      Frances Edith Boley m: 1838 to David A. Miller in MO. David was killed by
      guerillas in 1864 (Civil War). F.E. Boley Miller died 1902 and was one of
      the founders of the Mt Olivet Methodist Church on hwy 15, between
      Mexico, MO and Paris, MO. The church burned down in the 1970s.

      Virgil D. White's "Index to War of 1812 Pension Files,"
      There are four BOLEY/BOWLEY, one BOLLY/BOWLEY, and one BOLY in War
      of 1812 pension application files at the National Archives in
      Washington, D.C. Whether one or more of the BOLEY/BOLLY/BOLY/BOWLEY
      records will turn out to relate to Frank Bouley's family can only be
      discovered by reading the files of "BOLEY, Frederick, srv. USN, See Rev
      War Files, srv 1798-1800 in French War, BLW Reg #1396-55; John (or
      BOWLEY) SC-24400, srv Carver Willis' Co VA Mil, lived Fauquier Co, VA;

      Pvt in 22nd US Inf in War of 1812." ["sd" means soldier died and "wd"
      means widow died]

      Virgil D. White's "Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War
      Pension Files" contains an abstract of the pension file of
      Frederick BOLEY mentioned above, and that of "BOLEY, Prestley,
      S39204, Cont Line (VA), sol appl 20 Aug 1818 Bedford Co VA, in
      1820 sol was aged 66 with wife Polly aged 37 & children; Harriet
      16, Martha 14, John 12 & William aged 10, sol d 20 May 1838."
      John D. Gwathmey's "Historical Register of Virginians in the
      Revolution" lists "BOLEY, Peter, 4 CL," "BOLEY, Presley, Corp. 1
      Light Dragoons," and "BOLEY, Priestley, Bedford pensioner."
      Speaking of the vagaries of spelling, I wondered whether Presley,
      Priestley, and Prestley, were the same person. I then checked the
      Centennial edition of the DAR "Patriot Index" where I found only
      the following single entry under the heading BOLEY: "Pressley
      Mountford: b 12-15-1766 VA d 5-20-1838 VA m Polly A. -- Pvt CL PNSR"
      ["CL" means "Continental Line" and "PNSR" means pensioner].

      If James R. Boley is brother to Fielding (as it appears) here is
      information on him:
      James R. Boley, was born whithin a mile and a half of Danville,
      Kentucky, in 1808. In 1829 he removed from Kentucky to Madison Co., ILL
      and in 1832 from there to MO. In 1834 he came to Carroll Co, and after a
      residence in Combs Township for six years, he moved north and settled
      in the north-west corner of Township fifty-four, twenty-two. There
      were then not many more than a dozen families living in the east part of
      the County north of Big Creek. No settlements had been made at all on
      the prairie, and the whole country was a wilderness. His first wife was
      Jemima W. Gentry, whom he married in Kentucky. His first wife having
      died, he was married in 1853, to Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips, whose maiden
      name was Lynch. Mrs. Boley was born in TN in 1815, and in all
      probability there is no person now living who was in Carroll Co. at an
      earlier date. Her father David Lynch, came to the Co about 1819, or
      1820, at the same time with Nathaniel Cary, when she was only four
      years old. Her parents soon afterward, on account of sickness, moved to
      Lafayette Co, where she resided til 1841, when she came back to Carroll
      CO. Mr Boley has been an old Whig and now Democrat in politics. He has
      been a pioneer of his section of the Co. And both he and his wife are
      hearty and vigourous in view of their advanced years, and the
      hardships they have undergon in the early settlement of the country.

      Note from Linda Brown calebsmimi@hotmail.com
      "I have a document stating that Vincent's wife's name was Ann, whose mother was Mary, wife
      of Edward Ball. I found this in the library in Columbia, Ky
      (Adair co.)" ........" I have hit a brick wall with Vincent. I can only find a document where
      Vincent required a lawyer to take care of his wife, Ann,
      inheritance from her mother, Mary Ball, wife of Edward Ball"
