Comments: Priscilla BOYDSTON/BOYLSTON, wife of Benjamin Sollers Cecil, was probably the daughter o f James BOYDSTON and his wife, Mary Prewitt. Benjamin S. Cecil is found with members of this family in Montgomery Co., VA. What's more, he acquired land that had been patented by James Boydston. In early records of Montgomery County, the name "Boydstone" and "Boylstone" are used interchangably. Some have speculated that Priscilla might be the daughter o f David Boylston/Boydston, but it's far more likely Priscilla was a daughter of James and Mary (Prewitt) Boydston. One more consideration in analyzing this theory is the naming pattern found in the Benjamin Sollers Cecil family. The two eldest sons of Benjamin Sollers Cecil were named SAMUEL and JAMES. They were named for their paternal and maternal grandfathers, respectively (i.e. Samuel Cecil and James Boydston)?
