To Edwin Boggs, In all likelihood, your Levi Boggs was actually born in Wise County. Until the late 1800's, Lee County incorporated all the area which is now Wise County. A group of citizens, some of whom were Boggges, petitioned the General Assembly for separation into their own county with the county seat to be in Wise because of the distance from where they lived near the Virginia-Kentucky border many miles north of Jonesville which was the county seat of Lee County. You should look up The History of Wise County by L. F. Addington. It can give you more about the establishment of Wise County.
