Re:Isaac Boley 1780 PA-VA / 1860 HARRCO, IN

In examining data from the 1880 census, I have found that many people would frequently confuse their father's place of birth with their grandfather's. I would assume that the various county vanity histories of the 1880s interviewed many of the same people, who got it wrong both times.
