James Coyle was born in 1796 in Virginia to Patrick and Lucretia Coyle. James's father, Patrick, was a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in the state of Virginia until 1803 when he moved his family to Smith County, Tennessee. In 1806 the family once again moved, this time settling in Wayne County, Kentucky.

On January 9, 1819 James married Rachel Craig, daughter of John Craig and Jane Brown Craig, in Wayne County, Kentucky. James and Rachel Craig Coyle were the parents of Martin and James Patrick Coyle.

James and Rachel Craig Coyle lived their entire married life in Wayne County and are buried next to each other at Gap Creek Cemetery.

Various records spell their last name Coil or Coyle, but descendents of James and Rachel used the Coyle spelling. Their headstones spell the last name as Coil.
