This is a monument to the family of Joshua Boynton. He is undoubtedly buried here but this is not a gravestone. It was created in the 19th c. to honor the family.
Regardless of what the monument says about being the family of John Boynton from Scotland, this is actually the family of William Boynton from East Yorkshire, England.
Joshua's parents were William Boynton (1606 - 1686) and Elizabeth Jackson (1608-1687.) They came over in 1638 on the John of London with their minister, Ezekiel Rogers
Joshua's father William is buried in an unmarked grave in Rowley or less likely, Ipswich. Elizabeth is buried in an unmarked grave in Salisbury.

He was a soldier under Major Appleton in the wars at Narragansett, 1675; also under Captain Brocklebank when the latter was slain by the Indians in Sudbury, Mass. in April 1676. >History of the Boynton Family by J.F.
