I was wondering if his wife could be named Eleanor Watts. Samuel had a son named James (b March 07, 1788 in VA) who married Mary "Polly" Williams on September 27, 1831 in Gallia Co., OH . Do you think we are taking about the same family? Eleanor Watts was the d/o David Watts from Scotland. Thanks, Anne [email protected] --------------A1AE4693CA0BE937BDCBD1CA--

Just received in the mail today a kind donation for the Hugh and Hannah Blevins Boggs headstone fund from Charles and Johnda Slone of Martinez, Ga. in the amount of $25.00. Thanks to you both. If you haven't mailed your donation yet and plan to do so we would like to have this rapped up by June 1st. Cousin Dave Church Researching: Church/Boggs/Blevins/Kidd/Lovely Please consider a donation to the Hugh and Hannah Boggs Headstone fund. Thanks

Is the Boggs family from wheeling(Capt John) related to the Boggs family from Greenbrier co, VA/WV which descends from James Boggs who came from Ireland by Scotland and settled in New Castle Delaware and then moved to greenbrier Co? If so, does anyone know how? [email protected]

I don't know what line he is in either. I have 14 Williams in my Boggs line, including my father, but I don't have much information on the earlier Williams. I think I'm overloaded with information on my Boggses. I just need to find the time to put it all together.

Thanks Holly, :) Do either of you or Suzanne know what line he's in? Stephanie

Hi Suzanne, try this link http://metalab.unc.edu/docsouth/fpn/fpn.html and click on Collection of Electronic texts, then just scroll down to the B's. if that doesn't work try this one. http://metalab.unc.edu/docsouth/fpn/texts.html both of these will get you there. But I think the server is down. When I tried to click on the link for W. R.'s page it came up with an error. Stephanie

Hi Stephanie, I got to the URL with no problem. Suzanne maybe the web is busy, I would try again later.

Hello, I need some help. Can someone verify my line of Boggs? I thought I had it all straight and then I started running into some conflicting information. I know that up to William(1752) m. to Elizabeth Lawson is correct. Was William the son of Ezekiel and Jane Johnson Boggs? Ezekiel the son of Francis Sr. and Agnes? Francis the son of James, Sr? James,Sr the son of William (1625)? And William(1625) the son of James Boggs (1600)? Where is John Livingston that I have always heard about? My ggggrandfather was John (1806). My gggrandfather was Thomas Lawson Boggs(1842), his wife Mina Hannah McKee, and three sons left Ohio and came to Kansas in the late 1800's. I've really enjoyed reading about all the other Boggs' out there. What a bunch!!! Sure hope someone out there can help me get it all straight. Thanks so much. Mary Boggs Sullivan Clearwater, KS

>From the Net: "One son, William, was taken prisoner by the Indians." To Zeta, John A Boggs, and cousins, Here's some info, unproved, that complements, supplements, and sometimes contradicts (ain't genealogy maddening!) other info about William Boggs, son of Captain John Boggs: >From family document compiled August 1916: (a prisoner with the Indians for years) >From a letter by John McMecken Boggs to Lemuel, "he was with the Indians for 10 or 12 years on getting back home to Wheeling Virginia it was to [sic] tame for him so he went west and settled in what is now Shelby Co this state [Indiana] near Shelbyville. Raised a family there . . . the Rev. John M. may be one of his descendants." Another birth year listed on the net: 1765 On the net (from John A. Boggs, Apr. 20, 1999) William is described as having "...developed another part of Wheeling that is now referred to as the Boggs Hill Road section." Another version: "Lydia's brother William was captured by the Indians and another brother was killed. Major John, at that time, was six years old and the only boy in the cabin at the time of the Indian attack. The men were all away. William, who was captured, told the Indians that the cabin was full of men and the Indians were afraid to attack, and the women and children escaped to the Fort." R. Scott Perry

Hello everyone, Does anyone have a William Robertson BOGGS in their line, born March 29, 1829 in Augusta Va, Graduate of West Point? Son of Archibald BOGGS and Mary Ann ROBERTSON? Or could someone tell me what line of BOGGS he is in? I've found a book written by him online titled, "Military Reminiscences of Gen. Wm. R. Boggs, C.S.A." http://metalab.unc.edu/docsouth/boggs/boggs.html There is a picture of him there as well. Be warned the page loads SLOWLY..all scanned pages. Thanks for any help! Stephanie

BOGGS FAMILY of Wheeling. One of Wheeling's most active early citizens was Captain John Boggs (1738/9-1826). A French and Indian War veteran from Frederick County, John Boggs remained in the active Virginia Militia as a Captain, commanding several posts in frontier Virginia before he secured leave in 1 774 to claim riverfront land in Wheeling at Boggs Run. Soon afterward, however, he was called back to active service and was stationed at Catfish Camp (Washington, Pa.) when Indians attacked Fort Henry on September 1, 1777. Leading forty men from Catfish Camp, he rode to the assistance of his boyhood friend Colonel David Shepherd, who was then in command of Fort Henry, and arrived on September 2 in time to help bury the dead and prepare for further defense. He became commandant of Rice's @ Fort (Bethany, W.Va.) and in 1779 of Wolfe's Fort on Buffalo Creek. When repeated Indian attacks forced evacuation of Wolfe's Fort in 1781, Captain Boggs moved his family to Fort Henry in Wheeling where he became: Express Messenger. At the onset of the 1782 siege of Fort Henry, he went to Fort Pitt in an attempt to secure military aid. Soon after the Revolution Captain Boggs resettled Boggs Run, becoming Ohio County magistrate in 1785 and sheriff from 1790-1797. In 1798 lie sold his property to Moses Chapline and moved to Pickaway County, Ohio. All of his family accompanied him to Ohio with the exception of one son William (1765- ), who developed another part of Wheeling that is now referred to as the Boggs Hill Road section, and one daughter Lydia (1766-1867), who married (1) Colonel Moses Shepherd and (2) General Daniel Cruger and is famed for her role in the routing of the National Road to Wheeling.(for more see Wheeling Bicentennial Album p. 10). See sup. Vol. 3, p. 241 Reference The West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia, HCPD Library Volume 3, Ed. Pub. Jim Comstock, Richwood, WV 1976

Zeta: Do you know Marjorie Taylor in Lafayette, IN? She may have come into the family through the Boston Taylor line. The info in my notes is from family records, some of which is purported to be from hard sources, e.g., military records. But it all would have to be confirmed. I have eight children born to Capt. John and Jane: William (1763) James Mary (married a Johnson) Lydia (married Moses Shepard, then somebody Cruger--there are lots of stories about Lydia Martha (married Jacob Johnson) Jane (married John Barr or Barn) Nancy (married B. McMicken) John Boggs, known as the major, born 5/10/1775 in Wheeling, married Jane McMicken Taylor, later Sarah McMicken (known also as either Sally or Sallie) Capt. John . . . Served in the Revolutionary War. Settled in Virginia, where Boggs Run (a creek) still exists. Another family note says born in 1732 (document compiled in August 1916). The key is that both he and his son died at age 87; If born in 1732, then 1819 is a good date for death; but if born in 1740, then the date has to be 1827. And now a possibility of 1738, from the Boggs group on the Internet. "Capt. John Boggs was born in Western, PA in 1738." >From that same source, " John Boggs was in Ohio in 1789 and died in 1820." I wonder about this date. The source is quoted as Vol. 1, p. 23 of Genealogy, 1912. February 6, 1827 for a date of death, from a document headed "Births" In the War Department, Washington D.C., Adjutant General's Office, there is a record of Capt. John's service in the Revolutionary War as a captain in a Company designated Capt. John Boggs Co, 2nd Battalion, Delaware Militia, commanded by Col. Couch. See also Delaware Archives, Vol. 2, Military and Naval, p. 852, 859; Vol. 1, p. 13, French and Indian War Rolls 1754, 1763 "There is a sketch of Dr. William Ellison Boggs in American Biography of Prominent Men (Univ. of Virginia) which states that the Boggs family is of Scotch-Irish descent emigrating to America in 1704. They settled in Maryland and scattered to Virginia and the colonies." >From Histories of the Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, Kingston, Ohio: "The old meeting house was never intirely (sic) finished, and soon became uncomfortable. In a few years a school house was erected near it, in which preaching and prayer meetings were often held. Meetings were often in a grove near this house, and in families. On the Plains those meetings were usually held at the house of John Ball or John Boggs, and when near the old church, in William McCoy's house or barn. [The dates of this period are in the 1802-1806 range, so it could be "the Captain," or it could be "the Major."] R. Scott Perry
