Error in Boggs tree

Question

There is a problem with names and dates.

James Leander Boggs 1808-1865                                                                                   Father: Aaron Boggs 1750-1833                                                                     Father: William Boggs 1716-1790                                                                   Father: William Boggs 1750-1833

I don't know how to fix it.  I hope you can help clear up the dates.

Answer 1

I see that the only source cited for this line of descent is Ancestry.com. That's usually a bad sign when no more-specific sources are given and, sure enough, it looks as though in addition to the date problem there may be a joining of two unrelated lines of descent.

According to Find A Grave (not always a reliable source, either) William Boggs (1716-1790) was a son of James Boggs (1667-1736) and Rebecca Moray (c1675-1720). The Find A Grave entry does include an excerpt from the abstract of William's will, which gives his children as Joseph, Jane, Elizabeth, Rebecca, James, Robert, Margaret and William.
