Isabella Boyle was the daughter of William Cross Boyle and his second wife, Jane Elizabeth Taylor. Jane Boyle died in 1866 and it appears that Isabella and her brother were either placed with family or put up for adoption. No record was found of her in an 1870 census but in 1880, she lived with Rev. Allen McFarland and his family, residing in Flora, Illinois. The 1880 census lists her as the adopted daughter of Allen and Jennie McFarland.
