Figures from the 1820, 1830, and 1840 census records confirm that Lemuel and Rachel had six children. I have put the information together and formed the following list:
Boy born between 1821 – 1825
Girl born between 1821 – 1825
Girl born between 1825 – 1830
Boy born between 1825 – 1830
Boy born between 1830 – 1835
Boy born between 1830 – 1835
There is a database on Ancestry.com which lists the children of Lemuel and Rachel Oates Boggess. The information about the database is as follows:
What Can I Find in the Family Data Collections - Births database?
These birth records were created during a study about human genetics and disease. The millions of individual records were created from a variety of sources, including birth, marriage, and death records, obituaries, probate records, books of remembrance, family histories, genealogies, family group sheets, and more, but the documentation was not kept. Since genetics confirms relationships in a scientific way, researchers were not concerned with citing the source of every genealogical fact compiled.
These results have now been sorted into Birth, Marriage, and Death categories. Due to the lack of documentation, treat this information like a secondary source, but use it to record possible birth, marriage, and death dates and names, and other possible information that could be listed. Then, with the new names you may have collected, visit census records and vital records to confirm information and find clues to additional details.
