John Boyle

BOYLE, John, jurist, born in Botetourt County, Virginia, 28 October, 1774; died in Kentucky, 28 January, 1834. His parents removed to Kentucky when he was five years old. He received a good education, studied law, and began to practice his profession in Lancaster in 1797. Elected to congress in 1803, he served three successive terms until 3 March, 1809. He was appointed governor of Illinois, then a territory, after leaving congress, but declined to serve, preferring the bench of the court of appeals of Kentucky. Of this court he became chief justice in April, 1810, and retained the place until 8 November, 1826, when he was appointed United States district judge for Kentucky, an office that he held during the remainder of his life.
