MATTHEW BOYNTON, Esq. [1523-1540], son and heir of Thomas Boynton (XV), of Roxby, was aged 19 when his father's Inquisition was taken. He was appointed to be chief steward of the possessions in the Counties of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in the King's hands, by the attainder of William Woode, late Prior of Bridlington, with £6 a year out of the issues and the appointment of an under steward. This grant is dated 5th May, 1539. Though Matthew Boynton seems to have been intimately connected with some of the leading spirits of Bigod's Rebellion, he seems at the same time to have remained loyal to his sovereign.

He married Anne, daughter of Sir John Bulmer, of Wilton and had issue.

Thomas (XVII). Anne, wife of William Norton, Esq.
