I've looked for Joyce Jr. also, but specifically for any contemporary identification of real persons who impersonated Joyce Jr. in the preliminaries to or during the Revolution, rather than for connections to Cornet Joyce. I imagine Mr. Hollister has seen the following, but for what they're worth here's what I've looked at. And I have not looked into all of these writers' sources. Young, Alfred F. Liberty Tree: Ordinary People and the American Revolution. New York: New York University Press, 2006. See Index, and esp. p. 164 nn. 87 & 88 and p. 168 n. 110, which cite early sources. On p. 164 Young writes that John Winthrop Jr., son of Harvard's Hollis professor John Winthrop, "was" Joyce Jr. Warden, G. B. Boston: 1689-1776. Boston, Toronto: Little, Brown and Co., 1970 p. 365 n. 28. Warden too supposes "Joyce Jr." was impersonated by John Winthrop Jr. Shaw, Peter. American Patriots and the Rituals of Revolution. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1981. pp. 190--193. (Here Shaw is discussing Hawthorne's "My Kinsman Major Molineux", but I don't think that 19th-century historian cites any primary sources.) Forbes, Esther. Paul Revere & the World He Lived in. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1942. pp. 92, 121, 203, 314-316. (Caution: there are two differently-paged editions with the same imprint.) McConville, Brendan. "Pope's Day Revisited, 'Popular' Culture Reconsidered." Explorations in Early American Culture, Vol. 4 (2000), 258--280. p. 271. (McConville's source may be only Forbes.) If Mr. Hollister finds any connection of John Winthrop Jr. with "Joyce Jr.", I would be most interested in hearing! Joel Berson Berson@att.net --
