(maiden name unknown) Joe was born in ohio and June in PA. David was born june 30 1942. Both parents died in LA, california. That was the also the birth place of my father william. Please help me out if you have ANY information. Thank you

I have a more complete history of the Henry Harts Boley family. I went to the BYU Library and found the manuscripts written by a granddaughter.

BOLEY ANCESTORS

Our Boley ancestors did not begin with the name Boley. Our immigrant ancestor was Johan "Georg" Bohlich who came to the United States in 1754. Although he spelled his name as Bohlich on the original ship's list, it can be found spelled in any number of ways here in the U.S. on official documents - tax records, census, church records, baptisms and marriages, etc. We've seen it spelled Balch, Bolch, Bolk, Bohlich, Bolich, Bolick, Boleck, Bollich, Bollick, Bolig, Bolig0h, Bollig, Boleigh, Boli, Polich, Poley, and who knows what all else.
Georg's descendants can be found using many different versions of this proud name. Our branch of the family comes through Georg's son Johan "Peter", whose children all seem to have changed the family name to Boley around 1840, probably in an attempt to have a more Americanized version of the name that might be easier to spell.xp
In old German tradition, sons are all given the same first name as their father with a different middle name, which they are then known by. Usually only one son is known by his first name. Notice that Georg's sons are all named Johan/Johannes with different middle names and records almost all call them by their middle name.
**Johan "Georg" Bohlich was born in Europe around 1718, and was probably married before coming to America in 1754. William Malane was the captain of the "Neptune" on the trip and brought 149 passengers with him from Hamburg, Hanover and Saxony, docking December 13, 1754 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two records list our George - The Captain's List, which is made out by the captain, and the Qualification List, which is usually signed by the passenger. The Captain's List includes the name of Hans George Bohlig, age 36.
Beginning in 1727, each male immigrant over sixteen years of age and who was not of English ancestry qualified for entrance into the Colony upon arrival at the port by taking an oath of allegiance to the British Crown and a declaration of abjuration and fidelity to the Proprietor and laws of the Province of Pennsylvania. The Qualification list is headed "The Foreigners whose Names are underwritten Imported in the Neptune, Captain William Malane, from Hamburg, did on the 13th December 1754 take the usual Qualification to the Government before William Plumstead, Esquire, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia" and is signed "Johan Georg Bohlich", the tenth name from the top of the list. He was evidently an educated man because rather than using an "X", he actually signed his name on the Qualification list.
Georg was listed as a "nailer" on the 1785 tax register, which we presumed meant he was known as a carpenter, but other sources list him as a shoemaker. Johan Georg Bohlich is listed in the records of the Evangelical Lutheran (Trappe) Church, New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA as signing a promise to pay 5 shillings annually toward the salary of Rev. Muhlenberg.
Georg's wife's name was Catharine as found on several of the children's baptism records.   Johan George BOHLICH and Catherine had the following children:
1. Johan "Valentine" BOLICH
2. ** Johan "Peter" BOLICH. (see below)
3. Johan "George" BOLICH Jr.
4. Anna Maria BOLICH
5. Barbara BOLICH
6. Elisabeth BOLICH
7. Eva Catharine BOLICH
8. Johannes/John BOLICH
9. Thomas BOLICH
10. Magdalena BOLICH

We have currently verified that George paid taxes in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania in 1769 (name spelled Boligh) and 1774 (name spelled Bolich). By 1779, he had moved to Caernarvon Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania and paid taxes there (name spelled Bolich) and again in 1780 and 1781 and 1785 (name spelled Bolig all three times). He appeared in a household in Caernarvon Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania with 1 female (presumably his wife) in the first U.S. census in 1790 (spelled Boligh).
George died in November or December 1797 as his will was dated November 10, 1797 and probated December 30, 1797 in Berks County, Pennsylvania.   In the will he left money to his wife Judith, so we presume that Catherine died at some point and he re-married although at this point no record of the death and re-marriage has been found. It could also be that his wife's name was Catherine Judith and she came to be known more by her middle name in later life.
**Johan "Peter" Bolich was born about 1748. He served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Captain John Robinson's company. He was listed as a guard for prisoners of war.
Peter was a shoemaker. He was married to Catherine RIES on 21 Nov 1782 by Reverend Frangott Frederick Illing. Catherine RIES was born about 1761. In her marriage record to JP Bolich, she is listed as being from Providence, Philadelphia County. Also, one source lists her last name as RIES, while another lists it as BLES (possibly Bliss?).
Peter owned property and paid taxes in 1785 in Caernarvon Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. He appeared on the census in 1790 (Boligh) and 1800 (Bolich) in Caernarvon Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA.
Johan "Peter" Bolich died about 1804. His will was probated on 7 Jul 1804 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. Sometime after 1840 his children all seem to have changed their last name to Boley, perhaps in an attempt to Americanize it.

**Henry BOLEY was born on 14 Apr 1795 in Robeson Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. He died on 2 Jan 1881. He was married to Barbara Ann HARTS about 1818. Barbara Ann HARTS was born on 10 Oct 1793 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA, of German ancestry. She died in 1869. Henry BOLEY and Barbara Ann HARTS had the following children: Cyrus Charles BOLEY, **Henry Harts BOLEY and Mary Ann BOLEY.
The following was written by granddaughter Edith Boley Jones, Historian of Adams camp and Daughters of Utah Pioneers,Utah County American Fork, Utah
Henry and Barbara joined the church in Pennsylvania where Henry was called to be a missionary to the people there. He traveled by foot and without money and converted a number of people. They then left their prosperous farm and joined the saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. There they were endowed in the Nauvoo temple on Feb 6, 1846 and were sealed in the Endowment House July 3, 1853.
In 1850 they joined the Saints moving to Utah. On the journey Henry was called to be a captain of teams.
At a meeting held in Salt Lake City, October 1852, Brother Boley spoke of his mission in Pennsylvania and bore his testimony to the truth of the work of the Lord, and that Joseph, Brigham, Heber and Jedediah were Prophets of the Lord. He also proposed that the missionaries who have just returned go and strengthen their brothern throughout the territory of Utah. This proposal was carried out unanimously. President Brigham Young exhorted the people to let the words of Brother Boley sink into their hearts and stay there. Then he blessed the congregation in the name of the Lord.
Henry assisted the company of Saints who came from Texas, a train of 24 wagons loaded with merchandise for Gilbert and Gerrish of Salt Lake City. One instance he met a company of 28 wagons of merchandise. In the same company were 23 wagons with nearly two hundred Danish Saints and 14 wagons of English Saints. Henry assisted the immigrants in crossing the plains of Wyoming and into the Valleys of the Mountains.
Henry and Barbara were sent to settle in American Fork to establish a home and engage in farming. In 1853 all settlers in Lake City (the original name of American Fork) were instructed to "fort up." This meant they were to move their log cabins inside a specified area and each household would be responsible to built their share of the wall. The new fort area contained approximately 40 acres, with the eastern boundary located near the present 100 East Street. The northern wall erected a few rods north of the present 100 North Street. The wall was located about eight yards back of the houses, constructed of clay or adobe bricks. Originally intended to be 12 feet high, six feet wide at the base and two feet at the top, the wall was never to reach more than six to eight feet in height. As the Indian threat abated, the necessity of completing the wall became less pressing and the work on the wall finally ceased. The map shows 64 dwellings, one store, a grist mill, a blacksmith shop, a brew house, a tithing office and a meeting house. Many original families are represented by their progeny today, as the lands have been passed on from one generation to another. The original James Clarke, Stephen Chipman, Henry Boley, Thomas Shelley and Thomas Proctor home sites are still occupied with homes of their children or grandchildren or by businesses operated by their families.
Barbara Ann became very ill and died in 1869. She was remembered for keeping a tidy home and her gift of cooking.
In 1870 Henry married Mary Madsen in the Endowment House the 15th of Aug 1870. Henry died January 2, 1881 in American Fork, Ut.

**Henry Harts BOLEY was born October 11, 1823 in East Earl, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The following was written by granddaughter Edith Boley Jones, Historian of Adams camp and Daughters of Utah Pioneers,Utah County American Fork, Utah
Henry’s ancestors came to Pennsylvania from Berlin, Germany. After joining the Latter Day Saint Church the Boleys settled in Nauvoo with the saints. They built a home and owned a small farm at Nauvoo.
Henry was always on hand to help the Prophet and assist if any trouble arose. Henry records:
“Tuesday, December 19, 1843, under this date at one p.m. I was present when the Legion paraded near the temple. They were inspected by the officers and instructed to prepare themselves with arms and ammunition and to hold themselves in readiness for a moment’s notice. I, Brother Henry H. Boley, was shot severely under the arm by the accidental discharge of my own gun.”
When the Saints were driven out of Nauvoo, Henry and his wife with their family were among the first to start for the Valleys of the Mountains. They crossed the plains in 1852 and came to Utah in the company of G.A. Smith. Brother Boley was chosen as Captain of the teams. Fifty teams and two or three hundred oxen, steers and cows.
On August 5, he gave a report of a stampede. There are few who can realize the danger of such a thing. Picture yourselves two or three hundred head of frightened oxen, steers and cows running bellowing, roaring, foaming, and mad and furious, the ground shaking beneath their feet like an earthquake, chains rattling, yokes breaking, horns flying. And the loud cry of the guard, “Everyone in camp turn out.”
Horses were mounted and in the darkness of the night, through high grass, mud and mire, pursued the bellowing and furious herd, leaving the women and children frightened with a very few guards with rifles to guard the camp. After a few hours perhaps the cattle will begin to weary and settle down. And if luck and good fortune attends, the horsemen will herd them and drive them back to camp, except those that swim the rivers. The terrors of a stampede are not so soon forgotten. Good chains and ropes to tie-up would prevent all this. A part of a prayer offered by Henry after the stampede is as written: “I close by saying, may peace and the blessings of heaven attend you all, and let your prayers ascend to heavens throne for our welfare, and not only us but all the camps. May we all meet in the Valley of the Mountains of Joseph is the prayer of your brethern in Christ. Amen”
Sunday, October 28, George A. Smith called upon President Young in the morning having arrived the previous evening and informed President Young that the immigrants under his direction, with Henry H. as Captain of teams, were at the mouth of Emigration Canyon and invited him to go out to meet them. President Young and George A. Smith met the company and returned to Salt Lake City with the company.
Henry H. Boley owned the block of fourth east and third South. They built a humble small log home on this block. They were chosen to go to American Fork to settle and help build this city. ”I turned my home and land at Salt Lake City to Brother Callahan for a wagon team, a cow, a plow, a sack of flour, and some potatoes then started for American Fork to build another home and take up land to farm.
On June 19, 1843 Henry Harts married Elizabeth Arcena Davis, affectionately know as Betsy, in American Fork.
The log home that is known as the Logie Home was their first home in American Fork. Here their first children were born. Later they built a home in the south part of town. After building this home the D.R.G. Railroad track was constructed a few feet from the house cutting one corner off the lot.
The Boley family were very kind and willing to share their home with the more unfortunate. They were very good friends with the Indians. An Indian mother gave birth to a baby in the brush back of their home. Mrs. Boley was very kind and helpful to her. After a few weeks had passed the woman came to the Boley home and gave the baby to the family. This child was loved and cared for as her own. The mother was ill and later died. The child didn’t live many years. Mrs. Boley mourned the loss of this boy as she would her own.
Henry and Elizabeth were the proud parents of twelve children, six boys and six girls. Eleven of this family lived to marry and have families. Edwin died at the age of one year.
She was known to the community as a very lovable and unselfish person. She shared with those in need. She was always willing to keep her in-laws and anyone else who needed a home. She brought cheer and love where ever she went, especially to those who were in trouble.
On 28 Nov 1870 Henry married Elizabeth’s sister, Hannah Jane Davis, after the death of her husband. They were married in Salt Lake City in the endowment house.
Henry H. Boley died June 19, 1876 of lingering affects of the gun wound inflicted while standing guard at the Temple of Nauvoo.
Elizabeth died at her home after attending a medicine show and a lecture in June 1892.
Elizabeth was born September 12, 1822 in Rochester, Columbiana, Ohio, daughter of Isaac and Edith Richards Davis. The Davis family came to Pennsylvania from Peter Grove, Salem, New York of Welsh descent. After joining the church they immigrated to Nauvoo.
The Boley family was known to be kind and generous.

Concerning the Boley family the following is an account written by Anna Marie Boren Bigelow:
John Greer, the man who had been buying my butter and eggs, came and told me the market was overstocked and he would be unable to take my butter and eggs until the market got better. I had seven cases of eggs and one hundred pounds of butter and no place to sell them. I was feeling very down hearted, when a lady from American Fork came in the store; I told her my troubles. She said she was sure that I could sell at American Fork. I said if there is any chance of selling we will go in the morning. The lady said she would like to go with us as she wanted to go home. We left the next morning before daylight. When we got to American Fork, the lady took me to E. H. Boley, who had a meat market and grocery store. She introduced me to Mr. Boley. I told him what I had to sell. He said "My good lady, the market is overrun with farm produce, I would like to buy, but I just can't do it." I turned and started out, when he said, "Mrs. Boren, are you a widow?" I could not speak, but the lady that took me to see him spoke to him and said, "Mr. Boley, this lady is worse off than a widow; she has a sick husband and a family to keep." Mr. Boley said "I have never refused to help a widow, and I am not going to refuse you; I will take your butter and eggs, and next week bring me some more and I will take all you can bring me." My prayers were answered, & I did not forget to thank my Heavenly Father that night before I went to sleep. We bought a load of groceries from Mr. Boley. The next morning at daylight we were on our way home. That night people came to see if we had sold our butter and eggs; when I told them we had and we could sell all we could get, they were all happy, as there was not other place they could sell. The next week we took a load of butter and eggs and chickens to Mr. Boley and bought some more groceries. He asked me if I could sell dishes and granite-ware. I told him I had no money to buy a stock of dishes. He said he had a large stock on hand, and if I wanted to, I could take them and pay when I had sold them. I thanked him and took a good supply. I soon sold them and made a good profit. Mr. Jackson had a shoe store and hearing of me from Mr. Boley, asked me to sell shoes for him.

In 1860 they were in Cocke County, TN. Where were they in 1870?

Re: Sarah Elizabeth SEXTON m John Henry BOLEYPAUGH of TN and AR, USA 19C

Ann Tabor — 2011-09-22 08:40:13Z

Listed as Bolepaugh in 1840, George was living in Civil District 7, Greene County, Tennessee (page 26). The family consisted of 1 male, 30-40; 1 female 20-30; 1 male 10-15; 1 male 5-10; 1 female 5-10; and 1 female under five.

In 1850, George and Candis - Bolepan? per index - were listed in Cocke County, Tennessee with 8 children (family 1201, page 853). The census is available online.

George, age 75, a widower, was living with his son, Mathew, in Newport, Cocke County, Tennessee in 1880. The family name was spelled Bolepaw on this census. Where were they in 1860?

I can't help you directly,but I have some Bolypaw info. In 1832 in Grayson Co VA a George Ballyhow sued for his share of the estate of Benjamin Sexton due as the husband of Candis. Checking further, I found Benjamin had 5 children; Isaac, Jane, Candis, Enoch and Benjamin. George Bolyhough was on the 1830 Buncombe Co NC Census and Beaulipaw was on the 1830 Greene Co TN census close to John Sexton's sons. Benjamine Bolyhow b.NC was on the 1860 Cocke Co TN census with Isaac Sexton brother of Candis. Benj Bolypaw was on the 1870 Cocke Co TN census also, but separate. I never found Georg or Candis after 1830 so don't know of other children. If you find out more, would like to know.

Does anyone have any information about Lafayette Boley, b. 1 Oct. 1803, or his wife, my ancestor, Susannah Pierce of Vermont, b. 16 Jan 1809. They were married 10 April 1830. Their children included: Horace Oscar, b. 8 Feb 1831, Orlando Manson, b. 21 Jan 1833, Victor Marion, b. 22 Feb 1835 & Albert Augustus, b. 10 Jun 1837.

Boleys from France

Allyn271 — 2010-06-01 01:36:50Z

I am looking for anyone with ties to Nicolas Boley and his wife Emilie, from Gemonval, Dept. of the Doubs, France. Family arrived at NY on 2 June 1848, destination Missouri, children Francois, Adele, Louise, Gustave. May have spent some time in Allen Co., Indiana. I suspect they are distant relatives of Michel Nageotte of Frenchtown, Crawford Co., PA (whose mother was Marie Josette Boley of Gemonval).

John Boley (s/o George & Catharine) b. 1822 PA d. 1904 KY

miabeth1 — 2010-01-26 19:04:04Z

John Boley was born in Lancaster County, PA in 1822, the son of George & Catharine (Mehring) Boley. He died 10 Dec 1904 in Campbell County, KY & is buried at Spring Grove Cem. His first wife was Hannah who died 18 July 1893. His second wife was Louise Hardisty, who married John A. Brakefield after John Boley died. Did John have any children? I cannot find any in census records. John had one brother, Henry (who lived near Beartown, Lancaster County, PA), and two sisters, Catharine (wife of Barton S. Weiler of White Horse, Lancaster County, PA) & Susanna (wife of John Siverd). I would like to correspond further with anyone working on this family.

Thirza Boley Hampton/Hampson Killin or maybe Dillon

pboesiger — 2009-12-15 02:54:00Z

I am looking for a marriage of Jane possibly Hampton/Hampson to Jacob Boley. Hampton/Hampson may not be her maiden name but the surname of her first husband. I am very interested in her first husband. I am looking for the parents of a daughter named Thersia/Thursy/Thirza born 1812 Ohio. She was possibly a school teacher in the area of Trumbull Co., Ohio. She may have married a Cyrus Dillon or Chas Killin. Any information about Thirza and her parentage would be appreciated. She moved west to Missouri by 1860.

Awesome, thanks! I do have a tree, and just attempted to send you an invite to it. I'm new at this so we'll see if that works.

I'd like to know everything. I have no info. on her at the moment. It may be that she is my 3G-grandmother via her son James Monroe Tubbs. I've been given some info. that lists James Monroe Tubbs as being born in Tenn, but I've not been able to confirm this. Any info. and/or pointers to records I should look at would be much appreciated.

Not sure the proper form around here yet, but you can email me if necessary at tony_t_tubbs AT yahoo DOT com

Re: Clifford & George W.Boley in Missouri/Iowa

sallyjboley — 2009-11-27 21:41:56Z

Hi Tony, nice to "meet" you.....What would you like to know about Mary? She is my Great grandmother via her son George Boley, and Tubbs was her first marriage ( we think ) and they had 3 children. Tubbs died and she and the childrn moved to Missouri where she married a widower ( who had 3 children ) and together they had 4 boys before he was killed by a falling tree. Mary subsequently married a Mr. Campbell.
She died in Texas while visiting her son, but I am still looking for her place of burial. I would be happy to exchange information. What is your linage to her?
Please contact me...Do you have a tree on Ancestry?

Re: Clifford & George W.Boley in Missouri/Iowa

MrTTubbs — 2009-11-27 16:35:32Z

I found a George Boley in 1880 census in Badger Township, Vernon, Missouri. He's listed as half-brother to Monroe Tubbs, my 3GG. I'm looking for information on Monroe Tubbs' (likely James Monroe Tubbs) parents, and was wondering what information you could share about Mary Tubbs mentioned in your post. Might be a clue to my history. (If this is a double post, my apologizes. I tried a post yesterday, but it hasn't shown up so I'm trying again)

Thank you,
