Descendants of

William BOGUE and Jane Clare?

First Generation

1. William BOGUE was born about 1640 in Scotland. He died on 5 Apr 1687 probably in Perquimans County, North Carolina. William married about 1664 probably in Scotland, Jane possibly CLARE, the posible daughter of William CLARE. She died after Sep 1701 in Perquimans. (SEE CLARE FAMILY). She married 1st John Moore, 3rd Richard Byer and 4th William Newby.

"It is believed the family lived in or near Auchencraw, Scotland and were of French extraction. The name Bogue means "The Bow", and those living in Scotland during the reigns of Scottish Kings Duncan, Malcolm III, Canmore, and David I, were probably archers." Variant spellings: Boog, Boeg, Boege, Boag, Boge, Boage, Booge and Bogue In Sweden and Ireland the name is Boge and in Normandy it is Bogue. It is derived from an ancient Teutonic personal name of Bogue. "Fort Macon , protecting Beaufort, North Carolina was located on the easterly point of "Bogue Banks". Early land maps, as well as those of today, name the body of water lying between the mainland and "Bogue Banks", "Bogue Sound" [1].

It is not known when the Bogues arrived in America. A William Bogue was part of a court proceedings in Virginia in 1671 and 1672. Jane Byer received land for transporting several persons to North Carolina in April 1696.

William married Elizabeth 10 9mo (Nov) 1697, with her mother’s permission. She was the daughter of John and Margaret MacBride[2]. I assume William Bogue was the half brother of William Moor/Moore.
