"Caleb Boynton, the husband of Hannah Harriman. My research has the second Caleb Boynton as bc1649 to John and Eleanor (Pell) Boynton of Rowley, MA. John allegedly arrived c1638 at Newbury/Rowley with his older brother, William Boynton, father of Caleb Boynton/Byington, husband of Mary, making these two Calebs first cousins perhaps born a year apart. They were part of an expedition of settlement chartered by their cousin, Sir Matthew Boynton."

Circa 1649 -- Caleb Boynton was born at Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony. [1]

May 26, 1674 -- Caleb Boynton and Hannah Harriman married at Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts. [2] [3]

1675 - 1688 -- Caleb Boynton and Hannah Harriman had five children: three daughters (Hannah, Margaret, and Ruth Boynton) and two sons (Jeremiah and Boynton-727/Ebenezer Boynton), all born at Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts. [4]

November 3, 1691 -- Caleb Boynton and his brother Joseph, administrators of the estate of their brother-in-law Josiah Clarke, late husband of their sister Mercy Boynton Clarke, took inventory of the estate (Clerk of Court, Salem, Essex county, Massachusetts). [6] Salem Witch Trials

Research by Sara Stevens Patton:

During the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, John's son, Captain Joseph Boynton, was selected as a grand juror. Sergeant Caleb Boynton, his brother, served on the jury for the trial of Mary Watkins.

There is also a document in the Salem Village Church records of 1695 expressing support for the Rev. Samuel Parris which is signed by Captain Joseph Boynton and Rev. Cotton Mather. Rev. Parris was the minister of Salem Village at the time of the witchcraft outbreak. Cotton Mather was a minister in Boston.

Mary Watkins was an orphan who was working as a servant. Initially one of the possessed, she accused herself of witchcraft after "being threatened with punishment if she did not withdraw her accusations against her wealthy mistress.". [7] As a result of her trial, Mary Watkins "continued for some time in prison and was sold to Virginia as an indentured servant." [8]

Caleb's will, dated May 17, 1706 -- date of Caleb Boynton's will. Caleb's will mentioned his wife (unnamed, Hannah Harriman Boynton); sons Jeremiah and Ebenezer; and daughters Margaret Boynton Chaplin and Ruth Boynton (Essex Probate, 310:47). Daughter Hannah Boynton was not mentioned in the will. [9] Sources
