Cornelius Bogard the son of Gysbert Bogard and his second wife Elizabeth Davis-Petty was by profession a sharpshooter, County Militia Captain, County Official, and land speculator.
He resided on his father Gybert's land located in the South Branch Manor* now Hardy County (W)V from his birth until 1776 when he and his family moved to Beverly, Tygart's Valley, Randolph County, (W)V then Augusta, VA.
He married Sarah, last name undetermined, circa 1770.
His children named by the Randolph County Clerk of Court were:
1. Gysbert 'Jasper' Bogard 1771-1812
2. Elizabeth Bogard (Currence) 19 Oct. 1776-3 April 1857
3. Cornelius Bogard c. 1780-1807
4. Mary Ann Bogard (Oliver) 8 July 1785-c. 1860
5. Mahala Bogard (Sigler) 12 April 1788-23 July 1854
6. George Bogard 1791-c. 1836
7. John Bogard c. 1792-1830
Cornelius Bogard began his military service as a soldier in Dunmore's War under Capt. John Harness where he served along with his brother, Ezekial Bogard.
According to the pension applications of his Cousins Abel, Cornelius, Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac Westfall, their wives, and the Revolutionary War Records for Cornelius Bogard, he was recruited at Moorefield, VA and served 3 years. (His service records are nearly identical to his cousin Abraham Westfall).
He served in the Revolution in the 4th, 8th, and 12th Regiments under Major Jonathan Clark and Capt Thomas Bowyer commanded by Col. James Wood 1777-1779 and according to the book, 'Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War' and Augusta County VA documents, he also served as Ensign under his fellow Tygart's Valley (W)V inhabitant and signer of the 1776 and 1780 Tygart's Valley Petitions, Col Benjamin Wilson, 1780-1783.
After the Revolution, he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel in the Virginia Militia and rode the circuit along the Little Kanawha to the banks of the Ohio River and throughout Randolph, Monongalia, and Harrison Counties, VA. In the 'Virginia Calendar of State Papers', his Militia service is reported through letters and diaries for the years 1790-1794.
He was appointed Coroner, Sheriff, and Magistrate for Randolph County (W)V and Captain of the Militia for Monongalia, (W)V, and served the County Court until 1798.
He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for the years 1789-1795.
He moved from Beverly, Tygart's Valley, Randolph County (W)V in 1799 to Ross County, Ohio along with his family and many of his friends, most notably Abraham Claypole, fellow Randolph County VA representative to the VA Assembly.
His death occurred between May 24, 1800, the date of his last contract, and June 7, 1800, the date of his first probate related document.
Because William Schooley, the founder of the Schooley Cemetery, founded in 1799 attended his settlement, he may have been buried there.
