Education and career

Born on October 28, 1774, at "Castle Woods" in Botetourt County, Virginia,[1] Boyle moved with his father to Whitleys Station, Kentucky in 1779 and was educated by private tutors and in private schools.[2] He read law and was admitted to the bar in 1797.[1] He entered private in Lancaster, Kentucky from 1797 to 1802.[1] He was deputy counselor at law for the Kentucky Court of Quarter Sessions in 1797.[1] He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1800.[1]

Congressional service

Boyle was elected as a Democratic-Republican from Kentucky's 2nd congressional district to the United States House of Representatives of the 8th, 9th and 10th United States Congresses, serving from March 4, 1803, to March 3, 1809.[2] He was one of the managers appointed by the United States House of Representatives, in January 1804, to conduct the impeachment proceedings against Judge John Pickering, and, in December of the same year, against Associate Justice Samuel Chase.[2] He was Chairman of the Committee on Public Land Claims for the 9th and 10th United States Congresses.[2]

Boyle was appointed Governor of the Illinois Territory in 1809, but declined the position.[2] He was a Judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals from 1809 to 1826, serving as Chief Judge from 1810 to 1826.[1]
