Notes for AUSTIN O'BOYLE:

      Austin O'Boyle emigrated from a location between Westport and Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland with his eldest son, Owen, in the spring of 1851. Austin's wife, Catherine Fitzpatrick was to join her husband in Canada in approximately one year. Austin first stayed in Lindsay, Ontario then travelled to Cleveland, Ohio where he had relatives. He returned to Lindsay in the autumn of 1851. He worked there prior to Catherine's arrival. Anticipating the arrival in Toronto of Catherine and the younger children, Austin left from Lindsay to meet them. He never arrived. He was last seen by his friends the O'Donnells in Pickering, Ontario where he had stayed overnight. Austin was thought to be unarmed and carrying a roll of money he had saved. Highwaymen frequented the roads at that time and evidently took his life and his money.
      Despite her tragic loss, Catherine made her way to Austin's home and managed to care for her family very well. Her sons, Owen, Walter and Austin eventually purchased several properties along Concession #6, Mara Township, in the 1870's and 1880's and became very prosperous and successful members of their communities. She eventually settled in Brechin, Ontario where she remained until her death at 82 years of age on January 05, 1891.
