This is a shot in the dark mailing. I am trying to find out about John BOYCE born 1832 somewhere in Donegal to Patrick & Margery BOYCE. He immigrated to the Boston Mass area prior to 1870 but haven't found immigration yet. He was missing a finger on his right hand which kept him out of service in US (couldn't shoot a rifle!) He purchased a farm in Lincoln between 1870-1876 for cash and married. In 1880 his nephew Patrick BOYCE (b 1860) was living with the family on the farm. children of John BOYCE & Mary DOWNEY 1) Michael Joseph-1878 2) John PAtrick-1881 3) Mary Magdalene-1882 4) Margaret-1884 5) Elizabeth Amanda-1887 6) William James-1890 7) Manley Bernard 1892 8) Edward Francis -1897 Thanks Betsy
