History of Belmont and Jefferson Counties, Ohio. J.A. Caldwell. Historical Publishing Co., 1880 Page 420:
Lewis Boger was born in Wurtemburg, Germany in the year 1808. The Boger family belonged to the Society of Harmonyites, and came to America in 1817. They first came to the village of Harmony in western Pennsylvania, thence to New Harmon, on the Wabash, in Indiana, and finally settled at Economy, in Beaver county, Pennsylvania. Lewis Boger was not suited by nature to the strictures of the society, and ran away, going to Cincinnati on a keel boat. Some time after this the Boger family seceded from the society, and resided for awhile near Wellsburg, West Virginia. Lewis, who in the meantime had learned the English language, and the "ways of the world" now rejoined the family, and they then settled on Cat's Run, in Belmont county. This was in 1833. Lewis married Sevilla Gates, and in 1849 came to Powhatan Point. He bought, in company with his brothers, the mill that was then here, but it was destroyed by fire after they run it one day (sic), and they immediately built a new one, being the present brick structure at Powhaten Point, which was run under the firm name of G.L. and J. Boger. Afterwards, they added the factory, Lewis Boger is now an invalid, being stricken with paralysis. He had a family for four sons and three daughters. Two sons and one daughter are now living. The two sons, John and Jacob, are now running the factory.

Lewis married Sevilla GATES on 27 Dec 1837 in Belmont County, Ohio. Sevilla (daughter of Henry GATES and Elizabeth BROWN) was born on 11 Nov 1820 in York Twp., Belmont Co., Ohio; died on 04 Mar 1910 in Belmont Co., Ohio; was buried in Powhatten Point Cemetery, Powhatten Point, Ohio.

Know all persons that I Henry Gaits being at this time in usual health of body, and mind, do make and ordain this may last will and testament. I do this knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, and that in all probability at no distant day--Having in the first place conveyed the farm on which I now live to my son Robert B.

It therefore only remains for me to dispose of the money and other effects, which I do in the following manner, viz The Eighty acre of land I own in the State Illinois, if not sold before my death I wish it to be sold as soon after as convenient, and the money arising from its sale and the money now due me from other persons to the amount of about Six hundred dollars to be divided part and part equal between my six daughters, viz--To Lydia Harman, one sixth part to Sevilla Boger, one sixth part, to Mary Harman one sixth part, to Barbara Crist if living, one sixth part, and if she be dead to her heirs, to Catharine Powell one sixth part and Caroline McIntire one sixth part. My household furniture, of any description, I wish my daughters above named to distribute satisfactorily among themselves, if they desire not to do so then sell it and divide the amount realized among themselves. the few farming implements & wagon of mine devise to my son Robert B. Gaits.

Given under my hand this 29th day of May, in the year A D 1869
