Hello, I would like any information on a Boggs reunion in North Carolina. Do you have e-mail contacts? I came across this info about two Boggs brothers... This is from THE REGISTER of the Kentucky Historical Society ...Volume 76, 1978...page 276. Two members of the cast of Revenge (?1810) Liburn W.Boggs played the part of Zanga's mistress. His younger brother Joseph Oliver Boggs (called master Boggs because of his youth) played a minor female part in the farce. John M. Boggs was a tailor with a shop on Main Street in Lexington. His wife was the former Martha Oliver. Their two sons attended Transylvania Seminary. Lilburn was 17 years old at the time of the performance. Lilburn was a corporal in Captain David Todd's company during the victorious Thames expedition in 1813. In 1816 he settled in Missouri and entered the fur trade. The rest of the story ...you all know. Interesting note about the early amateur actors of Kentucky. Many of the amateurs appear on the rosters of military units from 1812-115. I don't think I am related to the Lilburn Boggs line. I will ask my question again....Do we know the connection if any...to this Boggs family, to the NC Boggs families? I live about an hour from Napa California...where Lilburn is buried. He died on his farm in 1860. I hear much about him ....but what about his ancestors? Thanks....Anne
