4Sep03 "James Byington 1779 want to tie to Boyntons possible David Byington 1734" Re: James Byington (Bastard, Leeds, Ontario, Canada). For generations our family has been trying to find information to tie James Byington to the Boynton line. (James b. Abt 1775; d. Bastard, Leeds, Ontario, Canada about 1825; wife Susannah Nichols originally from Rhode Island, via Stephentown, New York, also died in Bastard, Leeds, Canada.) (Their daughter Mary Byington my 4th great grandmother was born 1811, Bastard, Leeds, Canada; married Southworth, died in Utah.) Some think James' parents may be David Byington b. 1734, Branford, New Haven, Ct. and mother Mary Sheldon. We cannot prove this. The Byingtons buried in Bastard, Leeds, Ontario, Canada, were buried in the United Church Cemetery. We have tried with researchers and have only come up with the following article from North Seas Lantern, July-August 1982, p. 23: "The Byington Family of Portland (Ontario, Canada): James Byington, son of David and Mary Byington, fled the United States as United Empire Loyalists with his parents and settled in Nova Scotia. Descended from one of the three brothers who had arrived in Mass. In 1628. It was a great decision to leave. He married Susannah Nichols in approx. 1798. The family farmed but it is best remembered as carpenters and cabinet-makers and many local houses possess interior woodwork and furniture which attest to their skill. Many a local person went to his eternal rest in a Byington coffin. 8 generations in Canada, the family is still represented by the community. (1982)" I need any information I can get. I have searched many places, not on Loyalist Lists that I can see. Thank you. Merle Romer email: RomerM@ldschurch.org | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
