He was a gardener by trade, and in 1820 went to England, where six years later he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Parrot. This union resulted in the birth of eight children, who grew to maturity: - John, Allen, James, Thomas, David, Richard, Ann, and Emma. In 1837, Mr. Bogue immigrated to Canada and settled on a farm of 120 acres on the 1st Concession, Lot --. Mr. Bogue cleared his farm with his own hands, and was a hard-working man. He is held in high esteem by all who know him; is in very comfortable circumstances, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor.
