Facts and Events
After living in the heart of the Cherokee Territory of Missouri for many years, the Riley Bogue's in 1843 formed a caravan to come to Indiana. As they entered the most dangerous part of the journey, they made a corral of their wagons, placing their houses inside the enclosure for the night. During the night Indians stealthily entered camp and stole their sleeping son Francis from his parents wagon. As the camp began to awake, Riley Bogue left instructions for the others to leave the camp at once and he set off to retrieve his kidnaped two year old son. he found the Indian camp and the Indians overcome by quantities of fire water. Riley recovered his son and returned with him to the wagon train. The rest of their journey through Missouri was made safely. "This story has a hugh question mark as to the truth because according to my records, Francis Marion Bogue was born in 1845 in Indiana, and not Missouri. In 1870 Francis Bogue received a land grant for farmland 3.5 miles west and 12 miles north of Windfall, and here he spent the remainder of his life.
