      1f 50-60

      1840 Jackson, VA
      George Bogus
      1m 60-70
      [probably lived in the part of Kanawha that became Jackson in 1831, kids probably lived on other side of the county line]

      Missing:
      female born 1795-1800, gone in 1820 - married or dead? No record of marriage
      1 males born 1810-1820, gone in 1830 - dead?
      1 female born 1815-1820

      Only Kanawha Co marriages for male before 1850 were George, William, Simpson and Wilson.

      While there is no proof for some of the children that George and Jane are their parents, because he is the only Boggess in Kanawha Co, and because their ages fit into the catagories on the censuses, I have concluded that all are the children of George and Jane.
