    Ruth (Jewett), born (Bradford) May 7, 1723; married Deacon John Boynton. … Ruth Jewett (Samuel, Francis, Ezekiel, Maximilian, Edward), was born in Bradford, Mass., May 7, 1723, and married about 1745, Deacon John Boynton. It is supposed that he was from Newbury, Mass., was in West Dunstable in 1745, and was made deacon of the Hollis church in 1755; Selectman of Hollis 1758, 1761, and 1762. The farm on which he settled was sold, piece by piece, until only the homestead, consisting of one hundred acres of land and a colonial house remained in the family. In 1859 it passed into the possession of Daniel Pierce, a descendant of Nathaniel Jewett, and is now occupied by Daniel Fred Pierce and his mother. It was Deacon John Boynton, who made that historical ride through Hollis the 19th of April, 1775, spreading the news of the British troops going to Lexington. He rode through Hollis from his home near the Massachusetts line at top speed, calling as he went "The Regulars are coming and killing our men." It was at his home that the men assembled, chose Reuben Dow as Captain and started for Lexington. He died in Hollis Oct. 29, 1787, aged 67 years.
