James Clendenin Boggs, was reared on his fathers farm on the Greenbrier River. He later bought a tract of 3,600 acres, since called the Boggs Place, in Braxton County, between Frametown and Gassaway.
In 1812, James built the first Grist Mill in Braxton County ten miles below Sutton, on the Elk River, which he operated until his death.
He was a Justice of the Peace for Braxton County for many years.
Several months prior to his death, he sold 1,500 acres of his land and the mill to his son James Anderson Boggs, for $234.75. The city of Gassaway is now situated upon this land tract. The land and mill were a part of James C. Boggs' estate at the time of his death. This circumstance caused James Anderson Boggs to sue his siblings in 1854 for the deed of conveyance signed by his rather for the land and half interest in the mill which he had legally sold on 15 November 1845. It was never resolved, and ended in 1885 with the death of James Anderson Boggs. James died in 1846 and his widow died five years later, on 27 August 1851, both in Braxton County, VA.
His will was administered in Braxton County, VA, on 5 May 1852.
They are both buried in the Old Boggs Cemetery on Pigeon Run, near Upper Rock Camp, in Braxton County. His grave is marked with his initials (J. C. B.) and hers with MARY.
