Good Afternoon, I am not a Boles family member so I may be out in the cold on this one. But I thought I'd pass my notes on. 

I have that Sampson Boles was born about 1822 and died 1865 at Schell's Mills, McDonald Co., MO, and that his wife was named Susan Dodson, born 1822 in Grainger Co., TN, and I have that she died in 1900 in Lincoln Co., MO.

I would suppose that a Boles descendant passed that on to me since I have not researched the Boles family. 

For Thomas Anthony Boles - I have these notes -
