I am trying to document several Boynton families I keep stumbling upon. Can anyone give me some clues as how they are related or not??? They all were from Jefferson county aroung 1810. I believe they are all related (brothers?) but not figuring that part out.

There is a William Boynton on the 1820 census in Rodman, with several others of various ages so assuming he might be the father of those listed below. According to several bios found on those listed below, this family settled in Rodman in 1808, after living in Rockingham, VT for 13 years.

There is a William b. 1803(?)-1863 and Louise buried in old ground section Brookside Cemetery Watertown, who might be William and Lovica Boynton listed below. Also most of the children of Jonathan listed below are also buried in Brookside.

so any leads greatly appricated to help connect the dots.
