The following biography of John Bogan was published anonymously at findagrave.com. I am not the author.
Isaac Bogan was the son of John Bogan and Hannah Jane Griest. He was born in the old Ninety-Six District which took in more area than Union Co. The exact location is not known to us. Isaac served in the Revolutionary War under Captain Blassingame Company, Colonel Thomas Brandon of the Union South Carolina Army. We believe, contrary to the DAR application by later descendants, that his wife was Easter McElroy. Our conclusion and other researchers is based on the last Will of her father who names her as Easter Bogan. We found no evidence that supports the claim that she was Easter Farrar. Since this writing, we have learned from the Piedmont Historial Society Publication of Aug 2006 and the Abstracts of Revolutionary Patriots, that Isaac's stone is a memorial stone rather than a headstone. It is believed that he was actually buried on the home farm ten miles from Union of Union Co. Please remember that the Bogansville Methodist Church and Cemetery was not founded when Isaac died in 1805. In addition regarding McElroy, some land records indicate that James McElroy and Isaac Bogan's property may have joined at a common creek either Dutchmans or Shoally.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
