BEWARE!! Mary E Boggs' younger sister Malissa Belle Boggs, 1875-1938, called herself MARY and it has caused a lot of mix-up between the sisters records. Malessia Belle "Mary" Boggs married McDaniel Igo on 1 Aug 1891 in Roane Co WV

Spouse Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 17 Aug 1886
County: Clay

Regarding a picture of an BOGGS-DAVIS-EAGLE Reunion:
Mary E. (Boggs) Davis was identified by Denver Jacob 'Den' Eagle,1921-1997, as his grandmother, Mary (Boggs) Davis, when Evelyne (Eagle) McLaughlin had the picture printed in a Clay Co., WV paper to see if anyone could identify any of those pictured.
Added to that is the fact that Mary (Boggs) Davis had had her last child, Sampson Coburn Davis, in Feb of 1894 in Ritchie Co., WV. Mary (Boggs) Davis died sometime between the birth of M. J. Boggs a female daughter died 30 Jul 1896. and the date when Mary's husband, Morris Gordon Davis,1866-1939, remarried a second wife, of three, on 18 November 1896 in Clay Co., WV. The second wife was Nancy Belle Buchkhammer who died before 3 January 1911, when M. G. Davis married his third wife, Frances 'Fannie' Holcomb in Clay Co., WV, on 3 Jan 1911.
……………..
Beware ! Some list this MARY E. BOGGS as the child of David Pierson Boggs, died 1904 & Bathsheba "Barbara'Duddield, 1841-1902. INCORRECT
They also list Morris Gordon Davis as Paris Gordon Davis WRONG!!!!
However, they state that Mary Jane E. Boggs Davis died in 1938 WRONG!!!! Morris Gordon Davis was married three times by 1938

If I transcribed the records correctly, then the clerk or the informant mixed things up. An 1895 death is listed in 1896 deaths. M. E. may actually be a child & the July date is actually the birthdate & the December date is actually the birth date. If the child was really 4, then maybe b. December 28, 1890, d. July 28, 1895. Or, ... maybe the dates, whatever they are, belong to the 1 yr. old child, M. J., and M. E. is actually the wife of Morris Gordon Davis & died July 30, 1896. It's just too speculative at this point. I checked the Braxton Co. deaths, too, but didn't find a Davis where it should be. I put the 2 entries in my file but it's probably best to just keep them aside until something more certain is found.

(I, Karen EAGLE Moman, had also found the same data and was completely in awe of the records as they were entered. Rick Holcomb was very helpful in helping me figure out all the kinks.

BURIAL:
Most likely Mary E (BOGGS) Davis is buried somewhere in Clay Co WV or Rithcie Co WV (where her last child was born abt 1895). I have looked since 1985 and have not found where she is interred.
