John Boyles I was born about 1744 in the British Province of Virginia, a few miles south of present day Petersburg and near the James River. He was the son of Irish immigrant, William Boyles I (abt 1720-abt 1818?), and Virginia born, Elizabeth R. Galvin (abt 1722-abt 1856?).
John I was born in America but his father was born in Ireland. He arrived in America from County Donagal, Ulster Province, Ireland around 1838. He sailed with his younger brother, Charles Boyles I (1722-?). The Irish surname of their Irish father (deceased?) was probably "O'Boyles". The two brothers (William & Charles), age 18 and 16, arrived in Norfolk, Virginia, having paid for their long passage across the Atlantic Ocean by working as deck hands on the ship.
William and his brother, Charles, settled initially in Virginia. However, by 1850, John I's uncle, Charles, had made his way from Virginia to Morris Co., New Jersey where he would met his future bride, Sarah Esthers (1725-abt 1773 ?), and where eight of his known children would be born. About 1780, he migrated to Hampshire Co., Virginia, then on to Randolph Co., Virginia, living in areas that would later become part of West Virginia in 1863. He died in Randolph Co., VA (now part of West Vriginia).
John's I's father, William, settled in Virginia, a few miles south of Petersburg near the James River. Located about 24 miles south of Richmond, NC, Petersburg is an independent city within the counties of Dinwiddie and Prince George. This is where John and at least six of his known siblings were born. About 1853-60, John's father, William I, decided to move his family to Rowan County in the British Province of North Carolina. John I was about 9-16 years of age at the time.
Rowan County had been created in 1753 and at that time was quite large. Six additional counties would eventually be formed from part of Rowan's original territory. They were Guilford Co. (1771), Surry Co. (1771), Burke Co. (1777), Iredell Co. (1788), Davidson Co. (1822) and Davie Co. (1836).
John's wife in currently unknown. While we do not know her name, we do know that she was definitely not Elizabeth Curd (1743-1836), as shown in some family trees. Different John. His family spelled their name "Bowles". We also know that John and his unknown wife had a son named John Boyles II (1770-1843). Born in Rowan Co., NC, John II married Margaret Whitaker (1765-1849), in 1790. John I and his unknown wife had another known son, Daniel Boyles (1764-1851), who married Susannah Carrico (1775-1830) about 1796.
John's son, John II, was the first of a line of three ministers of the Gospel. John II had a son named Josiah Augustus "Joseph" Boyles (1816-1894), who had a son named Marcus Wrightman "M. W." Boyles (1842-1892). All three were Methodist circuit preachers in North Carolina. Marcus (my maternal G-GF) had a son (my maternal GF), Augustus Clingman "A. C." Boyles (1867-1936), who became a medical doctor, also in North Carolina.
John I died in Rowan Co., NC, in 1770, about five months after the birth of his son, John II. Only 26 years of age, he was buried on his farm in Rowan Co., NC. It is not known when his currently unknown wife died or where she is buried.
