    1. [S10] R.W. Ryan.
      Descendants of Benjamin R Boley, Sr.
      Generation No. 1
      1. BENJAMIN R1 BOLEY SR. He married PATIENCE W DANIEL November 15, 1798 in Charlotte County, Virginia.
      Notes for BENJAMIN BOLEY:

      1810 census shows Benjamin Boley as having 1 boy over 10, 2 boys under 10 and 1 girl under 10.

      1830 Census Bedford County - Lists Presley Bowley, a Betsy Boley with two small girls, and a name I can not make out. It looks like a Gr??? or Gorea B Bowley. There are five males and one female in this household. The male ages are: one 40 to 50, two 30 to 40, and two under 5. The female is age 20 to 30.

      Analysis of the 1810 and 1830 census along with other documentation (Presley Boleys pension application, DAR applications, family bibles for John Boley and Elvira Boley Edwards, etc.) I believe the children of Benjamin R Boley, Sr. are: Parham A. Boley [or Asa P. Boley] that married Elizabeth Feare [Fair] in 1822; Lafayette Boley; Elvira Boley who married James Edwards in 1829 [Parham Boley was a witness at the wedding of Elvira Boley; and, Pleasant Boley that married Gabrilla Crank in 1834.

      Since Pleasant M Boley didn't marry until 1834, he could be one of the two listed on the 1830 census as being between 30 - 40. Parham A Boley married a Elizabeth Feare in 1824. He migrated to Caswell County NC, I believe, about 1830 only because he was bondsman to Elvira B Boley marriage in 1829. I believe the Betsy Boley that appears on this census to be his wife Elizabeth Fear (Fair). In 1850 Parham Boley is listed on the Caswell census as age 50, with his daughter Amanda Simpson and Esther D Fair. In 1854 he married Esther. If I am right about the time he migrated to NC, he could not have been one of the other Boley males listed in this Gr??? B Boley household in 1830.

      Children of BENJAMIN BOLEY and PATIENCE DANIEL are:
      1.1. PARHAM ASA2 BOLEY, b. November 23, 1800.
      1.2. PLEASANT M BOLEY, b. May 20, 1805.
      1.3. LAFAYETTE BOLEY, b. October 01, 1803.
      1.4. ELVIRA F BOLEY, b. October 07, 1807.

      Thanks to Raymond W. Ryan, Jr.
      Marriage Bond Date; they were married on January 15, 1829. In closing, I am available, if needed, for any further questions in regard to OUR ncestors & kin!

      Possibly the 1870 Halifax County Census was taken on or before April 1870, the month and year that James Edwards died, because after that date widow Elvira Boley Edwards had moved in with her daughter and son-in-law as shown on the 1870 Census of Cecil County, Md. 'age 63 widow.'
      Not unusual as my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Coghill
      Liggan (widow of Robert) is shown with her children on both the 1850 censuses of New Kent County and Henrico County.

      Kind regards,
      Raymond W. Ryan, Jr.
