Isaac Bogan was the son of John and Hannah Jane Griest Bogan. He was born in the old Ninety-Six District, which took in more area than the modern-day Union Co, SC. The exact location is not known to us. Isaac served in the Revolutionary War under Captain Blassingame's Company, Colonel Thomas Brandon of the Union, SC, American militia.

Some 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 Dist, SC. 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.
