People named Nancy Boggs

Nancy Alice Boggs of Gordonville, Grayson County, Texas was born on June 8, 1916, and died at age 91 years old on September 23, 2007.

Nancy Marguerite Boggs was born July 11, 1874 to James Henry 'Goins' Boggs and Matilda Lyons. Nancy was the second youngest child of 13 children born to James and Matilda. Nancy's grandfather Hugh Boggs arrived to this part of Kentucky from Virginia in the early 1800's. They settled along Cains Creek, Lawrence County, where many of the Boggs descendants still reside today. Nancy's grandfather, Hugh, was highly regarded and the following was written about him: The Big Sandy Valley; History of the People and country, From the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, by William Ely....Published 1887 Page 446, 447: "HUGH BOGGS OF BLAINE: The nestor of the Boggses on Caines Creek, a branch of the Blaine, has been a man of remarkable energy. Hugh Boggs opened a large farm on his creek, and, by chopping wood and bossing other wood-choppers at the old-time furnaces, made money enough to build a steam saw and grain mill and a carding machine at quite an early day. Had Hugh Boggs lived at a place more get-at-able, he would have been to Caines Creek what Judge Borders was to his section, and what William Adams was to Licking Station. The country around Mr. Boggs was too sparsely settled to expand his business, yet nevertheless he was always a good liver. Caines Creek, in Lawrence County, is a stream of wide and rich bottom land, almost all of which is owned by the Boggses, descendants of either Hugh Boggs or his kinsmen. He nears the end of his earthly race, being quite feeble in body but smart in mind. He has been a benefactor, an educator, and a philanthropist, although in his unselfishness he might himself never have suspected it." Nancy Boggs was considered the "prettiest gal in the holler" and it was at at picnic that she met her future husband, George Washington Ferguson. The couple married March 17, 1894, and were given land in Sacred Wind as a gift from her father. The couple settled on this land (near the Sacred Wind Post Office) and built a cabin. Their first son, Luther, was born August 9, 1895. Luther was followed by James on May 28, 1896, and Ivy Myrtle May on July 23, 1899. Sadly, their son Luther died in 1898. Another son, Earl, was born June 3, 1902. As the lumber industry in Lawrence County became depressed, the couple decided to sell their land and move to Whatcom County, Washington. George had a distant cousin who at the time was running a lumber mill in Bellingham, and this cousin wrote and asked that his cousins and friends come out west and work for him. So, Nancy and George sold their land, packed up and landed in Washington in 1903. They were also joined by Nancy's sister Sarah Boggs and her husband Amos Johnson, and sister Sina 'Ellen' Boggs and husband Thomas Triplett.
