Methodist - 9th Virginia Cavalry.
The son of Dr. John Boggs and Isabella Craig Allison Boggs. His father was widely known in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania. His wish was that Charles would follow him into the medical field. Charlie was studying medicine at Manchester, Virginia, where his older brother had charge of the Methodist Church. It was there he felt the irresistible call to preach the gospel. He turned his study to theology and was licensed in 1851. He ministered across much of Virginia. When war came, against the advice of his family and friends, he became chaplain of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry. He served faithfully until the end, then locating on his farm in King William County. He preached every Sabbath day. In 1871 he moved to Missouri, and worked there for four years. He was sorrowful and homesick in this land of strangers and turned once more to Old Virginia. He resumed his life of preaching where needed in the Old Dominion. In 1857 he married Octavia Campbell of Westmoreland County. They issued five children.
