  • Notes 
    • John Boynton was among the first generation of Boynton's to come to North America, settling in 1639 in what would be Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts Bay Colony.

      In 1637, John Boynton along with his older brother William and William 's wife Elizabeth Jackson Boynton joined the expedition which was fitted out under the auspices of Sir Matthew Boynton and others who had made extensive preparations for a settlement in New England. Sir Matthew Boynton remained behind and joined fortunes with Oliver Cromwell.

      In December 1638, these brothers emigrated from Hull, East Riding, Yorkshire, England on the ship "John of London" to Salem then Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. John and his brother William were each assigned an acre and a half house lot next to each other on Bradford Street, Rowley.

      John was a "tailor" by trade.
