Biographical Note

Truxton W. Boyce (1919–2007), native Delawarean and University of Delaware alumnus, was an avid

family genealogist and avocational historian. Boyce was born on April 23, 1919, to Elizabeth ("Bess")

Armstrong Morrow Boyce and William Truxton Boyce. At the time of his birth the Boyce family resided

in Stanton, Delaware, in what is now known as the Hale-Byrnes House. The Boyces were the last

owner-residents of the historic home where, in 1777, General George Washington held a war council

following the Revolutionary War Battle of Cooch’s Bridge. The Hale-Byrnes house is now listed on the

National Register of Historic Places and is open to visitors.

Following graduation from Alexis I. du Pont High School in 1937, Boyce enrolled at the University of

Delaware. There, he met his future wife of sixty-four years, Doris Lee Jolls Boyce. While at Delaware,

Boyce played on both the tennis and soccer teams and was president of his junior class. Boyce received a

Bachelor of Arts degree from Delaware in 1941. Doris Jolls Boyce, who reigned as Delaware’s 1941 May

Queen and was active with the student theater group the E-52 Players, graduated in 1942.

After completing his degree at the University of Delaware, Truxton Boyce entered the United States

Army Air Force in 1941. Boyce rose through the ranks, finally obtaining the rank of Major in 1945 while

stationed with the Fourth Air Force in San Francisco, California. During his five years of service Boyce was

stationed in a variety of locales, including Fort Du Pont, Fort Miles, Camp Davis, and in the Pacific Theater

abroad (most notably in occupied Japan). He left the service in 1946.

Following his military career, Boyce began employment with Sears Roebuck & Co. in Wilmington,

Delaware. He became assistant manager of several additional Sears stores located in Dover, Delaware;

Asbury Park, New Jersey; and Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. After moving to Allentown, Pennsylvania,

in 1953, Boyce became involved with the Stewart In-fra-red Commissary Company, a budding food franchise

that used pre-microwave technology to quickly cook sandwiches for customers. Boyce remained with

Stewarts, first in Allentown, then in St. Louis (1965–1971) and Boston (1971–1982), until he and Doris

ultimately retired home to Wilmington in 1982.

Truxton and Doris Boyce had two daughters. Barbara ("Bunny") Jolls Boyce (married name Meyer)

was born on April 4, 1944 and Virginia ("Ginger") Truxton Boyce followed on May 15, 1947.

In 1961 Boyce began conducting research into the ancestral history of his mother, Elizabeth ("Bess")

Armstrong Morrow, who descended from the Morrow family, which settled in Wilmington in the 1830s,

and the Justis family, which first came to Delaware from Sweden in the 1630s. Following this initial research

into his mother's family, Boyce maintained his interest in genealogy and remained an active family genealogist

and record-keeper throughout his life. His efforts have produced a multi-volume family history that details

several lines of both his and his wife’s ancestors. Along with his interest in genealogy, he also was interested

in antiques, the history of America, Delaware, and Native American cultures.

Truxton Boyce passed away on April 25, 2007, two days after he celebrated his 88th birthday.

Scope and Content Note

The Truxton W. Boyce genealogical research and family papers contains twenty-six three-ring notebooks

and nine folders of genealogical research notes, family photographs, correspondence, and other ephemera

related to nineteenth- and twentieth-century generations of Boyce's family lines primarily from Delaware

and Virginia. In 1961 Truxton Boyce undertook the task of creating an ancestral study of his mother, Elizabeth

("Bess") Armstrong Morrow. She was the descendent of, among others, the Morrows, who emigrated from

Ireland to Wilmington, Delaware, in 1835 and owned a confectioners shop in Wilmington in what came to

be known as the Morrow building, and the Justis family, who first arrived in the Swedish settlement in

Delaware from Sweden in the 1630s. Over the next half-century Boyce continued his research into his and

his wife's ancestral past and developed a multi-volume collection of genealogical records. In addition to

these genealogical notebooks, Boyce also compiled several additional contemporary scrapbooks documenting

his own generation's family history.

This collection of personal family histories is an important historical source for a wide variety of

researchers. Genealogists as well as researchers interested in local history, photography, architecture and

historic preservation, post-World War II family life, and other topics will find original documents in this

extensive collection. As a repository for generations of original family documentation and ephemera, this

collection includes, for example, images produced via many of the different photographic processes utilized

over the span of more than one hundred years. The collection includes everything from mid-twentieth-century

Polaroids and colorized portraits mounted on plywood to early nineteenth-century tintypes.

In addition to the significance of the material objects housed within this collection, the stories Boyce

gathered and documented about the lives, marriages, relocations, and professions of generations of his

ancestors provide interesting case studies for an investigation into the state of the nation as a whole at various

periods in time. Each line of the Boyce and Jolls families arrived on the American continent during different

eras and had variously rich experiences once here. The Brynberg, Stidham, and Justis families first arrived

in New Castle and Wilmington, Delaware, from Sweden in the seventeenth-century, whereas the earliest

Jolls arrived in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island from England. Many of these early Jolls ancestors

engaged in Atlantic whaling during the eighteenth-century. Boyce ancestor Uriel Wright was a prominent

St. Louis lawyer during the antebellum period and returned to his home state of Virginia to become a

Confederate staff officer during the Civil War. During the same period, Jolls ancestor Frederick Lorenz

appealed for American citizenship on November 7, 1854.

The Morrow family owned a store at 211 Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware, during the last half

of the nineteenth century, and Colonel Upton Lawrence Boyce lived on his wife's Virginia family estate,

the Tuleyries, from 1866 until he moved his family to Stanton, Delaware, as a widower in 1902. In 1929

William Truxton Boyce was appointed Federal Prohibition Commissioner for the state of Delaware, and

during the late 1960s his granddaughter, Barbara ("Bunny") Boyce served with the Peace Corps in Nigeria.

These stories, as well as many others, illustrate the widely disparate lifestyles of generations of Boyce and

Jolls ancestors. In addition, they demonstrate how truly wide-reaching a genealogy of one couple, in this

case Truxton and Doris Jolls Boyce, can become.


While much of the focus of this collection is on Boyce's ancestral past, and thus of a historical nature,

another wealth of information from this collection is of more contemporary interest. In addition to the

genealogical content of the collection, Boyce also preserved his own immediate family's history via several

personal scrapbooks. These scrapbooks (Notebooks 14–22) document over half a century of the lives of

Truxton W. Boyce, his wife Doris Jolls Boyce, and their two daughters, Barbara ("Bunny") Boyce Meyer

and Virginia ("Ginger") Boyce. The scrapbooks trace the Boyces' lives from Truxton and Doris's first meeting

as students at the University of Delaware in the early 1940s, to their eventual retirement in Wilmington,

Delaware, in the 1980s. The scrapbooks document Truxton's service in the Second World War, including

the period when he was stationed in occupied Japan, and the young family's transition to civilian life with

Truxton's initial sales jobs with Sears Roebuck and Company in Wilmington and Dover, Delaware; Asbury

Park, New Jersey; and Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. The scrapbooks also document Truxton's rise through

the ranks with the Stewart In-Fra-Red Sandwich Company from the mid-1950s until his retirement in the

1980s. This career moved the family several times, from Allentown, Pennsylvania, to St. Louis, Missouri,

and to Boston, Massachusetts. Photographs, newsclippings, and ephemera illustrate Boyce's career, residences,

home life, family activities, holidays, and vacations. The Boyce family scrapbooks thus represent one family's

post-war, suburban, upwardly-mobile, growing and thriving American experience.

Boyce's research notes and records also provide a glimpse into a unique time and place. Boyce conducted

most of his research during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and the research materials housed in this collection

echo this time frame. In many instances Boyce utilized then-contemporary maps to illustrate the movement

of his family members from place to place, gathered period tourist brochures and materials from his research

destinations, and supplemented the genealogical charts he crafted with the then-current whereabouts of his

relatives. All of this serves to add an additional dimension to the historical content of the collection.

The collection is divided into four series. The first two series, Series I. The genealogy of Truxton W.

Boyce, and Series II. The genealogy of Doris Lee Jolls Boyce, solely contain notebooks tracing the family

lines of Truxton Boyce and Doris Jolls Boyce respectively. The family lines traced in Series I. include the

following: Boyce, Tuley, Adams, Sebree, Lawrence, Brownley, Wright, Shreve, Morrow, Justis, Eves,

Armstrong, Cleland, Ferris, Brynberg, Mahaffy, Dushane, Sharpe, Hyland, Stidham, Springer, and Hall

families.

Those families traced in Series II. include the following: Jolls, Lorenz, Lutz, Lepley (or Lepple),

Herman, McColgan, Colge, and Wise families. Boyce did not trace every family line to the same degree of

detail. Some lines, such as the Lutz and Lorenz families (Notebook 12), are only traced as far back as their

mid-nineteenth century arrivals in America from Austria and Germany. Other lines, most notably the Stidham

and Brynberg lines (Notebook 8), have been traced back into the seventeenth-century.

Series III. The life of Truxton W. Boyce is comprised of nine notebooks (Notebooks 14-22) and one

scrapbook (Scrapbook 1) that document nine periods in the life of this collection's compiler, Truxton W.

Boyce. Unlike the other notebooks in this collection, these nine notebooks more closely resemble personal

scrapbooks with autobiographical content, rather than notebooks of genealogical research and collected

family ephemera. The nine notebooks detail eight self-defined periods in Boyce's life. The periods are

1939–1942 Courtship and Marriage; 1941–1946 Military; 1946–1953 Sears Roebuck; 1953–1965 Allentown;


1965–1971 St. Louis; 1971–1982 Boston; 1982–1984 Wilmington; and 1985–1990s. In addition to these

nine three-ring notebooks, Series III. also contains one bound scrapbook that was kept during Truxton

Boyce's youth as a student at Henrik J. Krebs Grammar School (Newport, Delaware) and Alexis I. du Pont

High School (Wilmington, Delaware).

The final series, Series IV. Miscellaneous notebooks and foldered items, includes four notebooks and

nine folders containing items that were either not originally housed in any of the notebooks or do not

specifically pertain to any one family line. The notebooks in this series include the following: Notebook 23

General Data and Letters, Notebook 24 Addresses and Antique Articles, Notebook 25 Boyce and other notes,

and Notebook 26 Letters and family ephemera. Boyce apparently used these notebooks to collect varied

reference sources supporting his research. These notebooks include information such as addresses of research

institutions and libraries, correspondence with distant relatives regarding shared ancestors, a listing of family

antiques and heirlooms noting both the items's original owners and who currently possesses them, and articles

on caring for and collecting antiques. A detailed description of the contents of these miscellaneous notebooks

and folders can be found in the contents list below. Notable among the items in this series is the reunion

notebook of Col. Ephraim Preston Jolls, Class of 1913, University of Delaware. Jolls, who retired to Newark,

Delaware, after a career in the U.S. Army, received the booklet "Ye-Old-School-Tie" (no. 1 and 3, 1951

and 1953), which includes biographical profiles of his Delaware classmates, many of whom served in either

one or both of the World Wars.

Boyce developed his understanding of the lives of his ancestors by talking to and corresponding with

living relatives, consulting county probate records, wills, church records, cemetery records and tombstones,

and other common sources of genealogical data, mining through family held records such as family Bibles,

funeral announcements, marriage licenses, birth certificates, and so on, and, frequently, by visiting the former

homesteads and places of residence of his ancestors. Boyce kept detailed records of his journeys and, over

time, developed an extensive family tree. The materials housed within this collection reflect his hard work

and preserve much of what he collected while investigating his family's past. Much more than just research

notes and demographic data, the notebooks preserve a remarkable array of original family ephemera, such

as hundreds of photographs (including two tintypes) of relatives, homes, tombstones, and antiques spanning

well over a century; nineteenth-century letters, receipts, recipes, legal documents and newspaper clippings;

an 1841 cookbook; a Nigerian coin from the 1960s; and First and Second World War-era military medals.

Though each of the twenty-six notebooks is unique, the overall style, content, and structure of the

notebooks are similar. Typically, each notebook opens with research notes on the family and several pages

of handwritten genealogical charts. (Many of these charts have been compiled and reproduced in this finding

aid in order to provide a roadmap for the collection.) Following the notes, Boyce has preserved

correspondence, brochures, and maps, and any additional period items such as photographs and other

ephemera related to the family line. Boyce's notes often include family memories and anecdotes about

individual ancestors and remarks about the current location ancestral antiques. Altogether, this collection

provides rich documentation for several family lines through nearly four centuries of life in America.

A Note about Preservation and Handling


The original notebooks and scrapbooks compiled by Truxton Boyce are preserved in this collection.

Selected rehousing for fragile documents and photographs was provided in processing. A few oversize items

were removed for protection. Though the notebooks and scrapbooks still present housing challenges, the

format represents Boyce's research and original context for the collected information. Researchers are advised

to handle the notebooks with care.

Detailed Description of the Collection

Series I. The genealogy of Truxton W. Boyce , 1830s–1980s

Tuley, Adams, Sebree, Lawrence, and Brownley families , 1860s–1960s [Box 1 Notebook 1]

This notebook covers the history of the Tuley, Adams, Sebree, Lawrence, and Brownley families. Much of the

material housed in this notebook relates to either the Tuley family or the Tuley's Virginia homestead, the

Tuleyries.

The Tuley family patriarch, Thomas Tuley, died on September 20, 1746, in Burlington County, New Jersey.

His grandson, Joseph Tuley, moved from New Jersey to Millwood, Virginia. Joseph's son, Colonel Joseph

Tuley Jr., built the family home, the Tuleyries, sometime between 1828 and 1833. The Tuleyries was purchased

by Joseph Tuley's nephew-by-marriage, Colonel Upton Lawrence Boyce (see Notebook 4), in 1866. Boyce, in

turn, sold the home to New York stock broker Graham Blandy in 1902 when he moved with his sons to Stanton,

Delaware. Upon Blandy's death in 1926, 700 acres of this land were donated to the University of Virginia to

become what is now the Blandy Experimental Farm. The Tuleyries itself, however, remains in Blandy family

hands.

The Tuley section of the notebook includes photographs of the interior and exterior of the Tuleyries mansion

and the surrounding land, portraits of Upton Lawrence Boyce and his wife Belinda Frances Wright Boyce,

articles about the Tuleyries and the surrounding area, and the correspondence of Truxton W. Boyce regarding

the property. Also in this section are clippings from the scrapbook of Mary T. Jackson kept during the Civil

War.

Four additional sections detail the Adams and Brownley families of Virginia, the Sebree family of Virginia,

Kentucky, and Missouri, and the Lawrence family of Maryland. These sections include the same types of

material as are found in the Tuley section of the notebook, but are generally less detailed. On average, each

section contains Truxton W. Boyce's research notes and correspondence, genealogical charts, and, in some

cases, photographs, written biographies, or other items pertaining to the family line. Of particular note in these

sections is a short biography of Kentucky legislator, religious missionary, and Fayette, Missouri, public servant,

Uriel Sebree; an autobiography of Colonel Cave Johnson; photographs of the home of Colonel William Johnson;

and a short biography of silversmith William Coleman.

Framed portrait of Mary Edelin Tuley [Box 8]

Wright and Shreve families , 1865–1960s [Box 1 Notebook 2]

This notebook covers the Wright and Shreve lines of Truxton W. Boyce's family tree.

John Wright and Elizabeth Sebree were married in 1797 and had seven children. Their third son, Uriel S.

Wright, was born in Madison County, Virginia, on November 1, 1804. Uriel Wright was a prominent lawyer

in St. Louis prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. When the War began he returned home to Virginia and,

despite being a supporter of the Union, served as a Confederate staff officer. After the War he moved to Clarke

County, in northern Virginia. Uriel Wright married Sarah Goen Tuley, whose brother, Joseph Tuley Jr., built


Series I.

the Tuleyries (see Notebook 1). Uriel and Sarah Wright's daughter, Belinda Frances Wright, married Upton

Lawrence Boyce (see Notebook 4) in 1858. Uriel Wright died in Clarke County, Virginia, on February 18,

1869.

The Shreve family became connected to the Boyce family through marriage in 1815. William Shreve III was

born on August 26, 1761. He was a judge in Jessamine County, Kentucky, and had served in the Revolutionary

War. He died in Jessamine County on January 26, 1837. His daughter, Catherine Lawrence Shreve married

William Boyce II in 1815 (see Notebook 4).

Each of the two sections of this notebook contains family trees, notes, correspondence, and other items collected

during Truxton W. Boyce's genealogical research. The Wright section includes, among other items, a copy of

John Wright and Elizabeth Sebree's 1797 marriage bond, a copy of Uriel Wright's 1819 acceptance letter into

the Military Academy at West Point, several reproductions of articles from the Liberty Tribune of Liberty,

Missouri, noting Uriel Wright's legal accomplishments and service with the Confederate Army, copies of

several biographies of Uriel Wright, a copy of Sarah Goen Tuley Wright's death certificate, photographs of a

portrait of Uriel Wright, newspaper articles about the Tuleyries, a copy of Uriel Wright's obituary from The

Clarke Courier, and information related to the history of St. Louis and Jefferson Barracks.

The Shreve section includes copies of Revolutionary War documents about William Shreve, a copy of a marriage

permission signed by William Shreve allowing his daughter Catherine Lawrence Shreve to wed William Boyce

II, and photographs taken from an album belonging to Mrs. U. L. (Belinda Frances Wright) Boyce.

Removals from Notebook 2 [Box 7 F1]

William Boyce I , 1960s–1980s [Box 1 Notebook 3]

This notebook preserves Truxton W. Boyce's research on his great-great-grandfather William Boyce, who was

born July 29, 1749 in Surry County, Virginia. William Boyce was a major in the Revolutionary War and later

filled many public positions in Surry County, including those of sheriff, justice of the peace, judge of county

court, surveyor of county records, and overseer of the poor. Additionally, he served in the Virginia House of

Delegates from October 21, 1793 to January 24, 1798. In 1808 Boyce purchased land in Fayette County,

Kentucky, where he died on January 5, 1812.

The notebook contains three sections, one of which is dedicated to William Boyce. The remaining two sections

include general material on the Boyce family and specific material on William Boyce's brother, Daniel Boyce,

who was born in 1752.

In addition to Truxton W. Boyce's genealogical research notes and correspondence, the notebook contains the

Boyce family crest, research notes on French Huguenots, Jamestown, North Carolina, and the Protestant

Reformation, cartoons and advertisements related to genealogy and family trees, an article about Bacon's Castle

in Virginia, and an advertisement for the Hale-Byrnes house (Delaware). Additionally, the notebook houses

information about William Boyce's service during the Revolutionary War, a short biography of Hector Boece

(1465?–1536), a clipping from The Farmington News (Farmington, Missouri) titled "Truxton Boyce is Seeking


Series I.

Family's Old Time Bible," a hand-drawn map of Virginia in 1796, information on the American Revolution,

and pamphlets from historic houses in Virginia.


William Boyce, II and Upton Lawrence Boyce , 1872–1971 [Box 1 Notebook 4]

This notebook details the lives of Truxton W. Boyce's great-grandfather, William Boyce II, and grandfather,

Upton Lawrence Boyce. William Boyce II was born May 5, 1795 in Surry County, Virginia. In the 1840s he

moved to Missouri, where he was involved with state politics. He married Catherine Lawrence Shreve on

October 19, 1815 in Jessamine County, Kentucky (see Notebook 2). He died May 24, 1872 in Howard County,

Maryland.

William's son, Upton Lawrence Boyce, was born in Greenup, Kentucky, on October 30, 1830. He married

Belinda Frances Wright in 1858 and in 1866 they moved to the Tuleyries, her family's Virginia estate (see

Notebook 1). The town surrounding the property was later named for Boyce. He owned a law office in Berryville,

Virginia, and was very involved in the construction and management of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, where

he served as the company's vice president for many years. The Boyce town railroad station still stands, reflecting

Boyce's importance in not only bringing the railroad through the area, but also, with this move, making the

town of Boyce a reality. In 1902, following the death of his wife, Upton Lawrence Boyce sold the Tuleyries

and moved with his sons to Stanton, Delaware, where they purchased a diary farm. He died in Stanton on

December 24, 1907.

In addition to general notes, correspondence, and clippings, the William Boyce II section includes an 1872

letter from William Boyce II to his daughter, copies, photographs, and a photographic negative of a daguerreotype

of William Boyce II taken about 1840 (though the original daguerreotype is not part of the collection), copies

of newspaper articles that mention Boyce's involvement in politics, photographs (with negatives) of the Boyce

house, photographs of Boyce's grave in Glasgow, Missouri, maps of Kentucky and Missouri, and information

on historic sites in Missouri.

Of particular note in the Upton Lawrence Boyce section are photographs (originals and copies) of Lawrence,

his wife Belinda, their family, and The Tuleyries, wedding announcements, invitations, and obituaries for Boyce

family members, and many letters related to the Shenandoah Railroad Company.

in what is now known as the Hale-Byrnes House, a historic site where General George Washington held a war


Series I.

council in 1777. Boyce, known as "an ardent dry man," was appointed Federal Prohibition Commissioner for

the State of Delaware in 1929. He also served as a state representative from the seventh district, the prohibition

director for Wilmington, and deputy collector of internal revenue. He died on July 29, 1955 and is buried in

Morrow and Justis families, part 1 , 1853–1982 [Box 2 Notebook 6]

The Morrow and Justis families are Delaware lines connected to Truxton W. Boyce through his mother, Elizabeth

("Bess") Armstrong Morrow Boyce. The Morrow family line as traced by Boyce begins with William Morrow

who moved, with his family, from Northern Ireland to the United States in 1835. Upon arriving in America the

Morrows settled in Wilmington, Delaware. William Morrow's son, James Morrow, owned a store at 211 Market

St. in Wilmington; the building was later called the Morrow Building. In 2004 a plaque was affixed to the front

of the building commemorating its role as an early meeting place for Wilmington's Jewish community, many

of which used the third floor rooms of the building as a venue for religious services in the 1870s. James Morrow's

daughter, Elizabeth Armstrong Morrow, married William Truxton Boyce on April 28, 1909 (see Notebook 5).

Elizabeth and William Boyce were the parents of this collection's compiler, Truxton W. Boyce.

As explained by a note in the beginning of the volume, this notebook contains an ancestral study of Elizabeth

("Bess") Morrow. This notebook is the first of two dedicated to the Morrow and Justis families. Items housed

in the notebook include information on the history of Wilmington, Delaware; Elizabeth Morrow's graduation

program from Ursuline Academy in 1900; photographs of the family, their home in Wilmington, Delaware,

and the Morrow store at 211 Market Street; and newspaper clippings that belonged to Elizabeth Morrow. More

information about the Morrow family is located in the second of the Morrow and Justis family notebooks.

to Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware, where there is a Justis family plot.


Eves, Armstrong, Cleland, Ferris, Brynberg, Mahaffy, Dushane, Sharpe, Hyland, Stidham, Springer, and Hall

families , 1830s–1960s [Box 2 Notebook 8]

This book has twelve sections, one for each family, mostly consisting of photographs, obituaries, and burial

information. Of the twelve sections, the Eves and Armstrong sections are the most developed, with the remaining

ten sections containing mostly research notes, Truxton W. Boyce's correspondence, and family charts.

The Eves section contains a letter from the Reverend Robert Patterson DuBois of New London Presbyterian

Church who, in 1847, officiated at the marriage of James Morrow and Bertha Ferris Eves, an 1876 report signed

by William D. Eves, information on Immanuel Episcopal Church On-the-Green in New Castle, Delaware,

where the early Eves worshiped, and photographs of the William Dushane Eves home on New London Road

about six miles from Oxford, Pennsylvania.

Series II. The genealogy of Doris Lee Jolls Boyce , 1820s–1990


Series I.

Thomas, Robert, Thomas, John Sr., John Jr., Joseph Haile, John Wheaton, and Joseph Childs Jolls , 1840s–1980s

[Box 3 Notebook 9]

This notebook is the first of a series that details the family history of Doris Lee Jolls Boyce - wife of Truxton

W. Boyce. The notebook has eight sections that correspond to eight generations of men from the Jolls family.

These Jolls men are: Thomas (1652?–1687), Robert (1677–1739), Thomas (1703–1760), John Sr. (1743–1796),

John Jr. (1774–1849), Joseph Haile (1814–1887), John Wheaton (1842–1905), and Joseph Childs (1865–1934).

The earliest generations of Jolls resided in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The first of the Jolls family

to come to Delaware was Captain Joseph Haile Jolls, who moved to Middletown, Delaware, in the mid-1800s

after retiring from life as a sea captain in Rhode Island. His son, John Wheaton Jolls, was born in Warren,

Rhode Island, on October 24, 1842. After serving in the Civil War he, like his father, moved to Middletown,

Delaware. John Wheaton Jolls died on November 24, 1905. John's son, Joseph Child Jolls, was born on November

27, 1865. Joseph Child Jolls's son, Ephraim Preston (see Notebooks 10 and 11), attended Delaware College,

where he played on the Varsity baseball team. Ephraim Preston Jolls was the father of Doris Lee Jolls Boyce;

Notebooks 10 and 11 go into greater detail about Ephraim Preston.

The eight sections of the notebook contain family trees, clippings, correspondence, and research notes collected

by Truxton W. Boyce. The first three sections, corresponding to the lives of Thomas Jolls (1652?–1687), Robert

Jolls (1677–1739), and Thomas Jolls (1703–1760), contain little more than vital statistics (such as birth and

death dates) about these men and some general clippings and notes about life in eastern Massachusetts in the

seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Some items of particular note in this notebook are research into the

Revolutionary War service of John Jolls Sr., a family record torn from a Jolls family Bible kept during the

lifespan of John Jolls Jr., and a petition from Joseph Haile Jolls to serve as the administrator of his father's

(John Jolls Jr.'s) estate, dated September 1, 1849. In addition to these items, the notebook also includes: pictures

of ships and a house on Cape Cod, the article "The Art of Ancestor Hunting" by Oscar Frank Stetson, an article

about gravestones in New England, photographs of Jolls family burial sites, pamphlets about Warren, Rhode

Island, postcards with drawings of whaling boats, a copy of a newspaper article about Captain Joseph Haile

Jolls's ship log, tourism brochures from Elkton, Maryland, and photographs of Ephraim P. Jolls while he was

enrolled at Delaware.

Ephraim Preston Jolls, part 1 , 1910s–1980s [Box 3 Notebook 10]

Ephraim Preston Jolls was born on November 8, 1890 in Middletown, Delaware. In 1913 he graduated with a

degree in electrical engineering from Delaware College, where he was a pitcher on the varsity baseball team.

On June 15, 1918 he married Ruth Emily Lorenz (see Notebook 12). He joined the Army in 1917 and served

in the Panama Canal Zone, Hawaii, and several additional Army posts throughout the United States. He taught

military science at the University of Delaware, where he coached baseball and served as the president of the

Athletic Association. After he retired in 1946, he and his wife moved back to Newark, Delaware. He died on

December 17, 1962.

This notebook, the first of two about Ephraim Preston Jolls, contains, among other items, a family tree;

photographs taken on and around military bases in Panama, Hawaii and across the United States; Doris Lee


Series II.

Jolls' birth announcement; photographs of the birthing house at Walter Reed General Hospital where Doris Lee

Jolls was born; photographs of the 1932 competitive drill team at the University of Delaware; the article

Removals from Notebook 10 (III) [Box 7 F11]

Ephraim Preston Jolls, part 2 , 1913–1980s [Box 3 Notebook 11]

This notebook is the second of two about Ephraim Preston Jolls. Items of note in this notebook include the

following: photographs of various hunting and fishing trips taken by Ephraim Preston Jolls, greeting cards,

two miniature photo albums documenting a family trip to Florida, correspondence between Jolls and a distant

cousin (Dr. W. B. Jolls of Orchard Park, New York) discussing their shared family history, newspaper clippings

and other materials pertaining to Jolls's adoption into the Seneca Wolf Clan, a program from the 1913 Delaware

College commencement ceremony listing Jolls as a graduate, Jolls's obituary and photographs of his headstone,

and a certificate of membership from the Wyoming state section of the Sons of the American Revolution that

he obtained while stationed at Ft. Warren near Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1943.

Lorenz, Lutz, Lepley, and Herman families , 1820s–1990 [Box 3 Notebook 12]

This notebook contains information about several generations of the Lorenz and Lutz families; the sections for

the Lepley and Herman family lines are empty. A note in the beginning of the notebook indicates that the

notebook traces "The Heritage of Ruth Emily Lorenz Jolls," who was the mother-in-law of the compiler of this

genealogical collection, Truxton W. Boyce.

The Lorenz and Lutz families were of German and Austrian heritage and thus much of the correspondence

included in this notebook is with bodies such as the German Society of Pennsylvania, several Lutheran churches

in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the Lutheran Synod of New Jersey, and the Lutheran Archives Center at

Philadelphia. Additionally, some materials, most notably a photocopy of an 1852 marriage certificate and a

photocopy of an 1880 birth and confirmation certificate, are in German. The notebook also includes a photocopy

of Frederick Lorenz's November 7, 1854 appeal for American citizenship.

Both sections of this notebook contain family photographs (originals and photocopies) ranging from throughout

the late nineteenth and twentieth century. During this time the families lived in Newark, New Jersey; Philadelphia

and Chester, Pennsylvania; and New Castle, Delaware. A genealogical chart tracing the family lines is included

and reproduced in several places throughout the notebook to illustrate the connections between the Lorenz,

Lutz, Lepley (or Lepple), and Hermann families. Housed within the Lorenz section are copies of church records;

photographs of gravestones in the Presbyterian Cemetery in New Castle, Delaware, where there are two stones


Series II.

for Frederick R. Lorenz; and a letter to Doris Jolls from her grandfather, Albert Lorenz, about a hurricane that

occurred on September 21, 1938 in the northeastern United States and left approximately seven hundred dead,

including over four hundred from the area surrounding Ft. Adams near Newport, Rhode Island where Albert

Lorenz was staying. The Lutz section contains a family tree and notes; photographs; and information from the

Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Genealogical Society of Delaware. Some of the later items found

in this notebook are photographs of Ruth Lorenz Jolls and her granddaughter, Barbara Jolls Boyce, taken in

1970 following Barbara's return from serving in the Peace Corps in Nigeria (see Notebook 19).



McColgan, Cogle, and Wise families; Correspondence and whaling , 1910–1980s [Box 4 Notebook 13]

In addition to sections on the McColgan, Colge, and Wise families, this notebook contains a section entitled

"More Whaling" that includes much of the research and information on whaling collected by Truxton W. Boyce.

A fifth section, Correspondence, forms the bulk of this notebook.

The family sections contain family trees, research notes, and Truxton W. Boyce's correspondence. All three

sections are fairly brief with the McColgan and Cogle sections containing little outside of Boyce's research

materials. The Wise section includes some additional material, namely, copies of nineteenth-century pension

records concerning Civil War veteran John W. Jolls and a 1931 photo of the four Wise sisters: Mary, Jennie,

Louisa, and Annie Wise.

The "More Whaling" section includes postcards with whaling images, magazine and newspaper clippings about

whaling, a map of Mystic Seaport, Connecticut, and information from whaling and maritime museums. The

largest section in this notebook is the Correspondence section which contains about twenty letters (many with

envelopes) that were sent between Jolls family members. The letters and postmarks are dated anywhere from

1910 to 1976, with the bulk of the letters being sent to either Doris Jolls or, earlier, her father Ephraim Preston

Jolls. Many to Doris are from "Alice" while most of the letters sent to Ephraim Preston are from his Aunt Annie

E. (Adams) Jolls.


Series III. The life of Truxton W. Boyce , 1927–1990s

This series contains nine notebooks about Truxton Boyce, the compiler of this genealogical collection. Unlike the

other notebooks in this collection, these notebooks do not contain genealogical data or research, but are more

properly viewed as personal scrapbooks with autobiographical content.

Memories of Krebs Grammar School , 1927–1937 [Box 10 Scrapbook 1]

This scrapbook contains awards, certificates, school work, report cards, drawings, photographs, membership

cards, programs, play scripts, and other ephemera from Truxton W. Boyce's childhood as a student at the Henrik

strike.



St. Louis , 1965–1971 [Box 5 Notebook 19]

This is the second of two notebooks covering the period of 1959 to 1971. The lone section in this notebook,

"'65–'71 St. Louis," documents the Boyce's lives after they moved from Allentown, Pennsylvania, to St. Louis,

Missouri. This section contains family photographs, correspondence, and newspaper articles about Boyce's

daughters Barbara Boyce, who was a Peace Corps volunteer, and Virginia Boyce, who worked for the Barnes

Medical Center in St. Louis.

the previous notebook which documented the Boyce's retirement in Wilmington, Delaware. The notebook

includes various family photographs, newspaper clippings, several identification and membership cards, and

a review of Doris Jolls Boyce's volunteer work at the Medical Center of Delaware.


Series IV. Miscellaneous notebooks and foldered items , 1792–1999

General Data and Letters , circa 1960s–1980s [Box 6 Notebook 23]

This notebook is divided into two sections. The first section, "General Data," contains Truxton Boyce's

inventories of historic books, daguerreotypes, magazines, funeral announcements, antiques, and other items in

the possession of members of the Boyce and Jolls families. The section also includes many pages of

miscellaneous notes on various topics such as the care and cleaning of pewter. The "Letters" section of the

notebook contains many letters written to Truxton Boyce regarding his genealogical research. Many of these

letters appear to have been written in response to Boyce's own letters soliciting help from his extended family

in continuing his research.

Addresses and Antique Articles , circa 1960s–1980s [Box 6 Notebook 24]

This notebook is divided into two sections. The first section, "Addresses," includes the addresses of research

institutions, libraries, antiques and document dealers, and independent researchers that Truxton Boyce

communicated with during his research. Also included in this section are brochures and catalogs from various

institutions. The "Antique Articles" section contains clippings from various magazines and newspapers about

antiques. In addition to his work on researching his family lineage, Truxton Boyce also cared about the antiques

that were passed down to he and other members of his family from their ancestors.

Boyce and other notes , circa 1960s–1980s [Box 6 Notebook 25]

This notebook contains various notes, maps, and brochures that were originally housed in an untitled notebook.

The vast majority of these notes appear to deal with the Boyce family line specifically.


Letters and family ephemera , 1792–1962 [Box 6 Notebook 26]


Series III.

This notebook, the final notebook of the collection, contains a variety of letters and other family ephemera

from several different family lines in the Boyce and Jolls genealogy. This notebook is unique from the others

in that it is almost entirely comprised of primary, period materials gathered by Truxton W. Boyce during the

course of his research. The earliest item in the notebook is a partially printed 1792 summons for William Wright

from Orange County, Virginia. The notebook also contains nine letters written between the years 1858 and

1890 and one postcard written in 1874. Other items of interest include an 1879 advertisement for the sale of

the plots of land (including the mansion) at the Tuleyries (spelled, in this instance, Tuileries), a promissory

note from Uriel Wright to Mary Tuley, administrator of the estate of Joseph Tuley, for $204.06 dated October

30, 1860, an 1890 indenture apprenticing James Morrow to a cabinet maker, and the 1909 marriage certificate

of William Truxton Boyce and Elizabeth Armstrong Morrow. The notebook contains three photographs,

Armstrong Morrow Boyce. These duplicate charts were included by Boyce elsewhere in the collection as

needed. Of particular interest in this folder are two large illustrations depicting the Jolls family tree as a

multi-branched, old, craggy, and well-developed tree. The illustration begins at the base of the trunk with

ancestor Captain Thomas Jolls (d. 1694) and includes, among many others, Doris Lee Jolls. The tree was

compiled and drawn by Beatrice Jolls-Read in 1932. One of the two illustrations is drawn on blueprint paper.

Miscellaneous and duplicate items , circa 1850s–1980s [Box 7 F30]

This folder includes photographs, funeral announcements, and notes. Most, though not all, of the items in this

folder are duplicate items found elsewhere in the collection.

Duplicate items , circa 1960s–1980s [Box 7 F31]

This folder is entirely comprised of photocopied items, including research notes and primary source documents,

that are housed elsewhere in the collection. The documents in this folder were originally housed in a folder

labeled "Duplicates."

Email correspondence and family data , 1999 [Box 7 F32]

The folder contains e-mail correspondence between Truxton W. Boyce's niece, Betsy Hawkes, and fellow

Boyce descendant Velma Sippie. Hawkes and Sippie both hoped to develop their understanding of the heritage

of Daniel Boyce by sharing what little they both knew about this early ancestor. Also included in the folder

are several pages of typed notes and genealogical charts tracing several generations of Boyce family members.
