• Notes

  The 1850 & 1910 Census has Harriet being born in 1826, the 1860 has her being born in 1828, and the 1870 & 1880 Census has her being born in 1827. In the 1880 Census, Robert and Harriet have her father Abijah Boggess living with them along with a person by the name of Ralph Boggess. Ralph is listed as being a servant. However, I believe that he may be a brother or some type of relation to Harriet. Further research is required to figure that out. According to the obituary of Harriet, she was the mother of 14 children. There were two children listed as being a Thomas in the 1870 Census. One was born in 1869 and one in 1868. Is the 2nd Thomas actually someone else? According to Harriet's daughters death certificate she was born in Meigs County, Tennessee. However, Meigs County did not exist until 1836
