. The children of Dr. James Boggs & Mary Morris 2 sons, Robert & James, remained in the United States, when the family removed to Nova Scotia. The American Branch of the Boggs Family.
ROBERT BOGGS was born at Indian Neck, Tinton Falls, near Eatontown, New Jersey, Nov. 13th, 1766, at 3 P. M., & died at New Brunswick, N. J., Jan. 11th, 1831, after a lingering illness caused by tumor of the stomach. The Baptismal Register of Christ Church, Shrewsbury, N.J., has an entry for Dec. 14th, 1766, & indicates that the ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Cooke; that it was a private one; & that the sponsors were Robert McKean, Theodore Maurice, & Elizabeth Stogdell.
Robert was seventeen years of age at the time the family removed from New Jersey to Nova Scotia, & he chose to remain in the United States. He studied law in the office of his uncle, Judge Robert Morris, & practiced his profession in New Brunswick, N. J. He was admitted Attorney-at-law in 1789, a* Counsellor-at-law in 1794. He was Judge Advocate General of the NJ Militia, from 1794 to 1795. He was Clerk of the United States District Court from 1790 to 1815, & appointed Sergeant-at-law in 1816. He was elected a trustee of Rutgers College in 1800. An active & influential member of the Anglican Church, he was almost all his life connected with Christ Church, New Brunswick Co., [USA] holding office frequently. He was Clerk of the Convention; member of the Standing Committee; Deputy to the General Convention. He was Vestryman & Clerk of the Parish in 1793. He continued an active & prominent member of the vestry until his death. His remains were interred in Christ Churchyard, New Brunswick, where his tombstone bears this inscription: Born November 13th 1766. Died January 11th, 1831.
'This mortal shall put on immortality. For the trumpet shall sound & the dead shall be raised'."
Robert was one of the executors of the will of his uncle, Robert Morris, who died in June 1815, & it would seem from the correspondence that has survived the years, regarding this duty, that it was by no means a small task, extending, as it did, over several years, & entailing a vast amount of correspondence. The settlement of the 2 wills, that of Robert Hunter Morris, & that of his son, Robert Morris, loomed up as a business of prodigious importance & almost interminable work & worry for all the members of the family in the days of Robert Boggs & his contemporaries.
Robert Boggs was married 3 times. His first wife, whom he married on May 28th, 1795, was his cousin, Mary Morris, daughter of Judge Robert Morris. She was born at Newark, N. J., in Feb. 1775, & died at New Brunswick, N. J., June 24th, 1799, aged 25 years. She was interred in Christ Churchyard, New Brunswick.
Robert's second wife was Mary Lawrence, daughter of John Lawrence, Esq., of Burlington, N. J., & a
sister of Capt. James Lawrence, the heroic commander of the United States frigate "Chesapeake. … Mary Lawrence was born at Burlington, N. J., in 1777, & died at New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 12th, 1815. She was married to Robert Boggs, August 7th, 1802.

Part Two Newspaper Article

. 1807 Jan 21 - To Robert Boggs, Esq. The editors of this paper a few weeks since, published a hand bill said to be signed, by you & five other gentlemen of your city, as a Committee, appointed to address the electors of your county, previous to the lat election: I have waited with some hope of seeing you come forward & publicly deny your agency in that handbill: for I cannot conceive how a man in your station - an officer one of the US courts, and as such, possessed of the means of correct information on the subject of your address - would lend his signature to give currency to a catalogue of tales that have been hackneyed so long and refused so offend, as those on which you have ventured your reputation, as a man of veracity. And this address is made to you, in preference of your colleagues only as you are an officer of the government you have thought fit to traduce.
Every gov. expects support for every member that a composes it; but should it pursue a system evidently inimical to the interest of the governed, the virtuous ember will certainly preset this duty paramount, which he owes his country & denounce the corruptor vicious part of it. His virtue will also to be consistent, compel him to decline all cooperation in the administration of the gov. he hold it his duty to denounced, and all the emoluments too, annexed to his part of it.
How Mr. Boggs, will you conduct square with this rule? You have done you at most to calumniate, even beyond the verge of the circle of your influence the gov. that feuds you: you have put your name to a general libel on it, without adducing one singe solitary evidence to support this libel. And yet you receive the wages of the gov. you have libeled Unhappy, infatuated X! That animal is but a type of thee, that while he greedily gnaws his bone, snaps at the hand that reaches at! If our gov. is so wretched, why have any thing to do in it. Withdraw your Herculean shoulder from the wheel and let it sink into the more of contemptibility!
Your committee has bravely constructed a Socratic battery? against the administration of our union & state gov; and annoy them severely with a folly of insidious questions. You seem deeply read in this kind of argument - but how happened your Socratic wisdom totally to overlook the obligation you were under the finding some mode of argument to prove the truth of the assertions on which you questions are predicated? You as a lawyer, would not admit your adversary to beg the question. Your committee is a set of sturdy beggars who have begged nine in a breath! But owing to jerry? perhaps, you never thought of proving one of them. Now sir, your queries may all be answered, as far as they have any specific meaning attached to them where they have not have or may follow you into the wide field of conjecture and if the answers are forward for us, we'll direct you to where you may find them already done, in a manner that forbids every idea of cavil or doubt. This will be undertaken as leisure and convenience will admit. I am YOUR FRIEND.

. Lawrence Boggs, of Newark. James Boggs was a keen & prosperous business man & for his day was very wealthy. At his decease his personal property was reckoned to amount to more than S200, 000. He lived for many years at 113 Chambers St., New York City, where every appointment was most luxurious & he dispensed a grand hospitality. It was here that his daughter Mary Rebecca was married. He also owned another home at Bloomingdale, known as "Chevilly," formerly the residence of Lieut. Governor Broome, his father-in-law. This residence was of considerable historic interest. It was built by Mme. d'Auliffe, maid-of-honor to Marie Antoinette. She fled from France to escape the horrors of the French Revolution, & erected this residence for herself. It lay to the west of Broadway between 72nd & 73rd streets. The famous Talleyrand & General Moreau had been guests in the house.
In the years 1794-1798 & again in 1S02 yellow fever was very prevalent in Philadelphia, & we find a letter written in 1802 by Dr. James Boggs to his son Robert, speaking of his anxiety concerning his son James in Philadelphia, & expressing his satisfaction at knowing that James had promised to remove "his store to Germantown." James was recovering from some illness & severe trouble with his eyes & was "to go to Yellow Springs to drink the waters." In 1820 James & his son visited his parents & other relatives at Halifax, N. S., which fact is referred to in a letter from his mother to her son Robert, Nov. 24th 1820.

. 1862 Aug 9 - Death of Lieut. Robert Boggs, We regret to learn that this fine young officer, a son of the gallant commander of the Varune, Charles S Boggs of NB, died a few days since in campy. The despatch announcing his death does not sate whether he died from sickness or was killed, but the former is believed to be the case. At the time of his death he was barely or not quite of age & was 1st Lieutenant of Co. G 1st Reg. NJV, which company he was mainly instrumental in forming & with which he has been on constant duty at the seat of war, participating with it as the reserve at the battle of Bull Run & in all the battles of the Peninsula. He was noble looking, ardent & brave officer & has just been promoted to a Captaincy in the 11 Reg, now at Camp Perrine. The friends of his gallant father will cordially sympathize with him in this sad bereavement.

. 1862 Aug 6 - Lieut. Robert Boggs of the First NJ Volunteers, Co. G. died of typhoid fever in the hospital near Harison's Landing, after 10 days illness, in the 19th year of his age, was 2nd son of Capt. C S Boggs, USN. He was born in New Brunswick, NJ, Oct 18, 1842 & consequently would not have been 20 years of age until the coming fall. Boy though he was in years, he might have shamed many man, by his steadiness of purpose, his industry & love of country. In the words of his commanding General, Always at his post, attentive to his duties, I considered Lieut. Boggs among the first officers of his grade. A loss to his country, he will be sadly missed by friends here to whom he was endeared by his sincerity & fine manly qualities.

In his early youth, Lieut. Boggs was remarkable for his love of truth & no fear of punishment could lead him to tell what was false. At the first Union meeting in his native town he was one of the first to sign his name as a volunteer in behalf of his country. He was prior to this, for 2 years in the Naval School at Annapolis, but left there before graduating & then turned his attention to civil engineering, his acquisitions in which science being found extremely useful, when he was leading a band of pioneers before the battle in front of Richmond. He escaped all the perils of those days to fall under the attacks of another & more inglorious foe, which has carried off so many of our bravest men.
His remains were brought to NB to be interred. The care with which they were prepared & sent North was another evidence, if lore were wanting, of the affection & respect he was inspired in those around him He was buried from christ church, attended by many sorrowing relatives & friends. the coffin, containing his earthly tabernacle was covered, not with a funeral pall, but with the flag of the Varnuna, surmounted by a cross of evergreen ivy, a profusion of white flowers & his sword & sash, fit emblems of immortality, youth & bravery.
Capt. Boggs himself entered the US Navy at the early age of 17 & his son entered the volunteer service when only 18, at a time when there as a fearful looking forward to the further & which has been followed by still more fearful continuation of our trials.. It is somewhat remarkable, that Capt. Boggs should have received is promotion as Post captain in the US Navy & his son as Capt. in the 11th Reg. NJV, on the same day, shut when the latter was too ill to realize it.
There was a saying among the ancients, that he whom the gods loved died early, surely therefore, we who live in a christian country with christian privileges, should hope abad trust that the stroke which removed our young friend so early from the scene of life was sent in loving kinds & tender mere.
