About us

From STR testing (Y-DNA 37 and higher), we have determined two major Boggs Y-DNA families. One is the line from James L Boggs B 1752 of NC, VA, and KY. This line is distinct from the other major Boggs line and is genetically linked to the Bogue line from NC and a Boag line from Scotland. 


From SNP testing (Big-Y, SNP Pack S3058, and specific SNP tests), we have learned how many Boggs Lines connect and how they are connected to some interesting related lines.

Below is a genealogy frequently used in many genealogies. This particular genealogy was posted on the internet by Ruth Hall. She used information posted in the Boggs Newsletter provided by Edward Woodyard, Eugene Boggs, and Mrs Slack. https://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ruthhall/Boggs/JamesBoggs.htm#1

Only Robert is documented as a son. Using the YDNA results of that line, it can be proven that Francis, Ezekiel and William could not be sons. It is uncertain about James, Jr and Alexander. No other lines have been found that are candidates for sos of James. Some later genealogies added John Livingston as a father for James. Extensive testing of many Livingston lines, have not found any Livingston closely related to the Boggs Haplogroups of R-Z29953 and its haplogroups below including R-BY3361 of the James Boggs line.

1. James Boggs  was born about 1667 in Londonderry, Ireland and died on 9 February 1736/37 in New Castle County, Delaware, about age 70.


James married Unknown in Ireland. Unknown was born about 1668 and died before 1724 in Ireland.

Children from this marriage were: (Suspected children)


2 M i. John Boggs was born about 1700 in Londonderry, Ireland and died about 1751 in Nottingham Township, Chester County, PA., about age 51. 

(The haplogroup of John Boggs is R-CTS10990. He could not be a son of James Boggs.)


3 M ii. Francis Boggs was born about 1702 in Londonderry, Ireland and died about 1763 in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, PA, about age 61. 

(Francis Boggs has been documented as R-BY4016. Although SNP BY4016 is down stream of BY3361, it is on a branch too far removed for Francis to be a son of James Boggs. (BY3361>Z4685>BY3354>BY4016))

Francis married Agnes about 1720 in Ireland. Agnes was born about 1704 and died after 1763 in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, PA.


4 M iii. James Boggs, Jr. was born about 1707 in Londonderry, Ireland and died about 1779 in Augusta County, Virginia, about age 72.

Mary married Francis Morris . Francis was born about 1708.


6 M v. Robert Boggs was born about 1712 in Londonderry, Ireland and died on 2 April 1804 in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, about age 92.

 (The haplogroup of this line is BY3361. Because Robert is a documented son of James Boggs, James would be BY3361 also.)


7 F vi. Rebecca Boggs was born about 1714 in Londonderry, Ireland and died after 1763 in Londonderry Township Chester County PA. 


8 M vii. William Boggs was born about 1716 in Londonderry, Ireland and died about 1791 in Highland Township Chester County, PA., about age 75.

9 M viii. Alexander Boggs was born about 1718 in Londonderry, Ireland. 

(No male Boggs descendant has been found to be tested. Relationship to James is unproven.)

10 M ix. Ezekial Boggs was born about 1707 in Londonderry, Ireland and died about 1756 in New Castle County, Delaware, about age 49.
