A Boxer memoir : descendants of Daniel Boxer of Dover /compiled and edited by Maggie Boxer ... [et al.].

A detailed study of the descendants of Daniel Boxer of Dover (c.1735-1787) and his wife Elizabeth. Daniel Boxer's only son James had three sons himself, James, Edward and William, all of whom had careers in the Royal Navy. All family members included in this text are descended from one of these three brothers. This study is based on an earlier work A Boxer Memoir written by Henry Everard Crichton Boxer in 1981 and updated in 1986 but the work has been expanded to include the female Boxer lines of descent and many more descendants. The text is divided into seven parts: the origins of the Boxer name; biographies of those family members about whom there is most information arranged in chronological order and with contextual snapshots on aspects of their lives; vignettes by line of descent providing key dates and, if known, a short account of each known descendant's life; related photographic plates and drawings; family trees; bibliography; and finally a list of descendents by name.
