Patrick Boggan was a Revolutionary War leader and an ardent Anson Regulator. According to his granddaughter, Mrs. Fanny (Coppeage) Mc-Cormick, Captain Boggan received his rank from General Nathanael Greene in Salisbury, NC., though he probably belonged to Col. Wade's "Minute Men". It is said that he fought the Tories furiously. The restored 18th century Boggan-Hammond House in Wadesboro, NC was built by Boggan for his daughter Nellie. He donated the land for present day Wadesboro which was chartered as New Town in 1783. Boggan and his brother-in-law, Col. Thomas Wade, were among the founders of the town.

A historical marker at the Boggan-Hammond House reads:

Erected By Thomas Wade Chapter, DAR, Wadesboro N.C. 1931
(This marker originally stood about 2 miles west on old US Hwy 74)

* James Ingo and Ingo Dozier Cash were brothers who married Boggan sisters.
