This info may be of interest to some. From the Book "INDIAN BLOOD II" subtitled : further adventures in finding your native American ancestors. Author is Richard Pangburn, Published by Butler Books, Louisville Ky. 1996 BOGGS, BOGS, BAUGS, BOGGAS ect. A Cherokee name. John Boggs was a trader among the cherokees and he served as an emissary during border conflicts. Boggs informed Gov. William Blunt in 1792 of the impending attack of the Creeks (with John Watts and a war party of Cherokees) against the encroaching white settlement. "Bogs (sic) is a half breed, well- known to many white people, and by all parties viewed as a man of veracity." See COVSP, vol. 6 pps. 115, 116 In 1793 John Boggs ran the ferry for the prominent cherokee, Turtle-at-home, villiage chief at the Running Water Town. Boggs fell in love with his daughter, Tsi-Yah-Ney-Nah. Perhaps due to them, the Boggs surname is now common in mainstream Americans who have the Cherokee princess tradition. See Holmes, pp. 62-63 Listed on the 1835 Cherokee Census was the household of Robert Boggs, living in Creek Path, Alabama, and consisting of one half-breed and eight mixed Catawbas. The Boggas household of six Cherokees living on Lookout Creek in Georgia included one quarterblood. Listed on the 1835 Cherokee Census of Tennessee was the large family of John Boggs consisting of fourteen Cherokees. Their farm was on Candy's Creek in McMinn County. See Tyner, pp. 6, 100, 171. Lucinda Boggs who married Azzel Blevins from Carter county, Ky. was traditionally a Cherokee, as was her husband. I recommend this as a good source of info to anyone who is interested in Indian ancestry. Both volumes hold a lot of valuable information, and may be able to help in genealogy research. a lot of good history as well as dates and places are in this two volume set. ( A lot of surnames ) Ineffably, Edward G. Boggs
