Biography

Dan Bogie was born on May 5, 1858, at the Abe Wheeler place about nine miles east of Lancaster in Madison County, KY. The area was Spoonsville at his birth, but later became known as Nina. Dan Bogie enslaved his father, Dan Bogie [1], in Kirksville, and it was after him Dan was named. His mother’s family was from Garrard County to the west, and her name was Lucinda Embry. She was enslaved by the Wheeler family there. He had a younger sister born in 1860, whose name is unknown, and passed away before him. She was buried near Lancaster in Garrard County. His family lived in a one-room cabin on the 200-acre property of Dan Bogie (enslaver). Dan grew up in a one-room cabin with his family. He and his sister shared a trundle bed. Dan claimed he was never put to work when he was enslaved (Slavery would be abolished when Dan was seven years old). Dan and his family attended church at Mt. Freedom, where they sat in the gallery. The first African American preacher he heard speak was Leroy Estill at the Freedom Meeting House, a Baptist church.
