James Boggs (general)
James Boggs (April 8, 1796 – January 28, 1862) was a brigadier general in the Virginia militia, who served along with the Confederate States Army in northwestern Virginia at various times during 1861 and early 1862 in the American Civil War. Boggs's men participated in Stonewall Jackson's attacks on the towns of Romney and Bath, later Berkeley Springs, now in West Virginia in early January 1862. Debilitated from his responsibilities and the harsh winter weather at his advanced age, Boggs's health failed and he died on January 28, 1862.
Prior to the civil war, Boggs had been a farmer and slave owner, county justice, county sheriff, merchant and a member of the Virginia General Assembly in 1861–1862.
