Our family history has always stated that my great great grandmother, Sarah Amirah BOGLE Herndon, was the oldest daughter of William R. Bogle and Julia Elytte JONES Bogle. Our research has identified numerous sources which supports and verifies this to be true including: Sarah’s tombstone, Cannon County, TN marriage records, her husband’s obituary, Cannon County deed records, and great similarity in the names of Sarah and her children with W R Bogle family, e g, Sarah Amirah is named after her grandmothers, Sarah Witherspoon and Amiah Fugua.

Finally, we have DNA test results for a known descendant of Nancy Malinda BOGLE, daughter of William R. Bogle, and Sarah Amirah BOGLE Herndon. Both of the ladies tested are female to female descendants all the way back to Julia JONES Bogle. The results are a total match in all aspects.

The biggest mistake to overcome has been the listing of Sarah Amirah as Amos on the 1850 census for W. R. Bogle household even though the person is listed as a female and 8 years old (born in 1842 same as Sarah). No other evidence that an Amos existed has ever been found.

We would be happy to provide detailed sources for this research, left out for brevity, and the extensive information about the descendants of Sarah Amirah BOGLE Herndon. Please contact us.
