Biography
Samual was born on 25 May 1816 in Madison County, Alabama. He was a son of Samuel Oliver Boggs and Mary Polly Kent.[1]
On 13 Dec 1838, he married Sarah Jane Cavett in Madison, Alabama.[2] They made their home in a Madison County plantation, where the 1840 census lists two white people, two freemen of color, and 24 slaves.[3]
In 1844, the Boggs moved to Bossier Parish, Louisiana. Samuel was one of the early settlers of the parish, always living within two miles of the place where he first settled. For six years prior to the war, he was a member of the police jury. He was always noted for his great strength, and, in 1890, when seventy-four years of age, was still called "hale and hearty."[1]
The children of Samuel and Jane Boggs were:[4][5][6]
- Alexander Cavett (1842-)
- James C. (1843-1844)
- Richard V. (1845-)
- Arthur (1848-1887)
- Mary Lou (1850-1931)
- Samuel T. (1854-)
- Moses J. (1857-)
- Henry Luther (1859-1930)
- Jefferson Davis (1861-1934)
Jane passed away in 1861, and Samuel remarried, to Louisa Fowler Davis, a widow, on 7 Jun 1863.[7]
Samuel passed away on 11 Feb 1891, in Bossier, Louisiana. The location of his grave is not known.[8]
