Bowles of Guysborough county

Robert Boles, son of John Boles and Grace Woods of Fethard, co. Tipperary, Ireland (see The Bowles of co. Tipperary) came to Canada in 1824 with his wife and 5 children and settled at Boylston, Guysborough co., Nova Scotia. One more child, Charles, was born in Canada in 1826. Their are no Boles descendants of this line in the area today as their sons either had no children (Robert) or moved on to Massachusetts (Charles).
