Hello: I am looking for information about my my second great grandmother, Sallie Day Boggs Winn is 1831-1889 b Portland, Callaway County, Missouri; died Audrain County, Missouri. She married John R. Winn, her father may have been Lawrence Boggs. I note with interest in an old e-mail that there was a Sallie McMichen in the line mentioned below. Does anyone have any information connecting these two Sallies? Does anyone have any information on Sallie Day Boggs Winn or her ancestors (and siblings?)

I'll give you a taste, realize, though, that the primary source of this stuff is family records, not hard data. What I hope is, presuming you're interested, is that it will suggest directions for you real researchers out there. If you want more info about the Logan Elm (there's a moving speech by a native American connected to it), I'll be happy to supply it. R. Scott Perry This is quoted from a typed document, part of which was later reproduced as a newspaper story in an Ohio paper--don't know which one because all that was saved is the clipping. "The first John Boggs was born in England. He emigrated to America in the 1700's and settled in Pennsylvania. His son, the second John Boggs, known as the Captain, settled in Virginia. The 3rd John Boggs was known as the Major. His son, John Boggs, emigrated to Pickaway County, Ohio, and was the uncle of John M. Boggs and Lemuel Boggs. John M. Boggs settled in Tippacanoe County, Indiana, while Lemuel stayed in Ohio. One of John M. Boggs sons, Lemuel, has a son named John M. Boggs, who was the 7th John Boggs. Lemuel Boggs of Ohio also had a son named John G. Boggs, who was the sixth John Boggs. He now has a son who was the 8th John Boggs (1927). "Lydia Boggs, who was a great friend of Betty Lane, was the daughter of our great great grandfather. She married Moses Shepard soon after the time of this story "Betty Lane." Later after the death of Shepard she married Daniel Cruger. Lydia lived to be 110 years old. She never had any children, and was the eldest sister of our great grandfather, Major John Boggs, who settled at Logan Elm, Ohio, in 1778. "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. "Lydia escaped from the Indians at one time by swimming her horses across the Ohio River. She lived and died in Wheeling, VA near Boggs Run. "Captain John Boggs and his son, Major John, came through the wilds of Ohio; the Captain settling on Scrip Creek, and the Major pre-empting land on the Congo, and building a cabin under the Logan Elm. He then returned to Wheeling, VA and married Sallie McMichen, our great grandmother (John M. Boggs's grandmother). She came to Ohio at the age of 19. She raised nine children. Our grandfather, Moses Boggs, was the last one born in the cabin under the Logan Elm. Two others, James and Sidney, were born in the brick house nearby, which house was still standing in 1923." ==== BOGGS Mailing List ==== ______________________________ ------------------------------
