Guess its time for me to dust off my genealogy notes and post my info again. Yes this is the same Lilburn W Boggs that became Governor etc. I have always been told we are related but have never been able to tie my info in. My Great Grandmother was Anna Irena Boggs daughter of Wilbur or (Wilburn) Boggs and Elizabeth Pollard of Kingston, Caldwell, Missouri. She was born on January 18th 1864, Married George Edward Smith on January 29th 1889 in Ray, Richmond, Missouri. She died on March 27th 1948 in Pittsburgh, Alleghany Co.,PA. I have never been able to tie the Boggs line in any further. If any one knows about my Anna Irena please let me know. Some of you have helped a lot & I guess its time to try again. I spent all of 1999 on Chemo therapy & am doing much better. Thanks for all past help.
