  Origins
  Notes	Who was his family? Since her first child I know of was born in 1793, she'd have been born before about 1775 at the latest. A number of Bogles are buried in Eusebia Church Cemetery in Blount Co., according to findagrave; she’s very possibly part of that family. That family's origin Joseph Bogle Sr. (1730-1790). He apparently traveled down from Pennsylvania to Tennessee. His daughter Janet is named in his (1789) will, but she died in 1797.

• Histories

  Tennessee Family Mysteries Tennessee is key for the Strain family, who migrated from Augusta and Rockbridge counties in Virginia down the Shenandoah Valley to Blount Co., Tennessee. Information on this family comes almost exclusively from their family Bible, which while wonderful provides little context. The history of this family provides one of the more difficult puzzles to access.
