My father came from HARLAN COUNTY, KY. His birth name was Pearl Edward BOGGS. My grandfather came from WISE COUNTY VA. His name was JUDGE FINLAY BOGGS. He was not a judge, that was his name. His wife's name was LUELLA BOGGS. Her maiden name was WITT. My g-grandfather's name was Levi. His wife's name was laura PARSONS. There seem to be a number of Levi BOGGS documented, My Levi died in the 1950's. We have the stories handed down about being CHEROKEE and BLACK DUTCH. I am not certain if we are descended from James BOGGS of Ireland/Scotland which seems to be a prevelent belief of Many BOGGS of these areas. There are also documented cherokee name BOGGS documented in sources such as CHEROKEE BLOOD... etc. There is also a documented story of a John BOGGS with a native name given of TAUCHULUNA. If anyone can be of help it would be gratly appreciated, as this all seems to get confusing at times, which I believe we can all relate to.. relate to...that wasn't meant to be a pun. thanks. Ineffably, EDWARD BOGGS
