Marriage Notes for Hugh Boggs and Hannah Blevins: The following information was provided by Karl Dagg ([email protected]) and Ken Yarberry ([email protected]) who are part of the on-line Gambill research group. 1997:

Dr. Curtis Williams of Appalachian State University states: "So many Boggs named their sons John, James, William, etc. that it became necessary to assign them distinguishing nick names. James Boggs, son of Hugh and Hannah Boggs, was called "Jim Going" because he preferred to "traipse up and down the creek" when there was work to be done as a child. He was on the go all the time. As an adult, if you wanted to talk to him, you had to follow him. His brother John, who married Mahala Griffith (pronounced Griffin on Craines Creek), was called "John Puny" because he was always complaining about his health "puning around" his neighbors said.

"In my generation it was customary to distinguish persons of the same name by referring to the father of each; "Clem's Jim", "Jim Ran" (son of Randolf) or by identifying them by where they lived. "Ed Kirby" (pronounced locally "Kyarby"); or by including a reference to a distinguishing feature: Big Nelson, Little Hen, Thin Jim or Phe-he Jim (stuttering Jim). Women with identical names were identified by their husband's names. "Hannah Jim", "Marry Jarret", etc. John "Pune" Jim and Nelson were Union soldiers in the Civil War. Sgt. Nelson was killed in Battle at Middle Creek in Floyd County, buried in Louisa, Kentucky.

This biographical description of these ancestors was originally written in poem form.

Deep in the hills 'Neath an azure sky There's a place so remote The world passed it by For thousand of years No Mortal had trod The green dewy valley's It's rich fertile sod Till one day long ago Twas just break of dawn The curtain of night had parted and gone To make room for the sun coming over the hill When life began stirring and song birds to trill

High on the hill top There stood a young man His blue eyes were narrowed The landscape to scan, It was hard to believe "This" was not paradise Or a dream, surely soon He would open his eyes And be back in Virginia From whence he had come His thoughts were conflicting his body felt numb

He had come a long way this young man of sod not seeking vast fortunes Just a homestead and God He felt a soft breeze Touch his tired brow and cheek As he drank in the beauty Of Old Caines Creek In his heart sprang new hope In his eyes a fire lit As he whispered so softly "Sacred Wind" this is it

His glance wandered back To the newly made road And the old covered wagon With it's oversized load Of worldly possessions His kindred and wife All the blessings it takes to complete a Man's Life. With a lump in his throat And a prayer-full sigh He lifted his eyes towards the blue cloudless sky. 'Neath this heavenly dome He would cast his "lot" And make this his home.

Bright eyes were now peering From out of the side Of the old covered wagon from whose long weary ride Had kept vigil so faithfully Though the long nights Were now anxiously waiting To explore new delights For they knew by the smile On the young man's face Their searching had ended This was the "PLACE" He smiled as he nodded them All to alight And the picture they made Was a heart warming sight, As they hustled and bustled And flitted about His bosom swelled proudly, He felt he could shout There was Cessie and Azzel John Henry and Jim Emily, Hanna, Hugh Jason, and Tim Sarah, Ellen, Matilda Clem , Orkie and Bud. And the cow they brought with them Still chewing her cud There was Pa who had courage Faith, muscle and brawn And Ma who was shy as a newly born fawn But her Irish eyes twinkled And sparked with fire As she glanced at her "brood" And their tall handsome "sire" All these and still more Of his beloved kin Took part in the new life About to begin. There was hard work ahead Hungry children to feed There were blankets and quilts And plenty of seed, Sharp axes and hoes and mallets galore; Kind hearts and strong hand Could a man ask for more?

Everyone was astir And busy as bees, Clearing land, burning brush, And chopping down trees That were hewn, niched then rolled And set up in place, Soon this spot in the wildwood Took on a new face That was pleasing to God Who smiled a well done As they played, sang and danced And relaxed in their fun. Now the hillsides were covered With sweet golden corn Where wild honey-suckle Sends it's fragrance each morn From it's lofty abode In it's dewy recluse, Where mocking birds sing And morning dove coos, There! The clear crystal dew Trickles over the rocks , That jut from the hills Where sheep graze in flocks, And winds it's way down/to the creek far below where the Bob-o-Links nest and wild flowers grow. No paintings that hung In the great halls of fame Could match this wild beauty Or portray the same Ethereal colors that flame in the sky As dawn is approaching And night passes by My thoughts travel back To the sweet yester-year When folks were good neighbors And kin-folks were dear To the children who sat By the bright fire-logs And listened to tales Of their grand-sire "Boggs".

Nelson was found dead on the battlefield from rifle fire and the only union casualty of the skirmish. According to Mr. James R. Boggs of Hazard Kentucky, whose father was a first cousin to Nelson, his comrades placed the body in the limbs of a tree to keep it from being trampled and when the rout was over it was included for burial with the confederate dead when Nelson's brother, James H. "Jim Goings" Boggs objected. The body was then taken to Prestonsburg and sent north to Lawrence Co.

Wil"Coming to Kentucky" written by Hugh Boggs about his family's arrival at Caines Creek, Kentucky.Deep in the hills, 'neath an azure sky,There's a place so remote, the world passed it by. For thousands of years, no mortal had trod, the green dewy valley's rich, fertile sod. Till one day long ago, twas just break of dawn,The curtain of night had parted and gone, to make room for the sun, coming over the hill, when life began stirring, and song birds to trill.High on the hill top, there stood a young man, his blue eyes were narrowed, the landscape to scan. It was hard to believe, "this" was not paradise, or a dream, surely soon, he would open his eyes.Could he be back in Virginia, from whence he had come, his thoughts were conflicting, his body felt numb.He had come a long way, this young man of sod, not seeking vast fortunes, just a homestead and God. He felt a soft breeze touch his tired brow and cheek, as he drank in the beauty, of Old Caines Creek. In his heart sprang new hope, in his eyes a fire lit, as he whispered so softly, "Sacred Wind", this is it! His glance wandered back, to the newly made road, and the old covered wagon, with it's oversized load. Of worldly possessions, his kindred and wife, all the blessings it takes, to complete a man's life.With a lump in his throat, and a prayer-full sigh, he lifted his eyes, towards the blue, cloudless sky. He would cast his lot, 'neath this heavenly dome', and make this new valley, his much beloved home.Bright eyes were now peering, from out of the side, of the old covered wagon, from whose long weary ride, had kept vigil so faithfully, through the long sleepless nights, were now anxiously waiting, to explore new delights. For they knew by the smile on the young man's face, their searching had ended, this was the "PLACE"!

He smiled as he nodded them, all to alight, and the picture they made was a heart warming sight. As they hustled and bustled, and flitted about, his bosom swelled proudly, he felt he could shout. There was Cessie and Azzel, John, Henry and Jim, Emily, Hannah, Hugh, Jason and Tim. Sarah, Ellen, Matilda, Clem, Orkie and Bud, and the cow they brought with them, still chewing her cud. There was Pa who had courage, faith, muscle and brawn, and Ma who was shy, as a newly born fawn. But her Irish eyes twinkled and sparked with such fire, as she glanced at her 'brood',and her tall, handsome 'sire'. All these and still more, of his beloved kin, took part in the new life, about to begin. There was hard work ahead, hungry children to feed. There were blankets and quilts, and plenty of seed. Sharp axes and hoes, and mallets galore, Kind hearts and strong hands, could a man ask for more?Everyone was astir, busy as bees; clearing land, burning brush, and chopping down trees, that were hewn, niched then rolled, and set up in place, soon this spot in the wildwood, took on a new face, that was pleasing to God, who smiled a "well done", as they played, sang and danced, and relaxed in their fun.Now the hillsides were covered, with sweet golden corn, where wild honey-suckle sends it's fragrance each morn. From it's lofty abode, in it's dewy recluse, where mocking birds sing, and morning doves coo; there! the clear crystal dew, trickles over the rocks, that jut from the hills, where sheep graze in flocks. And winds it's way down, to the creek far below, where the bob-o-links nest, and the wild flowers grow. Where paintings that hung, in the great halls of fame, could match this wild beauty, or portray the same, etheral colors that flame in the sky.As dawn is approaching, and night passes by, my thoughts travel back to the sweet yesteryear, when folks were good neighbors, and kin-folks were dear. To the children who sat, by the bright fire-logs, and listed to tales, of their grand-sire "Boggs".
