Hi Randy, Thanks for writing. . . . I am a descendant of William's brother John. The best I can do is refer you to two of the most comprehensive sites on the Boynton family. The first is Dr. Quine's site which provides a summary of the Boynton ancestry back to about 1067. From what I understand, there are about a dozen different lines proposed for this ancestry but they are all in agreement on many points. There is an ongoing discussion in the "guestbook" area at this site that will help you to sort through current thought on the subject. The address is: http://hometown.aol.com/drquine/boynton.html The next site is the American Boynton Association. I think they have more on your William than on my John. That address is: http://www.pluvoy.com/amboynton.html When you are finished, I invite you to take a look at my own Boynton website to see how we are related. The address is: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/1449/welcome.html I hope this all helps you . . . . Good luck! : ) Mark Wentling
