Thomas Boynton (c. 1340  - 1402)
Sir Thomas Boynton deposed in the Scrope-Grosvenor enquiry in 1386 that he was 40 years old and had been armed for eighteen years, although he was probably older than 40. In his deposition he stated that he had been at the funeral of Sir Geoffrey Scrope in Königsberg, East Prussia in 1362 and in the Pays de Caux in Normandy in 1369. [28] On 8 November 1367, Thomas de Boynton, going beyond seas by the king's licence, had letters nominating attorneys in England for one year. [29]

Thomas Boynton became associated with Henry de Percy and is listed among the thirteen knights who attended a dinner held on 15 August 1376 for Henry, hosted by the Abbot of Alnwick. [30] This relationship with the Percies proved disastrous for his son in 1405. Thomas de Boynton was sheriff and escheator of Durham from November 1391 to January 1401. [31]

Thomas Boynton married, before June 1382, when they purchased property in Linthorpe, [32] Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert Conyers of Ormesby by his wife Julian de Percy. She was sister of Sir Robert Conyers junior and John Conyers of Hornby.

The will of Sir Thomas Boynton, knight, is dated 18 July 1402 and was proved on 6 September 1402. He wished to be buried in the church of Acklam. The following relatives are mentioned in his will: John de Boynton his cousin; Henry Boynton his son; Margaret his wife. He makes his executors, his wife Margaret and John Conyers her brother, Christopher his son and William Skipwith his chamberlain. [33]

Margaret died on 22 October 1408, holding half of the manor of Newton and land in Boynton and Snainton in dower. [34] Her Durham inquisition post mortem held on 29 October 1408, found that she was holding lands in Seaham, Plawsworth and Whitworth of the gift of John Conyers, brother of Robert Conyers of Ormesby. [35]
