Dear Family,
I know the area where James lived in Person Co.NC In fact his home was still standing about 15 years ago when I was there. It is on the Blue Wing Creek up near the Virginia border. There were a whole group of Boswells in that area. Not far away from James Boswell's home are the Granville NC---Halifax Co. Va. and Mechlinburg Co. Va. border. Ransom Boswell Sr. ran a grist mill on Aarons Creek only a few miles from James. John Boswell who married into the Wilkerson Family lived near there as well on Grassy Creek and the Buffalo Creeks. They all came in there and settled those areas around the same time. As I said I am very familiar with the area up there. Any questions about the area are welcome---I will do my best to answer them.
