Researcher's Note: This is one of the most confusing name I've ever came across. The three sources shows where some of the names came from but none of them were consist for one person's own name. The name "Joel" was handed down by some Boggs Family researcher(s) but never giving a source to the name either. Well after finding the newspaper death notice. It is clear this man of many names.
