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. Between 1790 and 1800 he came to Ontario and established the Boyle family in the Dominion, locating in Amherstburg, where he engaged in the hotel business and also carried on merchant tailoring, making clothes for many of the soldiers during the War of 1812-14. He also owned much landed property in Malden township, on which he and his wife were buried, in their private cemetery. An incident of interest occurred at their home in Amherstburg which demonstrates that private hoards are sometimes as insecure as banking establishments. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle were frightened from their home one time, and upon leaving Mrs. Boyle tied $1,800 in gold in a handkerchief and secreted it under a stone in the cellar. When they returned the gold was missing, the house having been entered during their absence. The children of these pioneer people were as follows: Dr. James (deceased) was for many years a physician in New York City; Thomas is mentioned below; Richard is a farmer at Colchester South; Mary died unmarried; Elizabeth married Nehemiah Palmer; Nancy married Henry Dodge.
     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...
