"Margaret Boggs, widow of James Boggs, Sr., died some time after 20 April 1816. According to a suit filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Gallia Co., Ohio, II Nov. 1819, entitled "Alexander Boggs vs. Ezekiel Boggs, Executor of the last will and testament of James Boggs, deceased" , Alexander stated that he had taken care of his mother, Margaret, for the full term of four years from 20 Apr. 1812, according to an agreement made with his brother, Ezekiel. In 1819, Alexander was living in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., as was his son, James, who appeared in court with him. Of the Boggs men believed to have been brothers and sons of James and Margaret, Alexander, James, Jr., Samuel, and Andrew settled in Gallia Co., Francis in Nicholas Co., Va., John in Roane Co., Va., and William probably in clark Co., Ky. Only Ezekiel remained in Greenbrier Co."

The family were members of the Salem Monthly Meeting in Salem County, New Jersey, and lived in Burlington County on land owned by Anthony Sharp Jr. that was later willed to them upon his death in Dublin, in 1707. Two sons, John and Joseph, removed to Chester County, PA, to land Joseph was deeded by William Penn, on 16 August, 1731. William Jr. and Mary (Austin) Sharp, are thought to have died about 1745, in Burlington County, and their youngest child Margaret Jane, is then believed to have joined her uncles John and Joseph, in Chester County, PA; however, Joseph Sharp, died in Chester County, in 1746 and his brother John, died there in about 1748. It was after the deaths of these presumed guardians, that she must have met James Boggs, whom she marries "outside of the Society", by eloping to near by Wilmington. However, due to a lack of records, all of this evidence remains circumstantial and is, thus, supposition.
