Who is who. I continue to go thru guessing games with each generation of my Boyce line. The latest is with who is my 5th g-grandfather. William Boyce (1748- 1830) (New Jersey to Virginia). I see possible parents with Johannes Boys Buijs/Martha Smith. Then there is: John Boyce/ Elizabeth Osbourne. And then there is Pieter Hendrickse Buis/Rachel Ostrander. All 3 sets of parents show the same children, the same birth/death dates. Same places. Where did these different pieces of information come from. Who is correct, who isn't?

My line goes from my grandfather - James Clarence Boyce (1882-1946) to Samuel Poe Boyce (1850-1899) to Henry Stines Boyce (1827-1916) to Samuel Boyce/Bice (1783-1841) to William Boyce/Bice/Buy (c1740-1820). Now who are his parents? Any ideas. This is getting to areas where there isn't a lot of records available, at least what I can find. If you have public/church or other good records, I would love to hear from you.
