I'm wondering if some of us Boggs who can't seem to make a connection to James Boggs of Scotland/Ireland, might be a line from a brother or later immigrant Boggs. Does anyone seem to find this a possibility in their line? Also in the book "Surnames of Scotland" there was I believe a listing for Boggs in the 15 or 1600's in Scotland, I think it may have been Midlothian or dumfreeshire, anyway...One was a "janitor of the gate of the city...and there was anotherr reference to Boggs there. Some were spelled Bogs and another , Boggs. This would be before James Boggs listed in so many lists... the Livingstone Boggs. Has anyone else seen or familiar with the book about which I speak. I read in one e-mail somewhere that someone stated that this book was not reliable, does anyone else know of this? Much thanks, Edward Boggs
