Research Notes

This belongs to his father:

James Boggs, AKA "White Clay Creek James" or "James the Immigrant" emigrated from Ireland with his three sons, James, William and Ezekiel via Philadelphia to New Castle Delaware in about 1720. They came on The Colossus a common carrier of passengers and eventually landed February 28 1724 in Wilmington, Delaware. They came from the Londonderry, Ireland area. He was accompanied by his children (and probably grandchildren), some of whom may have arrived in the area prior to his settlement on the deed for 100 acres of land purchased on 17 November 1726 lists the seller as John Chambers, yeoman, to James Boggs, shoemaker ^[1] The location of the farm was on Paper Mill Rd. where the Dupont Louviers bldg stands.
