    1. [BOGGS-L] HENDERSON BOGGS 1862 - 1907

    3. This is a fresh query on an old theme. I am looking for any information on my gg-grandfather Henderson Boggs, born 1861-62 to James Henry Boggs and Matilda Lyon in Caines Creek, Lawrence County Kentucky. About 1882 he married Sarah Elizabeth Boggs, whose birth record named her Sarah E. Barker, dau. of Harden and Fanny Barker. Her biological father was William R. Blevins, brother to Fanny Barker, and ? Barker, sister of Harden Barker. Sarah apparently took the Blevins name. Henderson is found on the 1900 census for Lawrence County Ky. along with Sarah and their 7 children. Sarah is next found on the 1910 Lawrence County OHIO census (Ironton), listed as Sarah Boggs, widow, with 2 of her children still living with her. Family story has Henderson with the nickname of "Colonel", who dies around 1907. I do not know exactly when he died, cause of death, nor do I know where he is buried. Sarah died in 1928 and is buried in the Woodlawn cemetery in Ironton, but Henderson is not next to her. There were several Henderson Boggs living at the same time from Lawrence Ky. If anyone has any information on this Henderson Boggs, I would appreciate you contacting me. Thanks. Bob Gardner Goldsboro, NC
