John, My Boggs also went back and forth from Wise Co,VA to Lawrence Co, KY. And I have always heard the Black Dutch lingo but no one knows what that meant. Cherokee seems to be the predominant story but that is NOT in my Boggs side.....don't know the answer here! My Boggs line is from Jimmy Lee Boggs>Oliver Carroll Boggs, Sr.>John L. Boggs>Jonathon Bishop Boggs>John M 'Fez" Boggs> Hugh Boggs, Sr> James L. Boggs > John Boggs Sr. from Scotland/Ireland. Is this familiar to you at all? Do our lines cross anywhere? I had never heard of Boggs as being a Melungeon name before. Let me know if there are common lines here. Thanks! ~Diana from Ohio
