Subject: Boyce Data

The following is the data that I have on the family of Jehoida Boyce. The paper was in 
the possession of Harvey Seneca Crittenden in Madison Co., Tennessee, a grandson 
of Jehoida. Comparing hand writing with Harvey and his son, it was evident that 
neither of them was the author. I believe it was written well before the Civil War.

Family Record on Maternal Side
Joseph Boyce Born Jan 4th, 1725. supposed to be 1720
died August 31st, 1804
Hannah Boyce born Sept 6th 1732.
died March 1st 1806

Isaiah Keeler Born, Sept 8th 1735 died 1823
Millicent "(Olmstead) Born April 1st, 1742 died 1821
both born in Norwalk, Conn.

Jehoida Boyce Born April 7th, 1759 died 1836
Millicent " (Keeler) " May 3rd, 1765 " 1838

Millicent Boyce Born, Nov. 5th, 1783
Pheobe " " Dec. 10th, 1785 supposed Dead
Jehoida " " Feb. 12th, 1788
Isaiah " " Nov. 21th, 1784
Eliza " " Dec. 8th, 1791
Prudence " " Nov. 25th, 1793
Elijah Woolsey " " Jan. 14th, 1796
David G. " " Jan. 21st, 1798
Olive " " May. 25th, 1800
Stephen " " May 20th, 1802
Rachel " " " 18th, 1808
Harvey " " July 24th, 1809 Died March 1810

The date for Isaiah is not copied wrong, and the order is as shown. The copy is as 
accurate as I can make it. The next list is on the same page but it appears to be in a 
different hand. From other sources- Elizabeth (Boyce) Crittenden died 11/30/1869 in 
Philadelphia, PA. where one of her sons was living.

(Mass.) Artemas Crittenden Born 18th June 1787, died 7th May '43
(U.C.) Elizabeth Crittenden " 8th Dec. 1791, Elizabethtown
Artemas Crittenden 24th Feb. 1812, in Adams
Infant daughter 8th, March 1814, died
Lyman B Crittenden 9th, July 1816, in Adams
H.S. Crittenden 12th, Sept 1818, Pownall Vt.
died 29th E.R. Crittenden 27th, July 1821, in Adams Ma.
May, 1829
S.W. Crittenden 22nd, Feb. 1824 "
S.H. Crittenden 18th, Aug. 1829, Leyden,N.Y.

The last four children are Harvey Seneca, Edwin Rice, Samuel Worcester and Salmon 
Hodges. Rice, Lyman, and Samuel, and Artemas are probably connected to the 
Crittenden line: the others may be candidates for Hannah the wife of Joseph Boyce.

I have one major problem- how did Artemas Crittenden meet Elizabeth Boyce. His 
parents lived and died in Conway, MA which was some distance from Jehoida's home 
in NY and far from Elizabethtown. It could be possible that Artemas was developing 
his residence in Adams and Elizabeth returned to her Keeler grandparents for a visit. 
Then the distance would have been only about 20 miles. Another possibility might be a 
Boyce relative in VT, possibly near Pownal where one of Artemas' children was born. 
I've always thought the Jehoida would be descended from Joseph of Salem, MA by 
way of VT or lower NY.

My interest is filling out the children of Jihad with dates and marriages and especially 
the ancestors through Joseph and Hannah. I hope some of this will help.
