______________________________

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.

Joshua Boynton is the son of William B., and Elizabeth (Jackson) Boynton.

Joshua, Newbury, br. prob. of Caleb, m. April 9,1678, Hannah Barnet, had William, b. May 26, 1690. >Savage, v1, p227.

In 1663 Joshua's father gave him a farm in Newbury, Mass. It contained one hundred acres and was near Mr. Dummer's farm. Joshua lived there for more than fifty years. 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. Boynton, p3.

He was a soldier under Major Appleton in the wars at Narragansett in 1675 and also under Captain Brocklebank when the latter was slain by the Indians in April 1676. There were twelve children in all, the first five at least belonged to the first marriage. There is some discrepancy in the dates of birth of the others, and the record gives the last seven as born at Rowley. >Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, v2, p748.

Joshua Boynton of New Hampshire, who served in several campaigns in the French and Indian Wars; took part in the expedition to Canada. >Register of the Society of Colonial Wars in the District of Columbia, 1897, p5.
