BOYLE, originally BOYVIL, a surname belonging to a family settled at an early period in Ayrshire. Among the barons of that county who swore fealty to Edward I. in 1296, were Robert de Boyvil and Richard de Boyvil. The latter, proprietor of the lands of Raysholm, in Dalry, is thought to be the ancestor of the Boyles both of Raysholm and Wamphray in Annandale. The heiress of Wamphray, in the reign of King James IV., married a brother of the house of Johnstone. that the Boyles of Kelburn, which is in the district of Cummingham, are of great antiquity, appears from a charter in Anderson’s Diplomata Scotiae. In 1699, David Boyle of Kelburn was created Lord Boyle, and in 1703 earl of Glasgow. See GLASGOW, earl of.. From the Boyles of Kelburn, the great English Boyles, who became earls of Cork and Ossory in Ireland, are said to derive their origin. |
