Notes:

Note:
Believed to be our line because all trace of this William Boig ends in Scotland about the time William Bogue appears in Virginia. William Boig, believed our immigrant ancestor, was born to Alexander Boig of Burnhouses and Elizabeth Cokburne probably at the Burnhouses estate in Berwickshire, Scotland. 1650 - William Boig, our ancestor, and his brothers are believed to have served in the Scots army during the latter phases of the Civil War. He probably was captured at Worcester, shipped to Virginia as an indentured servant, changed the spelling of his surname from 'Boig' to 'Bogue' which was a common family practice during his generation. With a natural dislike for the Anglican Church in Virginia he was probably evangelized by Quaker missionaries who were soon ejected from the colony, married the Quaker Jane Edwards, fathered three children, and died in Virginia. His three Quaker children, Robert, William and Margaret migrated to the Province of Carolina with their remarried mother, Jane Loadman. Together they settled in a Quaker community near Hertford along the east bank of the Perquimans River. The Burnhouse property, one of five original Bogue estates, is approximately 550 acres, the same size as it was in 1651. A stream runs through the family estate next to where the houses are located.
