From a novel "The Forest" by Edward Rutherford
page 96:
"Bellus Locus, the abbey was called
in Latin---The Beautiful Place; in
Norman French: Beau Lieu. But the forest
people did not speak French, so
pronounced it Boolee or Bewley."
Came from Kentucky (according to sons
notation on 1910 and 1920
Census for Spokane, Wa.).
Did some kind of mining as he was killed
in a mine cave in and died in the
arms of his son Frank (Fielding), at
which time Frank left home for the
West Coast.
In a letter from Pat Fields:
My husband's grandmother was Susan Caroline
Boley, daughter of
Charlotte Martha Langley & Samuel
Franklin Boley.
Susan Caroline Boley married Alden Asbury
Fields: born 2 Dec l874; died
24 Nov l935. They were married 2 Dec
l895, we believe.
George Boley, brother of above, was
the youngest of the 5 living
children who was about 3 or 4 yrs. old
when Grandpa Boley was killed by
the cave-in of a small coal mine he
was working on the family's place.
Grandma Boley moved to town and supported
the family by taking in
washing and with the $l5/month widow's
pension. At the time of her
death, it was $32/month!
According to Family stories Samuel is
supposed to have fought in the
Civil War for the North and been a dispatch
rider for General Grant.

From: Mark Andersen <mander@montana.net>
To: FBouley@prodigy.net
Came across an old query (1997) regarding
Samuel Boley on the Carroll
County MO GenWeb site.
My gg grandfather John Newton Vance
purchased land from Samuel F.
Boley in Carroll County in 1868. At
about the same time he purchased
land from Elizabeth B. Boley. I assume
there was some relationship
between Samuel and Elizabeth, maybe
brother and sister in law?
John Vance and his wife are both buried
on the property purchased from
Elizabeth. We are trying to pinpoint
the location of the property.
From Eric Gordon:
BOLEY, Samuel Franklin- was born on
17 Sep 1834 in Ky. He died on 15
Oct 1888 in Mo. He married BEASLEY,
Mary E.. She was born on 15 Mar
1845 in OH. She died on 3 Jan 1927 in
WA. (Wrong information--She
died about 1870) They were married on
14 Oct 1855 in Mo. BOLEY,
Samuel Franklin- also married LANGLEY(CLARK),
Charolotte Martha-.
From Jo Boley Wahlgren:
I did obtain copies of military information
about him from the national
archives. The reason I have such an
interest in Samuel is that he served
for the north in the 'war', my great-grandfather
fought for the
'south'...however, he was a member of
the Missouri State Guard, which
was later absorbed by the Confederacy.
He was captured twice. The
first time, he went to prison and served
a short time in Alton, IL. The
second time, he escaped.

Dear Frank,
In the information that you sent, it
states that Sam Boley was both in
the 10th Mo. Infantry and the 10th Mo
Cavalry----followed by service in
2nd Mo Cavalry. From the dates and other
information, I suspect that
Sam Boley's regiment may have originally
formed as infantry and then
been merged with other companies to
form a cavalry regiment---the 2nd
Mo. Cavalry.
My great-grandfather, Joseph Bertels,
also served as a private in 10th MO Cavalry, Co. G.
I would appreciate hearing if you might
have additional information or letters from Sam Boley.
They both served under Capt. Benteen
who later survived Custer's Last Stand. (read "Harvest of Barren Regrets).
Regards, Jo

From "Complete Book of Immigrants 1700-1750"
by Peter Wilson
Coldham-p.162 : 16-19 April Shippers
by the William and Elizabeth of
London, Mr. William James, bound from
Plymouth for Boston: Peter
Gawden, SAMUEL BOULET. (Public Records
Office, Chancery Lane, London:
E190/1074/26). Is this my Samuels ancestor
perhaps? (Doubtful)
1840 (Reel M704) and 1850 (Reel M432)
for Kentucky census has been
searched.
Missouri1880 Census-Enum. Dist.175 Line 22 Sheet 30 V.21
Missouri census for 1850 ( reel M432
CARR 395 049 line 12) lists:
SAMUEL BOLEY 16 YRS. OLD-- FARMER--
BORN IN KENTUCKY (That would
make his birth date in Kentucky as 1834)
working for and staying with
Logan H. Ballow age 33 and wife Ann,29.
If this is Frank Sr. father, he would
have been 33 when he had Frank,
which is reasonable since Frank was
youngest of three. It also means he
would have been in his late 20's for
the Civil war.
IGI (1988) for Missouri (p.1803) lists:
1. Samuel F. Boley married to Mary E.
Beasley on 14Oct1855
2. Samuel F. Boley married to Charlotte
Martha Clark 5Apr1871
Both marriages in Carroll County.
Since Frank Sr. was born 5/Dec/1867
and his mother died shortly there
after, this fits.
Also another possibility. 1910 Spokane
census for Frank Sr. says his
father was from Kentucky and his mother
was from Virginia. Dad used to
say that he thought his grandmother
was a "Bowen of Kentucky" Could he
have mis-heard.? (Since Elizabeth remarried,
after Fielding left for the
Colorado gold fields, to a Bowen, it
would make sense that Grandfather
(Frank/Fielding) would have thought
that his grandmother was a Bowen.
He was three when she remarried.
James C. Neagles, U.S. Military Records:
A Guide to Federal and State
Sources, p.286 1861-65 Although it was
a slave state, Missouri
remained loyal to the Union during the
Civil War. Guerillas fighting in
Missouri and along the Arkansas border
attempted unsuccessfully to
separate Missouri from the Union. Missouri
contributed 109,111 soldiers
to the Union effort during the Civil
War, more than any other border
state.
Samuel listed as citizen of Hale, Carroll co. Mo. aged 52 in 1886
There is an S.F. Boley buried in Avalon
Cemetery in Fairview Township in
Livingston Co. Mo.
From Ron Martin
It's very possible that Samuel F. Boley
lived & was buried in Carroll
County, MO. His brother, William Alexander
Boley (b:1839 Hale, Carroll
Co.) and Wm.'s son William A. Boley
JR. (b:1882 Triplette, Carroll Co.)
were both born in Carroll County, MO.
Later my William A. Boley SR.& JR
moved to Sumner, Chariton Co where all
my Uncles & Aunts & my dad was
born (in 1920s). In 1933 after Wm A.
Boley SR. died, Wm. A. JR and his
family moved to Livingston Co. where
there are still relatives. Even I and
my siblings were born there in the 1940's
Wife's General Notes
According to Spokane Census of 1910,
grandpa (Fielding Franklin Boley)
said his mother was born in Virginia.
But family rumor has always said
"Bowen of Kentucky" However this was
probably a mistake and he was
probably referring to his grandmother
Elizabeth (nee Macdowell) who had
remarried a Bowen.
Frank Bouley Sr. , on his death certificate,
it says his mother was a
Bowen of West Virginia, but this information
was offered by Frank Jr.
who was not sure. She may have been
Beasley.
My father (Frank Bouley jr.) used to
say that he had heard his father refer
to his mother or grandmother as a "BOWEN
OF KENTUCKY" If my
grandfathers grandmother was Elizabeth
McDowell who had married
Fielding William Boley, son of Vincent,
then that is another "clincher"
for me as Fielding latter took off for
the gold fields and Elizabeth
married John Bowen in 1870 (three years
after the birth of my
grandfather whom I believe to be the
latter Fielding.) Naturally gramps
would have thought of his grandmother
as a "BOWEN"
SOURCES:
The 1870 Census for Chariton County,
Mo. gives Mary E. Boley as age 39
and lists her birth place as Missouri.
Information from Boley Affidavits:
First wife was Mary E. Boley nee Beasley
who died Chariton Co. Mo. in
