A set of Boles siblings emigrated
from Ireland to Canada and settled in Lanark county.
The earliest record is of
Marjory Boles marrying David Milliken in Perth in 1832.
Her brother, Robert Boles and his
wife Joanna Hannolin settled first near Brockville about 1833 where
they raised a family but then moved on to settle Con. 9 Lot 19 just
east of Maberley, Sherbrooke South about 1845.
It's not known when their brother,
Matthew, arrived in Lanark county but he married Susan Johnston at
Perth in 1841. He also homesteaded nearby at Con. 9 Lot 22
east of Maberley.
There may also have been two other
Boles sisters who also married in Lanark county in the 1830's, Mary
Anne (m. John Armstrong) and Jane (m. William Latimer).
It's not known whether their father
accompanied them to Canada but their widowed mother, Sarah Boles,
lived with Robert according to the 1851 census of Lanark co.
