Eva Lucinda Boyles

Not the same family as William Boles, of Neatman Creek

BOLES

William BOLES is the ancestor of the Boles and Bowles family concentrated in Stokes County, NC, and spreading out into several adjoining counties. The name has been variously spelled as Boles, Bools, Bouls, Boales, Bowls and other variant spellings. The name in Stokes County has often been confused with Boyles, but they are two separate families. William BOLES settled on Neatman Creek in Stokes and was dead by December 17, 1792 when his four sons (William Jr., James, John and Alexander Boles) sold his land. By contrast, William Boyles settled on the Little Yadkin River where he died in 1796 leaving three sons (William Jr., John and Hugh Boyles).

.....William Boles was probably born in the 1720’s, and the first records found for him are in Frederick County, Virginia. William “Bools” was in Frederick County, Virginia in 1756 when he entered a rental contract. He was there also in 1754 when William “Bowl” was a chain carrier for two surveys of land. He had moved to what is now Stokes County by 1766 when William “Bouls” was appointed a constable on Town Fork. This was 23 years before Stokes County was even formed, so it was part of Rowan County at that time.

.....In 1779 William Boles had a tract of land surveyed off for him, which consisted of 350 acres on Neatman Creek. This is the same tract of land that he owned which his four sons sold on December 17, 1792. The exact burial place of William Boles has not been determined, but it would have been on this property.

Private William, Sr., of Stokes County, Boles was born in 1720 in Frederick, Virginia. He had four sons with Sarah? Sally?. He died in 1792 in Stokes, North Carolina, at the age of 72, and was buried in Stokes, North Carolina.

Father of Alexander, James, John and William.
