There are many, many stones in this cemetery which are

completely worn away. I believe that these are the graves

of a number of Boggs, but cannot confirm it.  There are also a

large number of field stones. The United States Geological

Survey Map for this area calls this cemetery the "Jess

Boggs Cemetery". I believe that this is Jesse Boggs, mentioned

on the headstone of William Boggs. It is possible that Jesse

Boggs is buried in this cemetery as well.
