"Boyle Genealogy. John Boyle of Virginia and Kentucky", by John Boyle, Perrin & Smith Printing Co., St. Louis, MO, 1909, pp. 63-64 (obtained from http://www.archive.org/details/boylegenealogyjo00boyl):
James Madison Boyle, the oldest son to reach maturity of Chief Justice Boyle, was born during a visit of his mother to her parents, in Mercer county. He attended Centre College, and St. Joseph College, at Bardstown ; at Transylvania he studied medicine, practiced for a short while in Kentucky, removed to Crawford county, Illinois, thence in 1848, to Edgar county, living on a farm until 1873, and thereafter with his son, at Paris in that county, and in the city of St. Louis. He practiced his profession successfully. From early youth, he possessed strong religious convictions, and was a consistent church member. Later, after much reading and reflection, and from a confident persuasion of duty, he was immersed in Elkhorn creek, by Dr. Fishback of Lexington, and thereafter continued in the fellowship of the Christian church. He was married at her mother's home, January 11, 1837, to Sarah Ann Decker (page 151), who was born November 1, 1819, and died in St. Louis, February 16, 1899.
