BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, BELMONT COUNTY, OHIO "History of the Upper Ohio Valley" Vol. II, 1890. Presented by Linda Fluharty from hard copies provided by Mary Staley & Phyllis Slater. Pages 690-691. MOSES BOGGS, a venerable and respected citizen of Smith township, was born in Richland township, Belmont county, May 28, 1809. He is a son of Rice Boggs and his wife, Theodosia Stephenson. His father was born in Delaware, and removed thence to Pennsylvania, and from there to Ohio in an early day, becoming one of the pioneers of the state. After an industrious and adventurous life he passed away at the age of ninety-three years. Moses Boggs was educated in the old log school-house of his day, with its slab seats and greased paper lights, and as he grew up he adopted the vocation of a farmer, which he has since followed in connection with stock-raising and dealing, and with such success that he has accumulated property and has a comfortable home during his declining lears, Mr. Boggs is a member of the Presbyterian church. He is liberal in his relations to church and community, and has many friends.
