Notes:
?i?from Family Search: Mungo Boyle (LH26-FXG)
?/i?Mungo Alexander Boyle was remembered in an article published in a local Australian newspaper in 1931 as having an injured foot 'through having chopped it while falling scrub in Canada'. (actually in Queensland)
The father died at Ipswich. He came from Canada with his brothers James, Robert, John and Munga. The latter had an injured foot. The other brothers were pioneers of Harrisville district and lived long and useful lives. He was a great friend of John Hooper, father of Mrs. E. McLean of Boonah and May who married John Vardon, a selector of Milora.
?i?From a Harrisville Local History
?/i?Their youngest son, Mungo and his wife Sarah Watson, an Irish lass, continued to farm at Kelvin Grove and reared eleven children there. Their children married members of other pioneering families and have been a part of the history of Harrisville. Ernest, Harriet and Olive remained single and llived at Kelvin Grove till their deaths. They were involved in the local church, School of Arts and other organizations.
Mary, Mungo and John Mason Miller are the only family members mentioned in John's letters in 1870 to his twin brother Andrew Burns Miller.
(Medical):My grandfather Boyle had a severe accident. He was using an adze to trim a log and a chip of wood stuck to the corner of the adze and caused it to glance off and nearly severed his foot across the instep. Remarkably, I think there was an old army doctor in Ipswich and he came out and did what he could but grandfather always had a lame foot, his foot wouldn't go flat on the ground, so he always was handicapped by his damaged foot.
Birth:
Birth date also recorded as c 1842 @ Lanark
His marriage certificate Australia, 18 Nov 1869, specifically gives his birthplace as Lanark, Lanark Cty, Canada West.

The late Mr. Boyle was born in Lanack, Canada, in the year 1841, and his early manhood was spent among the Canadian hills. For many years he was engaged in felling timber and rafting it down the rivers to the sawmilling settlements. At the age of 24 he came to Australia, landing in Brisbane in February, 1866. Almost immediately he came to Harrisville, where an elder brother had already selected the piece of land which has since remained the home of the Boyle family. In 1871 he married Miss Sarah Watson, who died 12 years ago. The late Mr. Boyle leaves five sons and five daughters, 19 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Of a happy, genial, disposition, the late Mr. Boyle was a friend to all, and in return was beloved by all. He passed peacefully away in his own home, nursed by loving daughters. His remains were in-terred in the Harrisville Cemetery, on Sunday afternoon, July 27, in the presence of a large crowd of mourners.
