An E-mail was received from a cousin, yesterday.  In it Tony states: "Anyone who's been to Nauvoo lately knows that you can go to the "Land & Record Office" there and discover where your Nauvoo relatives lived when they were here, As you may recall, our common ancestor Martin Calvin Boyce (Grandma Asay's father...) was reportedly born at "Crooked Creek" in Hancock County in 1844, not long before Joseph and Hyrum were killed. Well, the Land & Records office identifies a block on the far north end of Parley Street where John and Mary Ann Boyce lived as "tenants" on block #9 during the Nauvoo period. The site is very near what is today known as "Inspiration Point" (which overlooks the Mississippi on the far north end of the Nauvoo settlement.)

This section of Nauvoo is now overgrown with only a narrow lane running through the woods there. The enclosed photo is, as best as I can tell, on the old Boyce Family block. "
