The History Of Roane County 1927 By William H. Bishop

Pages 46 - 48 -Much of the settling was done by groups of relatives; Spencer District; the Boggs, Vandales &; Tanners, Millers, Carpenters Depues; Greathouses and Wrights.---------The early settlers of Roane County were imbued with high appreciation of prospects here; they were men of means; John Boggs came with his family from Greenbrier County, bringing with him some twenty negro slaves; he gradually sold all these; They proved unprofitable in this kind of county; and the white man found delight in working.

Page 280 ---John Boggs, a Virginian, coming by way of Greenbrier County settled on a tract of 1500 acres of land on lower Spring Creek about the year 1830; he was a man of large means, bringing with him some twenty negro slaves. John Boggs also bought a large tract of "The Tilton Survey" some two thousand acres or more extending across both Spring Creek and Reedy, this proved to be a "Junior Patent" and he lost most of this tract; he had several sons and daughters, of whom the sons Charles and Hawkins figure in the history of Reedy District; and of his daughters we mention here Sarah, the wife of James Vandal, who came at the same time or one year later, as Andrew L. Vandal, their son, in his biography says they came in year 1832. Evaline Belmont Boggs, who married Beniah Depue Sr; and Margaret Boggs, who married Stephen Hicks, were daughters of this John Boggs. The Vandal, and Depues became large landholders and made big farms on lower Spring Creek; James Vandal and Sarah, His wife reared three sons and one daughter; the sons were Andre L., Jonathan, and William B.(Note goes on to give accounts of some of the granchildren of Sarah Vandal.)

Pages 282-283 - William Greathouse and wife, Nancy, a daughter of Stephen Hicks, settled about the year 1830 on a tract of land of 400 acres, given to her by her father, adjoining the Samuel Tanner tract on its north. The Spencer Cemetery on the Spencer and Ravenswood turnpike is a part of this land, and was given by Nancy Greathouse, as a community burial place.(Note Nancy got the land from her grandfather John Boggs and not her father.)

The other , Washington Hicks, who married Delilah Burdett, made a home farm on lower Spring Creek. Of his several children the best known is Armstrong Hicks, a frequent visitor in the city, noted for his Stalwart frame and full gray beard.
