 *Per Jim Voltz: Expect Francis Boyle's  mother was Charity Armstrong. The Cherry Valley connection described in the M'Cune Genealogical Record (Source #A3) is strong evidence but not absolute proof.
 * Myrtie C. Magrath (Source # A3, The Tracy M'Cune Genealogical Record) is uncertain about the death location of Charity Armstrong Boyles, knowing only "Cherry Valley".   Per Jim Voltz,  the location of the Francis Boyle homestead in Middlesex Twp., Butler Co., is still called Cherry Valley. Jim's school district included Cherry Valley, and Cherry Valley Road. Ms. Magrath speculates that Cherry Valley might be in Bedford County, as that is the residence of some of the Boyles before going westward. Ms. Magrath mentions a Cherry Valley Massacre, an event that happened in  Bedford/Blair County.  From census data, the Boyles were actually in Frankstown, now in Blair County near Altoona. There is no Cherry Valley in that area. (There are at least four Cherry Valley locations in PA.) <br>When the family moved west, Charity had to stay behind in PA with someone.  The Cherry Valley location of Francis Boyle is well documented, as is  the fact that Alexander Boyle was Francis's father.  Jim Voltz' aunt who compiled the original family history, was adamant that Charity Boyles was the wife of Alexander, Sr. Admittedly, a relative that lives to be 102 will stick in family history. There is an older woman living with Alexander Jr., recorded in the 1820  census; this may be Charity.
 * Ms. Magrath says Charity Armstrong Boyles came from Germany. Per Jim Voltz, Charity was from Ireland, but often went on religious pilgrimages to mainland Europe. Some of her children were born in Germany.
-* Ms. Magrath names the children of Charity Armstrong Boyles to be Jacob, Peter, David & Betsey.  Per Jim Voltz, there is a possible brother of her husband, Simon Henry Boyle, who surprisingly had similar children names that were born in the same years.
+* Ms. Magrath names the children of Charity Armstrong Boyles to be Jacob (born in Germany), Peter, David & Betsey.  Per Jim Voltz, there is a possible brother of her husband, Simon Henry Boyle, who surprisingly had similar children names that were born in the same years.  That Magrath is confused about the Cherry Valley issue suggests that her focus is primarily on the McCune family.  She has primarily documented the Boyles only as they intermarried with McCunes.  It is possible that the names she ascribes to children of Charity Armstrong Boyles are actually nephews, etc.  Two of the names she lists (David, Betsey) correspond with David & Elizabeth cited in other sources.  Source Jordan says Alexander had 7 children but only 5 are named by him; perhaps Jacob and Peter are the other two.
 * The fact that Ms. Magrath didn't know much about where Charity died, or with whom, suggests that her information did not extend much beyond the relatives who moved west. Some of those who went west where possibly cousins, not siblings as Ms Magrath states.   The Boyle descendants who went west are quite famous in Ohio, being some of the first to settle near Athens, and are listed on the Athens website as such.  Names of the children of Charity Armstrong Boyles needs research/documentation to distinguish children from nephews, etc.
