James Doyle came to the port of Philadelphia on the ship
"Saranak" on
30 May, 1849. He may have come, possibly, from Limerick Co.,
Ireland
with a possible brother or cousin Martin Doyle also on the same
boat.

James Doyle is said to have worked on the construction of a railroad from Norfork,Virginia to Bristol, Tennessee shortly after his arrival. Since the railroad ended in Bristol this is where they made their home. [interview with who knew the family, 1996]
He is found working as a gardner for a wealthy family estate in Tennessee. On this same estate working as a carpenter is William Nicols Grubb.
