Thomas Boggs was born in Belmont County, Ohio in 1804. He married Elizabeth Bonnett in Coshocton County, Ohio on October 16, 1934.

A "History of Muscatine County, Iowa, Vol two" (1911) includes a biography of his son John. Part of this is a short biography of his parents: "[John] is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Bonnett) Boggs, the former a native of Belmont county, Ohio, and the latter of Ohio county, West Virginia. They were married in Coshocton county, Ohio and subsequently lived in Wisconsin and Illinois, but permanently settled on a farm of eighty acres in Orono Township, Muscatine County, Iowa, in 1858. Mr. Boggs cultivated his land to good advantage for many years and was called away March 24, 1881. The mother departed this life nine years later. There were five children in their family, namely: John, the subject of this review; Mary, of Conesville, Iowa, the widow of Thomas Maxwell; Sarah, the widow of Henry Sears, of Nebraska City, Nebraska; Louis, who died in infancy; and Clara, the widow of James McDaniel, of Muscatine county."
