Capt. Joseph Boynton was my 8G grandfather: 1. John Boynton + Elin Pell 2. Capt. Joseph Boynton + Sarah Swan 3. Dea. Joseph Boynton + Brigett Harris 4. Ephraim Boynton + Sarah Stewart 5. Amos Boynton + Sarah Snow 6. Elijah Snow Boynton + Elizabeth Moffett 7. Amos Boynton + Martha Harvey 8. Annie Elizabeth Boynton + Charles Samuel Ralston 9. Gertrude Tate Ralston + Victor Wasson Hackworth 10. Jonnie Mae Hackworth + Herschel Ambrose Watson 11. my father (living) 12.me Cheers, Katherine BOYNTON-L, HACKWORTH-L, CASHION-L & SHORES-L Rootsweb lists host http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kwc <-- NEW location genealogy/family history http://www.cd-info.com <-- The CD Information Center http://www.cd-webstore.com <-- Information products about CD Technology HACKWORTH-L & BOYNTON-L surname discussion lists at http://www.rootsweb.com (list subscribe/unsubscribe forms available in genealogy website) Glad to be a Rootsweb Donor
