Notes

From "Boyle Genealogy: John Boyle of Virginia and Kentucky", by John Boyle: (excerpts)

During the Revolution, John Boils was a soldier in the Virginia State line, while Charles Boils, and George Boyle, were soldiers of the Virginia line, Continental Establishment, all being from Orange county, as appears from the archives preserved there. And later, in 1796 and 1798, deeds appear of record, conveying to William Boyle lands lying near Newcastle, in what is now Craig county.

We know that he had at least one brother, and one sister.

We know that he was born not earlier than 1749, that his wife, Jane Black, was born in 1751, that they lived in Castle's Woods, where on April 5, 1774, he filed a surveyor's certificate for two hundred and sixty-two acres of land, there situated, the certificate being made out in the name of John Boles.—Summers Southwest Virginia, 811.
