The earliness of the ultrasound is very helpful in your case -- if you had not had one for two or three months, it would be more iffy, but a 7th week ultrasound is usually very close to spot on (would only be off by a day or two if it is off at all).  The conception calculator gives the following for a due date of March 30:

     Probable date of ovulation:  July 7
     Possible dates of conception:  July 3 to 11
     Due date:  March 30 (40 weeks)

It sounds like all the sperm from the guy on June 24 would have been dead by the time you ovulated, and like your boyfriend is the dad.

This is just close enough that I would recommend doing a DNA test after the baby is born, but in your shoes I would not worry over it -- just do a drugstore test with the other guy, to rule out the unexpected.  (Or do it with your boyfriend if he knows.)  This is not because your dates give a strong cause to worry, but because you don't want to ever have to wonder.  I think it's your boyfriend's.

Once they get actual measurements from the actual embryo, it doesn't signify much when the first day of the last period was.  A woman can ovulate at one week, two weeks, three weeks or more, from her last period.

You can put your dates into a conception calculator, but they will only be accurate (or near accurate) if your first ultrasound was early in your pregnancy.  You said the ultrasound was your trans V, but you didn't say when you had it, i.e., how many weeks along you were.
