[26] _Columbia Mirror & Alexandria Advertiser_, June 19, 1798. John
Bogue had arrived in the United States with his family in 1795. On
June 20, 1795, the _Alexandria Gazette_ published his signed statement
thanking the captain of the ship "Two Sisters" for a good voyage. In
the August 1, 1795 issue of the _Gazette_, he advertised as a joiner
and cabinet maker on Princess Street near Hepburn's Wharf, "hoping to
succeed as his abilities shall preserve him deserving."

Virginia, February 13, 1970.

[31] One of the items to come before the court at this session

for this payment, signed by Mr. Bogue's agent, who apparently had not
passed it along to his principal. Fairfax County Court Order Book,
1799-1800, p. 509.
