Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 501-502:
Reuben Bruner, an esteemed resident of Gosfield South, County of Essex, is probably one of the most venerable citizens of this locality, belonging to one of the old families.
      In early days three youths, George, Adam and Henry Bruner, accompanied their widowed mother to the County of Essex, and lived for a time on Grosse Ile. Later, when their mother married a Mr. Tofflemire, the family removed to Cedar Creek, and there the lads were reared. Of these, George was the father of our subject. Adam began farming at Olinda, but soon returned to Cedar Creek. Henry was the grandfather of J.S., Amon and Wellington Bruner, sketches of whom will be found elsewhere. A sister, Susan, married Jonas Fox.
      George Bruner, like his brothers, was born in Pennsylvania. When he located in Gosfield township on his own responsibility, he settled on Lot 21, Concession 5, a government tract of 200 acres, cut the first timber on it, and built his first rough log cabin about ten rods north of our subject's current home. Later he built a two story hewed log house, which was torn down some ten years ago. He was obliged to pay a double tax on this house, as he had indulged in the comfort of a double row of windows. George Bruner lived in this home during his life, and saw much of his land cleared. In 1828 he sold fifteen acres to the Furnace Company, the plant of which was operated until around 1840, much of the surrounding land being cleared to supply charcoal. Mr. Bruner died May 12, 1834, aged fifty-seven years. He married Elizabeth Tofflemire, daughter of Martin Tofflemire, who came here from Kentucky, although he lived originally in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Bruner died in 1868, aged eighty-four years. The children born to them were the following: Eve died in infancy; Mary, who died aged eighty years, married (first) John Reaves, and (second) William Wood; Martha, wife of Thomas Boyles, of Amherstburg, died aged eighty-one years; Lazarus married Ann Skinner, and died in 1838; Ruth married Benjamin Slater and died in Gosfield; Abraham married Mary A. Mickle, and lived on a part of the homestead; Susan was the second wife of the late Benjamin Slater; and Rachel was the third wife of Benjamin Slater; Reuben; Isaac died aged two and a half years; Nancy married George Foster, and at the time of her death lived in Romney; Elizabeth married Thomas Corlett, and lived in Gosfield.
      Reuben Bruner was born March 23, 1823, on the place where he grew to manhood and received his education...

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 597-598:
William Boyle, a genial resident of Amherstburg and a man highly respected throughout the County of Essex, is descended from Irish ancestry. His grandfather, John Boyle, was born in Londonderry, Ireland, and died in the County of Essex, Ont...
     Of this family, Thomas Boyle, the father of our subject, was born May 10, 1807, in Malden township, where for many years he carried on farming, but during the latter part of his life he had an office in Amherstburg, where he loaned money and looked after his business investments. He married Martha Bruner, who was born in Gosfield South, May 10, 1810. Both Mr. and Mrs. Boyle died in Malden township, and were buried in the private cemetery on the homestead, the death of Mr. Boyle occurring in 1877 and that of his wife in 1852. The children born to them were as follows: George, a carpenter, now living retired in Malden township; John, an iron moulder of Detroit; Thomas, deceased, for many years a lawyer of Amherstburg; Rosana, who died at the age of ten; Robert, deceased, who was a moulder in Bay City, Michigan; William; Elizabeth, widow of Louis Hahn, Detroit; James, professor of music, residing in the States; and Abram, a farmer of Malden township.
     William Boyle was born on the old homestead in Malden township, Oct. 13, 1840, and there resided until twenty-one years of age, when he went to Detroit, and for sixteen years was engaged in the foundry business, being a stockholder in the concern with which he was connected. At the expiration of this period Mr. Boyle returned to Malden township, where he looked after real estate interests until 1901, at which time he moved to his very pleasant home in Amherstburg, on the river front. From this residence the view is magnificent, all of the traffic of the Great Lakes being in sight and a very interesting spectacle is thus presented during the navigation season.
     On May 31, 1870, Mr. Boyle married Miss Amanda Hahn, daughter of Louis Hahn, of Detroit; no children have come to this union. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle are consistent members of the Church of England, and politically Mr. Boyle is a Conservative. Fraternally he is a member of Thistle Lodge, No. 34, A.F. & A.M., of Amherstburg, and he is very popular in that organization, as he is throughout the country. Mr. Boyle takes a deep interest in the growth of Amherstburg and demonstrates his confidence by investing largely in real estate in the town and surrounding country, and he has not only been successful financially, but has gained a host of warm personal friends, by whom he is deeply esteemed.
