He invented a new process for building roads with a smooth hard surface that would be more durable and less muddy than plain dirt, called 'macadamization'. He was born in _Ayr_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Ayr&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) , _Scotland_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=222 2&dekey=Scotland&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) . He moved to _New York_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&de key=New+York&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) in 1770 as a young man and made his fortune working at his uncle's counting-house with a successful career as a merchant and prize agent during the American Revolution. He returned to _Scotland_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Scotland&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) in 1783 and purchased an estate at Sauchrie, _Ayrshire_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Ayrshire&gwp=8&c urtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) . As an estate-owner and road trustee, he then commenced work on finding ways to improve the notoriously bad roads of Great Britain. His eventual conclusion was that roads needed to be raised above the surrounding ground, and carefully constructed from layered rocks and gravel. He wrote two treatises documenting his research, Remarks on the Present System of Road-Making (1816) Practical Essay on the Scientific Repair and Preservation of Roads (1819). In 1820 Parliament awarded him 2,000 pounds for his efforts and in 1827 he was made Surveyor-General of metropolitan roads. When he was appointed surveyor to the Bristol Turnpike Trust in 1816 he remade the roads under his control with crushed stone bound with gravel on a firm base of large stones. A camber, making the road slightly convex, ensured the rainwater rapidly drained off the road and did not penetrate the foundations. This way of building roads later became known as the _Macadamized system_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222& dekey=Macadam&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) . When a macadam road was built, side ditches were dug, and the road bed was laid with three layers of decreasingly-sized rocks, carefully pulverized "so as not to exceed 6 ounces in weight or to pass a two-inch ring." The finished road was compacted with a cast-iron roller, and the compaction process was completed by passing traffic. As a result of his success, McAdam was made surveyor-general of metropolitan roads in _England_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=England&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) . By the end of the _19th century_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=19th+century&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) , most of the main roads in Europe were built in this way. John McAdam died at Moffat, Scotland. The first macadamized road in North America was completed in 1830. Although macadamization was replaced by more modern techniques in the early 1900s, the name lives on. _Tarmac_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Tarmac&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03 a) was originally marketed as tar-macadam, because it was a macadamized road incorporating a binder of _tar_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Tar&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) . Modern road surfaces are still largely dependent on McAdam's discovery. Coal tar was first used to bind the stones together, hot-laid tarred aggregate or tar-sprayed chips providing an excellent road-metalling for the surface. Oil-based _asphalt_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Asphalt&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) from _Trinidad and Tobago_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Trinidad+and+Tobago&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) and from refineries was later used as a road surfacing, laid on reinforced concrete, but still owes a lot to McAdam as it is mixed with granite or limestone chippings. This process became known as _Tarmacadam_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Tarmac&gwp=8&curt ab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) (a short form of which is used to refer to airplane runways: "tarmac"). McAdam never really achieved the respect that was his due. He was paid the sum of £5,000 for works done for Turnpike Trusts around _Bristol_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Bristo l&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) , but a proposal for £5,000 from _Parliament_ (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=ota4hxkldxpd?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Parliament&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc03a) as a grant for his expenses was first refused, then cut to £2,000, mainly due to professional jealousy. Corruption in roadworks was appalling; by his own efficiency, MacAdam exposed the abuse of road tolls by less scrupulous Turnpike Trusts, many of which were run at a deliberate loss despite high toll receipts. Travellers of all kinds respected McAdam, but those whose scams he had revealed remained his bitter enemies. His reputation has nevertheless survived, as the Scotsman who paved the way for development.

Denise, I have not put anything into the library files. I have however contributed alot of things that I find as I research for others into the binders at the genealogical society.| Every obiturary that I find for other people, I give to Alice who works on the obits binders and index. I even find one that have nothing to do with the people who I am working for and those I usually send to a person that I know is doing that family.... Once a family is stuck in my head-- I am forever remembering and sending those to the researchers. Those also go to Alice. I copied a file on Clark from the library with the intent of keeping it at the genealogical society after I am finished so if the Thomas Clark file comes up missing the copy is at the society.| I also keep files for a while when I do them for people so that I can remember what is what if they should mail me back. I have contributed some files to the library on my own family and ones that I have completed. Also when someone sends me a Gedcom. I have it on floppy so that is kept and could be printed out and some of them have be printed. My computer room is full of files that I can call upon to help someone when the name and information bears repeating. I can't speak for the others but this is the system I try to use. I have started scannning material and sending it by way of email so that people may print out the information for their own files.

Hi Barbara, I wanted you to know that I checked the online records in neighboring Lawrence County, Ohio, and did not see a marriage for Gilbert. I also checked the LDS website to see if they had a listing for marriage for him and did not find one there either. It was pretty common for folks to cross the river or into the next county for a marriage. West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky all come together there in that area. Don't rule any of them out.

Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger April 13, 1876 GALLIA Gallipolis collected $4, 085.90 for wharfage the year ending March 1st. Six prisoners were, recently, sent to the penitentiary from this county. Mr. W. H. Markin, of Harrison township, lost his dwelling by fire on the morning of March 25th. The Gallipolis Journal says: On Monday night of last week, Mr. J. F. Robinson, Township Treaseurer of Morgan township, retired to bed as usual, placing under his pillow $700 of township funds, the same being in two separate packages of $500 and $200. --- Some time during the night the $500 roll was taken, the other remaining untouched. Mr. Dan M. Coffman, of Gallipolis, while recently in Cincinnati, put a letter addressed to his wife in the hands of a partial stranger, to be taken to the post office. The latter opened the letter and finding therein reference to certain money deposited in a Gallipolis bank, in the name of the wife, forged an order in the name of Mr. C. and went at once to Gallipolis where he obtained $750 of the money from Mrs. C., since which he has not been heard of.

Thanks Cheryl. I have a copy of the Jacob pages 173 & 187. All that has is the inventory of his estate but no mention of children, etc. I thought maybe the probate records or land records would have something recorded where the children's names are mentioned. Based on the census in 1830 he would have had children. Also, the same for William. I'm also most sure either Jacob or William is Jane's father but just got to find something to show it. Thanks for any help you can provide. -----Original Message----- From: cheryl enyart [mailto:trayne1837inc@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 6:50 PM To: OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: FW: [OHGALLIA-L] Searching for Boyles Jacob E-1834 JWBD ppgs 173,187 None for William .

I'm trying to research the parentage of Jane Boyles and am suspicious that either a William Boyles or Jacob Boyles might be her father but can't find any clues. They are both living in Gallia Co. during the early 1800's. Jane was born in Ohio @ 1812-1813 and married Daniel Dulaney (Delaney) September 19, 1830. in Gallia Co. They lived in Raccoon Township through 1840 and shortly after migrated to Champaign Co., IL. I assume she was born in Gallia Co. There were quite a few Boyles getting married in Gallia Co., during the 1820-1840's but don't know if they are her siblings or not. I have a copies of the originals from the will book of Jacob Boyles about the selling of property for his estate in 1834 but there is no mention of children, etc. and his wife Sally was made administrator. Does anyone have access to an index of probate records to see if there is anything for either a Jacob Boyles or even William Boyles? Or any information is welcomed! Thanks, Sharon Hobart Ft.
