That would be great Cheryl. All I know so far is that Jacob Boyles lived in Raccoon Township in 1830 and I think he died in 1837. William Boyles showed in Springfield township in 1830 but I don't find him in 1840 so I don't know if he died or moved away. This may be a wild goose chase and I appreciate it if you could look. I'd be happy to pay for any copy charges if you find documents that mention a daughter of Jane Dulaney(Delaney) -----Original Message----- From: cheryl enyart [mailto:trayne1837inc@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 8:57 PM To: OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: FW: [OHGALLIA-L] Searching for Boyles Land Records are not in probate, they are in the recorders office.Do you know what township they came out of? I have to make a trip to the courthouse this week, I could try and find them. Cheryl Sharon Hobart <slhobart@sbcglobal.net> wrote: 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.
