Born in Quebec, Canada, Boynton received a B.B.S. from Glasgow Normal University, Kentucky in 1888 and an LL.B. from the University of Michigan in 1891. He was in private practice in Waco, Texas from 1891 to 1907.

Boynton was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 17, 1924, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on May 1, 1947, serving in that capacity until his death, in 1954, in Dallas, Texas.
