Do you know of Bogg's Wharf ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Bogg's Wharf. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Bogg's Wharf.<1>

Our sources for Bogg's Wharf (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Bogg's Wharf other than they indicate that Bogg's Wharf would be found somewhere in Accomack County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1879 and closed  in 1894.
