Hi Harriet. I know most of these Boyce's aren't from VT, but take a look through them. They may help with some spellings of the name and maybe one of them rings a bell. Couldn't find any Hefflon's for you - the one I have gives no information that may be of help - but if you want it, I'll pass it along. This comes from my book, "Bible, Marriage & Family Records Gleaned from Revolutionary War Pensions", volume 4, page 59. VA/PA ABRAHAM BOYCE/BOICE m. HANNAH WELLS, 7 Aug 1786, by Rev.

NC&SC/SC WILLIAM BOYCE m. ELIZABETH NANCE, 1779, Randolph Co., NC. -----Original Message----- From: Harriet E. Cady [mailto:kd1843@verizon.net] Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 10:36 AM To: QUEBEC-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [QUEBEC] Cousins Hi Darrell, The more I learn of the ancestors the more confused I become. I just know there has to be a connection between the BOYCE and HEFFLON in Franklin, VT but can't find it. Then of course there is the fact that Silas HEFFLON supposedly came to Franklin before 1812 from Rhode Island and can't find him there either but know he was born in Ireland so he had to have come by ship sometime around 1775. The other man who I serve in the legislature with is Albert Everett WEARE who goes by the name Everett. He is somehow connected to the WARE who was a Ship's captain in Maine and my grandfather's brother married his granddaughter Julia WARE. So George MERCIER's daughter has done the research and has it with the DAR for her mother but getting the MERCIER lineage is difficult because my great grandmother died and her husband gave the children to friends and relatives to raise. My great Uncle Joseph MERCIER lived with a family in the Walpole Keene, NH area and he married a Josie BELIVEAU of Jaffrey, NH. Of course I keep getting stories from the two remaining elderly cousins, ones 90 and the other is 93. Minds very sharp though. Oh well I will continue this mess.

He married Sarah AYERS in Seabrook in June, 1787, then removed to Waterford (then Littleton), Vermont before the birth of his first child Samuel there 4 December 1789. Joseph remained a resident of Waterford for the rest of his life; his seven sons and five daughters, by two wives, were all born there.

Joseph Senior's father Doctor Daniel FELCH removed with at least some of his family to Seabrook, N.H. later in life, and died there 5 October 1752.
