    A Deposition interview of James Boyle on behalf of his nephew, John Francis Boyle.    		A Deposition interview of James Boyle on behalf of his nephew, John Francis Boyle.
    On the 6th of April 1901, James Boyle gave a deposition in the case of his nephew's, John Francis Boyle, application for a pension for services rendered during the Spanish-American War. In this deposition, James explained the health and parentage of his nephew. He also provided the names of his parents, four brothers and how they all died as well as mentioning a sixth brother who James simply said, "died in the war." Presumbably that unnamed brother died in the Civil War.

  • Notes 
    • 1850 Census in Rhode Island the family is listed under the name of "Ball" and there is a 30 year old woman also listed in the home with the name Joanna Dernier. Could this Joanna be a sister of Rosanna?

      Census Research has revealed the following:
      1840 Census, 1st Ward, Providence County, RI, Page 375
      Hugh Boyle, Head of Household
      No Slaves
      Males between the ages of:
      Under 5 = 1
      5-9 = 1
      10-14 = 2
      15-19 = 1
      20-29 = 0
      30-39 = 0
      40-49 = 1 (Hugh Boyle)
      Females between the ages of:
      15-19 = 1
      40-49 = 1 (Possibly Rosanna)
      Total individuals in household = 8

      This is not at all confirmed to be the correct family but the evidence is good.

      Additional Information:

      2 persons were employed in manufacturing or trades.
      1 person over the age of 20 was not able to read and write.
