BOGGS?JOHNSTON NOTE TO McLANAHAN LINEAGE
Elizabeth Boggs, wife of James McLanahan, was a daughter of Major John Boggs by his wife Elizabeth Johnston.
Major John Boggs, was a son of Andrew Boggs, an early and prominent settler in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The father is said to have possessed land in that county as early as 1730. On 21 August, 1738, he received a warrant of survey for 250 acres. In 1748, he was Ensign in Captain David McClure?s Company of the Associated Regiment in the ?West End of Lancaster County,? and was in service in the French and Indian War at the that time pending. (Pennsylvania Archives, Sec. Ser. Ii, 510). He was a member of the famous Donegal Presbyterian Church. He died in April, 1765, leaving widow Ann, and the following children: John, James, Jean, Andrew, Ann, Mary, and Alexander. His wife is said to have been at one time a prisoner with the Indians, and is probably the Mrs. Boggs who is mentioned in Watson?s Annals, ii, 188, as follows: ?Mrs. Boggs, of the same neighborhood, (frontiers of Lancaster County, 1755), while riding to a neighbor, (frontiers of Lancaster County, 1755). While riding to a neighbor?s house, ?was fired upon by Indians, and her horse killed. She had a ?suckling child with her, which they killed and scalped, the ?mother they took away.? Three of the sons of Ensign Andrew Boggs,--John, Andrew and Alexander, were officers in the Revolution. Jean, the eldest daughter, married Colonel James Dunlop, the founder of Belle-Fonte, Pennsylvania. Ann, the second daughter, married Joseph Lowery, brother of Colonel Alexander Lowery, and Mary, probably the youngest daughter, married Captain Zachariah Moore, also a Revolutionary officer.
Major John Boggs was born about 1731, and died at Bellfonte in 1796. He resided at Greencastle, that town was part of Cumberland Count. In 1776, he was a captain in the Cumberland County militia, and was commissioned a major in January, 1777. On 21 October of the latter year, he was appointed a commissioner in Cumberland County ?to seize the personal effects of traitors,? and on 8 November, the same year, he was appointed a commissioner ?to collect clothing? for the Revolutionary Army.
Major Boggs married, Elizabeth, daughter of James Johnston, one of the early Scotch-Irish settlers in that part of Lancaster County, which, became, in time, Antrim Township, Franklin County. Her brothers were all prominent men, and all held commissions in the Revolutionary service. There were: Colonel Thomas Johnston, Lieutenant-Colonel James Johnston, Dr. Robert Johnston, and Captain John Johnston. Dr. Johnston was a surgeon in the army, and it was at his house that his house that his fellow surgeon, Dr. Barnabas Binney, father of the illustrious Horace Binney, died. Dr. Johnston embalmed the body and sent it to Dr. Binney?s family in Philadelphia.

King Note to McLanahan Lineage
John King, the father of Elizabeth, wife of James Craig McLanahan, was born 25 December, 1778; died 25 August, 1842. He was the son of Alexander King, a Revolutionary soldier. The son (John King) was an Iron-master, and proprietor of Bedford Forge, at which he manufactured iron and chaffery fires. The iron was drawn out into bars, bent into loops, and carried to the Pittsburgh market in pack saddles on back of mules. He married Christina Berkstresser, born 9 July, 1790; died at Snake Springs, 10 January, 1846: daughter of Valentine and Elizabeth Berkstresser. Her father was a Revolutionary soldier.
Children of John King by Christina Berkstresser
I. Elizabeth born 7 January, 1804; died 17 August, 1895, she was aged 91 years, 7 months, and 10 days. She married, on 15 May 1827 or 26 James Craig McLanahan; they had seven children, three died in infancy.

One son Alexander, was a lawyer. Harry married a daughter of Henry Lloyd in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Henry and his wife had three children, Edward, Elizabeth & Sue. One daughter Christina died before the war. Alexander was a lawyer of some note, he was Judge of Bedford County for many years, associated with most prominent men of this county who visited Bedford Springs in its Balmy days. He was President Judge of Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, and Somerset Counties.
III. Nancy (Agnes by Mother?s will), born 2 August, 1807: Married 1st Sheriff Bonnett, afterward Bell. The Bonnetts had three sons. One was killed by the Indians when crossing the plains on his way to California . She also had one or more sons and one daughter to Mr. Bell.

They had 2 sons King & Samuel and one daughter Mame), who married Mr. Bare of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Louis Smith was a Captain in the Bedford Company in the Mexican War. Then he went out Captains of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Rifles in the Civil War, afterwards he was Colonel of one of the Pennsylvania Reserves, Pennsylvania?s best body of Civil War soldiers, later he was a Brevet Brigadier General. Both his sons were in the Civil War.

My Mother (Elizabeth King McLanahan) took Sade home and kept her until she was educated and could care for herself. She was crippled from hip trouble. She never married. She was a smart and noble woman. William Hartley King was an apprentice in the Gaysport Foundry, as a molder, he ran with the crowd in those days known as, ?Whiskey Bill.? After the War he went out to the oil regions and became a well driller. He made big money, but spent it as fast as he got it. His brother John was just the opposite. John?s company was always the high-toned class, rich folks, while Hartley traveled with the lower order. John went to St. Louis during the Civil War, or soon after, and became the leading Life Insurance agent in the City. Afterwards he organized the Life Association of America, and established it in many cities in the country. When I first knew Uncle Tom, he was a big powerful man. I have seen him take tongs in the Bedford Forge and shingle a bloom under the big hammer, as well as the best foreman. But he was a wild fellow, given to speeding, and sometimes got into fights. He was the only man who ever whipped ?Bully Pete Gates.? Gates was a great terror known over several counties as a great fighter. In their first fight Gates hit the end of Uncle Tom?s nose, which disfigured him for life. Yet he was a big handsome man in later years. He was an officer in the Civil War and taken prisoner in N. C. He was held in prison in Charleston, S. C., while I, (Samuel Calvin McLanahn) was on the Moniter Lehigh, blockading port. I got some word that he was in need clothing and I sent him something, which he afterwards told me he had received.
VI. John King, born 17 December, 1813: Married; Margaret Scott, born Fort Landon, 11, January, 1829; died 15 September, 1916. She was the sister of Thomas A. Scott, the greatest Railroad man of his day, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Assistant Secretary of War during the Civil War. John King was a Major in the Civil War & Commissary General of Union Troupes in the Civil War. He was Provost Marshal of St. Louis; at the time it required a man of spirit and determination to handle affairs. But he settled in the rebels in St. Louis to the satisfaction of all. He had one son John, and six daughters. His son graduated at Troy. Soon afterwards was killed on Railroad, near Horse Shoe Bend, while on Railroad duty. The girls were all fine, beautiful girls. One or two of John?s daughters were born in Bedford Forge Big house.
VII. Dr. James King, born in 1816: Married; Ann Russel, she was sister of General A. L. Russel, who was Adjutant General of Pennsylvania under Governor Curtin. She was also the sister of Alex Russel.

It was said that he was injured in college. He was an associate Judge of Bedford County. He was considered very smart. All of the Bedford people said he knew more law than all the Bedford Bar.
Note: All of the Kings, except for Judge King and William were officers in the Civil War, also General A. L. Russell and Captain Smith.
Their were no drones in the Kings. All men and women were workers. They were active, honorable people, commanding the love and respect of their fellow men. As a boy and young man, I had a great bunch of cousins, some boys and a lot of beautiful girls; but after I went to sea I lost track of most of them.

?Dr. Haydon first conceived the idea of setting aside for national use as a perpetual park, the region of the Yellowstone geysers. This idea he urged with such success upon Congress that a law prepared under his direction was passed to that effect. Such a notion would probably have not occurred to the mind of a geologist occupied with the purely scientific details of a new country; and it illustrates excellently well the practical turn of his character.?

VI. Melina Hawley; married Israel Putnam
