The Boles of Fingreagh, Inishmagrath parish, co. Leitrim
Back to The Bowles of LeitrimA DNA Success Story
The roots of most families are found after years of family history research and DNA is often useful to confirm possible family connections. However, the Bowles DNA study hosted at FamilyTreeDNA has shown that the Edward Jervis Boles of Upper Fingreagh (ca. 1798 - 1850) was a direct descendant of the Boyle family of Ayrshire, Scotland. The line of descent from that Boyle to Edward is not yet known but it probably extends back to the settlement of many Scottish tenants in Ulster in the early 1600's either in one of the private estates established by Scottish Lords in counties Down and Antrim or during the English government's Plantation of Ulster which involved counties Armagh, Cavan, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Tyrconnell and Derry/Londonderry.
For more on the above see The Boles of Fingreagh in the Bowles DNA Project
I've located one potential source for this connection although it's probably not the only one. Bangor and Killyleagh in county Down were founded as estates in 1611 by James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Clandeboye of Ayrshire, Scotland. He didn't have a major holding in Scotland but his family was from near the Boyles of Kelburn. He planted his estate with Protestant Lowland Scots tenants including the preacher at Killyleagh, a John Bole, sometimes written Boile or Boill, in 1622. He was likely originally a Boyle. John Bole was a major headache to the English when he refused to swear the Black Oath of loyalty to King Charles I in 1639. He was summoned to Dublin from where he quickly just disappeared. However, he must have had other family members there as a rent roll of the Hamilton Estate in 1691 includes a William Bole at Ballow in Killinchy parish near Killileagh town and there are Boals living in that area today.
The Boles of Fingreagh may have arrived there from co. Fermanagh.
The Poll of Electors for co. Fermanagh in 1788 ref. includes: Surname Given Name Abodes Freeholds Bowles Alexr. Fingreagh DerngoghThis documents that an Alexander Bowles was living in Fingreagh, co. Leitrim by 1788 while holding a significant value of land in Derngogh, co. Fermanagh. The Boles (note: no 'w') had been at Dornogagh, co. Fermanagh since much earlier. See the Boles of Fermanagh.
Boles of Fingreagh References
A
deed of assignment dated 1803 refers to a Francis Bowls, father Edward
Bowls, deceased, and mother Anne Bowls nee Buchanan, at Fingreagh (deed
memorials vol. 548, p. 330, # 365455 at the Land Titles Office in
Dublin). An index of diocesan Wills lists Francis Boles of
'Fingraugh' as having died in 1817.
The
Tithe Applotment of Fingreagh in 1834 show that two people named Edward
Boles, possibly father and son, jointly held one lot of 47 acres 3 roods
and 16 perches of arable pasture land and 9a 3r 28p of rubble and
'sedgy' (ie. marshy grassland, basically bogland) pasture land in
Fingreagh while a possibly third Edward Boles held an adjacent second
lot of 25a 3r 18p of arable pasture and meadow land and 13a 1r 16p of
sedgy pastureland.
The Rent Books for Fingreagh in
1846 list Ed., E. and Edward Jervis Bowles as farming at Fingreagh.
This reference is from a web posting which is no longer online but which
gave this National Library of Ireland reference 'William Johnson: NL
MS.9465, rental of the Drumkeeran estate, 1845-56, all tenants, covering
townlands in the civil parish of Inishmagrath'. It would be
great if someone in Dublin could verify it. It might clarify the
two/three Edward Boles question.

A Partial Family Tree of the Boles of Fingreagh, co. Leitrim
From the above notes we have:Alexander Boles at Fingreagh in 1788
Edward Boles m. Anne Buchanan 1. Francis Boles at Fingreagh in 1803, possibly deceased in 1817 Edward Boles deceased in 1803 Anne living in 1803 Either two or three Edward Boles at Fingreagh in 1834 and 1846. One would be Edward Jervis Boles. Barbara Boles and John Boles at Fingreagh Upper and Edward Boles, Edward Boles Jr and Andrew Boles at Fingreagh Lower in 1856. Barbara would be a widow as a woman could not hold land unless it was in trust to a man usually an underage son or to a trustee 'for the length of her natural life'. Note: cheating a little by looking ahead, we know that Barbara Crawford Boles, widow of Edward Jervis Boles, had an eldest son James Boles born about 1820. As James is not holding any land in 1856, Edward had probably left the land to his widow for the length of her natural life but in trust and with reversion to James who, recently married in 1854, would probably be also living there with his family. John and Andrew who are holding land in their own right could be James' younger brothers or cousins, given the possibility of other Edward Boles at Fingreagh earlier. Hopefully, someone can answer that one for me. We actually know more about Edward Jr in Lower Fingreagh. Most surprisingly that while the Boles of Upper Fingreagh were Methodist, Edward Boles Jr of Lower Fingreagh was Catholic. We learn that from his Will of 1889. In his Will he requests burial under the rites of the Roman Catholic church. It also tells us much about his family through his bequests to his son John and daughter in law Ellen nee Sweeny and his grandchildren Mary and Kate, his son Edward then in Canada, his son-in-law John Flanagan Note: the photos in the following are courtesy of Gail Brodhead-Kae, a descendant of this line. Please see her excellent blog, Chips Off The Old Block, particularly her blog entry entitled 'Edward Boles family photos, late 1800s, early 1900s'. Gail may be contacted through her blog.
