Thank you for your reply the second reply is where I'm at. I believe we descend from Mark 1749. I was after any replies of possible family, both sides as may lead me to John Pipers parents whom I believe were Stephen and ...
There were two sets of Piper families in the area at the the time, one had migrated from Essex.One from Suffolk and Cambridge area.
I'd like to trace any families from the second reply, thanks again for your post :-)

I have revisited The Boyton family name in Withersfield, Suffolk, and my conclusion is that there must  have been a clerical error during the transcription when the transcriber recorded data from the Parish Register to digital ( which if we search we generally come across ) and the name was recorded as Boyden.
 I can find very few Boyden's in the Suffolk area however as the kind reply showed  there are several Boyton's living in the Withersfield area at the time noted. Note Mary Boyton who is of eligible marital age is living in this area.
Without a copy of the original Bann or viewing the original Parish register, and who is to say that the registrar could spell, I have on my own tree recorded BOYTON.
I thank all who have helped.
