Charles was a son of James Charles Boggs, I and Margaret Jane Sharp. He married Mary Clendenin Boggs in 1776. in Greenbrier County, Virginia. She was a daughter of James Clendenin and Margaret Anderson. (Her Grandfather was Charles Clendenin in which Charleston West Virginia was named after)
Charles Clendenin (1712-1790)
In 1774, Charles served nine months in the VA Militia in the Point Pleasant, VA area. He and four brothers were in the battle of Point Pleasant. On March 1, 1776, Charles volunteered as a scout and Indian spy for a 12 month tour with Captain Matthew Arbuckle. He was stationed at Point Pleasant, and was discharged there after his tour ended. On May 1, 1777, he volunteered for a second 12 month tour and was under the command of Captain Zera Coombs. He was discharged at the end of this second tour. He was granted a pension October 4, 1833.
They lived first in Greenbrier County and then in that part of Kanawha County VA that eventually became Braxton County, WV. On October 4, 1833, Charles appeared before a Justice of the Peace in Nicholas County VA (WV), and gave a declaration in order to obtain a pension as a veteran of the Revolution. He was refused because his claim was drawn by pension speculator W.G. Singleton, and service was not proved.
