Spirithorse,
Here’s the 1850 census listing for Joshua & Mary BOICE.
All were born in Virginia, which could have been in present day WVa.
1850 Taylor Co., Va (WVa) Census, 63rd District, p.160A, 22 July, at
159, 160:
Joshua BOICE, 32, m, – , farmer,$0, Va.****(the race “-” is blank.)
Mary (ditto), 36, f, – , Va.****
James, 10, m, Va.
Ann, 9, f, Va.
William, 6, m, Va.****
Marselas, 4, m, Va****
Jane, 3, f, Va.
Catharine, 4 months, f, Va.
p.166, 24 July, at
213, 212:
Wm. BOICE, 39, m, – , farmer, $750, Va.
Jane, 27, f, -, Va (Nee: Robinson. His 2nd wife)

Ebert, 9, m, Va.
Drusila, 7, f, Va.
Emajer, 5, m, Va.
Christine, 4, f, Va.

I’ve spent some time looking, but I did not find Joshua & Mary nor their children at all in 1860.
Joshua is probably closely related (brother or cousin) to this William Boice, b. 1 Sept 1811 in Colfax, Marion (Now) Co., Va (WVa) . William Boice was the son of Samuel, b.1783 Fayette Co., Pa; and Mary Stine, b.1789 Pa. Samuel d.1841 in Marion Co., Va (WVa) which is next door to Taylor Co., and Mary d. 1879 in Grafton, Taylor Co., Va (WVa.) and was living next door to William Boice in 1860 Taylor Co, P.O.: Pruntytown, Va.
Samuel Boice’s tree does not contain a Joshua, however there is a gap in the ages of his children that could contain other children and typically, we don’t capture EVERY child of a couple in this era. The BOICE/BOYCE’s (and all other variations) of Monongalia, Marion & Taylor Co’s were all descended from Samuel or his brother William’s lines.
In 1850 Marion Co., is a John F. Boice, who is a brother of the William Boice above, who named two of his children Joshua & Mary.
In 1820, Samuel BOICE lived in Greene Co., Pa, next door to Monongalia Co, Va. This line purportedly goes back to a Johannes BUIS, b. 1688 in Curacao, Dutch West Indies, who married Neeltje Claasze on 10 Sept 1710 NYC, NY.
During your search, bear in mind that Taylor Co was only created in 1844, from Marion, Harrison & Barbour Co.’s – Marion was created in 1842 from Monongalia & Harrison Co’s.
Do you have Catherine Atkinson Boyce’s line?
Her Grandfather James was b. abt. 1759 in Northumberland Co., Pa., and James wife Mary Brown was born abt. 1778 in Greene Co., Pa.

Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to find this info. for me. I really appreciate it! I have been at a standstill on Joshua and Mary for weeks, but I am not experienced as you guys on geneaology.
Brenda,
Looks like Samuel may be a descendant of the other Samuel that Bill found. Do you by any chance know the name of your James Shoulders’ daughter that married into the Boyce family, and who she married? I don’t have a maiden name for Mary, and I’m hoping there is a link there.
Bill,
I do have Catharine Atkinson’s line. Here is the link: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=62561sk&id=I0027 It seems like there is possibly some ndn blood in that line just by looking at the surnames. Kinza (Atkinson) sounds like an unusual first name. What do you think?
Do you think there was any ndn blood in Joshua’s line?
Do you mind to tell me your sources for the info. you found? I would love to investigate further.
Thanks so much!
Shannon
Oops ! Sorry.
The sources were World Family Tree entries with some sources cited and enough census listings to determine they were all in the same places at the same time. I’ll do it up right and list them here.
Bill
The info on the line of William Boice who lived near Joshua Boice in 1850 Taylor Co., (W.) Va., came from genealogy.com’s World Family Tree Volume 4, Tree # 491:
Can’t vouch for it’s accuracy, but here it is:

d. 21 Feb 1890 Grafton, Taylor Co., WVa.

d. 13 Apr 1841 Colfax, Marion Co., (W) Va.
m’d Mary Stine, d. 13 Nov 1879 Grafton, Taylor Co., WVa.
Samuel, b.1783,

I don’t think there’s anyway of telling at this point, if the Boyce/Boice line is Native or not. The names aren’t familiar but that means almost nothing.
“Kinza” Atkinson is also “Kinzie” on one census which reminds me of “McKinsey” or “McKenzie” or the like – don’t know what his full, correct name was.
