h/o Susanna "Susie" Boggess Marders
Birth: in Washington city, District of Columbia
Census: 1870, age 18 in Mount Vernon district, Fairfax county, Virginia single, farmer with even farm hands
Census: 1880 in Mount Vernon district, Fairfax county, singke.
Census: 1900, age 49 in Mount Vernon district, Fairfax county, Virginia with wife & two kids.
Census: 1910, age 59 Mount Vernon district, Fairfax county, Virginia with wife & one son, on Colchester road, a farmer.
Census: 1920, age 69 in Mount Vernon district, Fairfax county, Virginia with wife, son & his wife & their tree kids.
Census: 1820, age 70 in Alexandria city, Virginia with wife & two granddaughters.
Census: 1930 (?), age 83 in Washington, District of Columbia with wife in John A Mettler & wife Edith's household.
A great,granddaughter-in-law sold the Boggess property in 1974 following 1972 burning of replacement home at 9501 Old Colchester road, Lorton, Fairfax county, Virginia, built on 1741 LaGrange's foundation, on part of said land purchased in 1730 by Robert & Ann (Cox) Boggess.
Also, reportedly in 1841, Philip Otterback [most likely his mother's father] of Washington, D.C. purchased the "Tract of land (and fisheries thereunto appertaining)called ["Possum Point"] ‘Belvoir' or the ‘White House'" for slightly over $12,000. The 1860 Federal agricultural census shows that Otterback raised wheat, corn, and oats on approximately one-third of his Belvoir tract. The remaining "unimproved" land, part of which was known as Otterback's Woods," probably was used for timber and pasture, since he also owned considerable livestock, including horses, cattle, pigs, and substantial numbers of sheep.
NOTE: Wm Fairfax's Belvoir lands abutted Boggess' La Grange lands on the north & west, with home built year before La Grange, where the Lord Thomas Fairfax lived a few years till moving west to southeast of Winchester, in now, Clarke ounty, Virginia.
"My biggest regret in life is that the beautiful Mansion (the second house) and the orginal house which had been refurbished and was the house I actually grew up in are gone.
"When my Grandfather died his will was contested by his sister my Aunt Tay and it went into probate. They couldn't find a deed of course and upon research found the original land grant. Unfortunately they also found a large amount of reconstruction era taxes that were not paid and the state took the remaining 35 acres. The original 3,000 acres were taken by the federal govenment during WWI and constucted Fort Humphrey now Fort Belvoir.
