I've been researching the Boydston family for a while now and I've found records that I hope will help correct some of the inaccuracies that we have.  We are fortunate to have so much information on the Boydston family.

I may have told you that I think Mahala Snow was the daughter of Elisha and Elizabeth Snow and that I think our Mayflower connection was in Duck Creek Delaware through David Sr.'s marriage to Mahala Snow. David (Jr.)'s wife Hester Ann Burris/Burroughs's family built a mill on Duck Creek about 1699-1700, and eventually bought the property there.  I have found, in the early PA now Delaware records, the names of all the early Boydston/Boylston spouses.

I wanted to let you know where I'm finding the records in case others are looking.  I hope to have the research on the web in a few months.

Here are David Boydston/Boylston's and Mahala Boydston's page.  Please let me know if you think I should add or subtract anything.  Also, its OK with me if you want to forward any or all of the attached to anyone or use it on your web site.  I haven't finished typing the records for David Boydston (Jr), his wife Hester Ann Burris/Burrough, Mary Willey and the Willey family and scanning in the documents and records I've found yet, but I thought I would E-mail the David Boydston and Mahala Snow pages to you. (See the attachment below)

Tracing the early Boydston/Boydstun/Boylston spouses, I found them in the early PA now Delaware area.  David (Jr) and Hester Ann moved to Monongalia county ab Virginia, now West Virginia, about 1780, and then to PA.  Let me know what you think.
