Henry and Rebecca Boggs moved from Lancaster Co., PA to Botetourt Co. (now Rockbridge), VA. Here they received 400 acres in the Greenlee Grant. The farm was located 2.5 miles east of the Natural Bridge and 3 miles north of the James River. It was here on the eastern side of "Indian Road" that Henry erected a home. Also built on this land was the twelve (12) cornered church of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian faith known as The Fork of James Meeting House. They reared seven (7) children here. The homestead land that was remaining at the time of Henry's death was willed to son Samuel (3rd son). His will was proved October 1797. Henry, and later Rebecca, were buried in the little graveyard of the Fork of James Church. The original home and church are long gone. The cemetery was abandoned and neglected to the point of being overgrown and undetectable as a cemetery. In the 1980's it was re-discovered and cleared of brush and debris. Then called the Miller-Irwin Cemetery, a new memorial monument to the Millers was erected.

Children: John, William, Samuel, Margaret, Elizabeth, Jean, Rebecca.
