General Notes: Husband - Robert Boggs

---

He was one of the earliest settlers of Butler County, Pennsylvania. He learned the millwright's trade, and operated a mill prior to his settlement in Butler County. He married his first wife before his settlement in Butler County. In 1796 he located on a tract of 400 acres of land, upon which the borough of Evans City now stands, and built his cabin in the midst of the wilderness. He opened a tavern for the accommodation of the settlers and immigrants looking for homes, which stood upon a site that later was occupied by the store of Boggs & Kline, of Evans City. Some years later he erected a grist mill, a very necessary improvement for that period, which stood upon the site where the brick steam mill was located in Evans City. It was a log structure, and he operated it continuously until about 1836, when he sold the mill and 200 acres of land to Thomas B. Evans, who laid out the borough of Evans City, then called Evansburg. Mr. Boggs resided in that village until his death, aged seventy-two years. Politically, he was a Jackson Demo-crat, filled the office of justice of the peace for many years, and also transacted much of the legal business of his neighbors, such as writing deeds, wills, etc. He always took an active part in political campaigns and wielded considerable influence in the councils of his party. He was one of the original members of Plains Presbyterian church, and was buried in the Cemetery near the church building of that organization, a plain stone marking his last resting place.
