Anthony Boley immigrated March 10, 1764 with his brother, Johan Carl Boley, to America to Pennsylvania from Rotterdam, Germany aboard the ship "Boston" by way of Coves, England.

Anthony (Booby) Boley was listed as a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition along with John Boley. It is believed that Anthony was a member of the Sandusky Expedition of 1782 (May 25, 1782 - June 12, 1782), but on printed list as Anthony Booby, next to John Boleye. The Sandusky Expedition was an expedition to eliminate hostile Indian Villages along the Sandusky River in Ohio. This John Boleye is believed to be the Johan Carl Boley who accompanied Anthony on his voyage to America in 1754 on the ship "Boston". He was listed in the Militia in 1786, and he and John Boley, were in the Revolutionary war as well as being on the Lewis and Clark Expedition as a part of the Militia "Corps of Discovery" attached to the expedition. The Expedition departed May 14, 1804 from Camp Dubois. On July 4th they celebrated the first Fourth of July West of the Mississippi. Anthony and John Boley would have been on hand for the council with the Oto and Missouri Indians. August 30, 1804, the Corps holds a council with the Yankton Sioux at present-day Yankton, South Dakota. When the Corps entered the Great Plains they saw animals unknown in the eastern United States. They had a tense encounter with the Teton Sioux near today's Pierre, South Dakota; one of the Sioux chiefs waves his men off and conflict is averted. In Oct 1804, near today's Bismarck, North Dakota, the Corps arrived at the villages of the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians, buffalo-hunting tribes that lived along the Missouri River. November 4, 1804 Lewis and Clark hired French-Canadian fur-trader Toussaint Charbonneau and his Shoshone wife, Sacagawea, to act as interpreters on the journey ahead. December 24, 1804 the men finished building Fort Mandan, which would be their winter quarters, in present-day North Dakota. Anthony and John Boley would have been on hand for the birth, Feb 11, 1805 of Sacagawea's child Jean Baptiste.

They did not go on to the ocean, but departed April 7, 1805, with the information that had been gathered for the President, some 178 plants and 122 animals which were unknown until this time. That same day, Lewis and Clark headed west.

Anthony warranted "Curious Bend", Peter's Township, Washington County, Pa. 400 acres on Chartier's Creek April 20, 1790, located near acreage owned by John Boley, thought to be Johan Carl Boley with whom he traveled to America. Anthony first built a cabin below the spring-house, and the put a better one where the residence stood. He sold the property to Robert Bell in 1795.
