    "1. William1 Boynton was born in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1606. He came to Rowley, Mass. with Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, in the Autumn of 1638. He was assigned a lot on Bradford street, to which he subsequently added largely by purchase in various parts of the county. He gave a farm to each of his children in his lifetime, and the remainder of his estate to his wife Elizabeth Jackson, whom he brought with him. In the records he was called a 'planter,' and 'weaver,' but in the deeds he is called a 'tailor.' He taught the school from l656 to 1681, and was probably the first person employed as a schoolmaster, in the town."

    "21. William1 Boynton, 'tailor', freeman 13 May, 1640; had an acre and half house lot on Bradford Street, next to his brother John's lot, 1643. He was about 56 years old, 1662. He brought with him to Rowley his wife, Elizabeth. … He was schoolmaster in Rowley for a long time and probably the first person regularly employed as such. … He died in Ipswich, 8 Dec., 1686."
