Anna Maria Boyle, Great Grandmother, born in America, 1747,error in 1748

To any genealogical researcher, it would be obvious that the name " Boyle " could not be hereditary of the German race of which Henry Green Boyle claims through his great grandfather William Beyl. The name Boyle is a Scotch-Irish name and could have been influenced by Henry Green Boyle's Grandmother Margaret McClanahan who was of scotch-Irish descent. The diary also states that part of the family were of Lutheran faith. This is true, since all of the family coming to Virgina had been Baptized and Confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church near Cooperburg, Penn.
