General Notes: Husband - Capt. David Boal


On Nov. 5, 1795, Nathaniel Dickey conveyed a tract of 239 acres in Fayette Township, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, to "David Bole of Pfoutz Valley (now Perry County) ; Thomas Bole, son of David settled upon the place and upon the death of his father in 1824 he inherited it and in 1840 sold it to William McMeen." This tract was near the site of McAlisterville. In 1797 "Major Hugh McAlister and David Boles each donated a plot of ground on their farms adjoining" for the Lost Creek Presbyterian Church.
He was appointed one of the trustees to organize Mifflin County in 1789, but he declined to serve because he resided below the Narrows in Greenwood Township, then Cumberland, now Perry County, and hence did "not reside within the limits of the said Mifflin."

Pfoutz Valley, his home, was in Greenwood Township, which is now partly in Perry and partly in Juniata County, Pennsylvania.

David Boal served in the Revolutionary War under Colonel Purdy of Cumberland County, as a private in 1776 and as a captain in 1780. His company of Cumberland County Militia was reported in service with him as captain from June 22 to Aug. 22, 1782.
