General Notes: Husband - Andrew Boggs, Jr.


He was an attorney, was also in the iron business in Centre County, PA, with his cousin, John Dunlop; went west from Bellefonte, and married; lived in Pittsburgh for a time, then on the Kiskiminitis, where he made salt; the great flood of 1832 destroyed his works, entailing a loss of $30,000. The Legislature voted him $15,000 damages, as it had partly been occa­sioned by the building of the Pennsylvania canal. He owned the farm on which Saltsburg was later built. He had eight children with his first wife and four with his second, and finally moved to Springfield, Ohio, where he and his wife both died.

His eldest son died unmarried. His second son was lost on the Isthmus of Darien in 1852.
