Biography

Andrew is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution as a Patriot Ancestor. ^[1]

Andrew's birth name was Andreas Vogler, but he used the name Andrew Fogle after immigrating to America. Some records also show the surname as Vogel. His place of birth is now part of Südwestpfalz District in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Death Records

● Interred at Grace Rocky Hill Lutheran Church Cemetery, Woodsboro, Frederick County, MD. ^[2]

● Data base, "Pennsylvania and New Jersey, U.S. Church and Town Records, 1669 - 2013" (Andreas Vogler). Event Type: Burial. Birth Date: 19 Jul 1727. Death date: 27 Jul 1786. Burial Date: 29 Jul 1786.

● The actual text in the church record cited here provides additional information: ^[4]

"Jul. 29, 1786, Andreas Vogler was buried, born Jul. 19, 1727, in Hettenhausen. Parents Balthasar Vogler and Anna, nee Trübin. Married Nov. 1753 the daughter Catharina of Jacob Barth, now a widow, with whom he had 6 sons and 3 daughters, of whom 2 sons and 1 daughter died. Died of blockage Jul. 27, at 10:30 p.m., aged 59 years, 8 days."

Last Will and Testament

Andrew executed his last will and testament ^[5] two days before his death in 1786. He bequeathed property to his wife, Susanna Catharine, and to six children, specifically sons Mathias, Philip, Balser (presumably Johann Balthasar), and Henry Fogle, and daughters Catharine Bostian and Susanna Wilson. (There are records of several additional children, but they are not named in Andrew's will, and presumaby pre-deceased him.) Much of the text of the will dispenses household items, crops, cattle, and other farm animals, but the will also addresses tracts of land called Resurvey on Andrews Chance, The Weavers Loom, Rockey Hill Purchase, and land near Israel's Creek. Wife Susanna Catharine and son Philip are named the executors.

Source ^[6] mentions several other tracts of land that Andrew owned at some point, specifically Andrew's Delight and Resurvey of Cooper's Alley, These tracts are not mentioned in the will.

Marriage Record

● "Augustus Evangelical Lutheran Church, Trappe, PA, Record of Marriages Confirmations and Burials ..." Marriage of Vogler, Andreas, and Barthin, Catharina, October 25, 1753, at New Hanover. ^{[7] [6]}

[The church is listed as the oldest unchanged Lutheran church in the U.S. in continuous use by the same congregation, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967. ^[8] It is located in what is now Montgomery County, PA.]

Immigration Records

There are two immigration records for the port of Philadelphia that could apply, both from 1749. There was an Andereas Vogler on the ship Lydia which arrived on 09 Oct and an Andreas Vogel on the ship Christian which arrived on 13 Sep. Both records are shown below.

● "List of Foreigners Imported on the Ship Lydia, Capt. John Randolph, from Rotterdam. Qualified Oct. 13, 1749. ^[9]

Andreas Vogler"

● Introductory text in the applicable List of Arrivals for the Lydia: ^[10]

"[List 142C] At the Court House at Philadelphia, Monday the 19th 8ber 1749.*

"Present: Thos. Lawrence, Esquire, Mayor.

"The Foreigners whose names are underwritten, imported in the Ship Lydia, Capn John Randolph, from Rotterdam, but last from Cowes in England, did this day take the usual :Qualifications to the Government. By the List, 154. Persons. 36 in the List. Wirtemberg, Dourlach, Zweybrecht, Palatinate.

"[Entry]: Andereas (X) Vogler."

[The (X) indicates that Andereas was unable to sign his name so signed with an X.]

[The author notes that the date shown in the text is wrong and should be 9 October, not the 19th.]

● "List of Foreigners Imported in the Ship Christian, Captain Thomas Brady, from Rotterdam, Qualified Sept. 13, 1749. ^[11]

Andreas Vogel"

● Introductory text in the applicable List of Arrivals for the Christian: ^[12]

"[List 130C] At the Court House at Philadelphia, Wednesday the 13th 7ber 1749.

"Present: Joshua Maddox, Esquire.

"The Foreigners whose names are underwritten, imported in the Ship Christian, Captn Thomas Brady, from Rotterdam, but last from Cowes in England, did this day take the usual Oaths to the Government. By List, 111. In all [300] [persons] from Wirtemberg, Alsace, Zweybrecht.

"[Entry]: Andreas Vogel."

[At the time Andreas came to Philadelphia, arriving male immigrants over the age of 16 were required to take an oath of allegiance to King George the Second of Great Britain and the Province of Pennsylvania. Sources ^[9] and ^[10] confirm the immigration data and the information about the oath.]

[Research Note: Source ^[6] includes the following statement [edited for brevity]:

"For some time, it was thought that young Andreas left his homeland in late 1748 or early 1749 and booked passage on the Ship CHRISTIAN ... However, after further consideration it appears that our Andreas may have arrived ... in the ship LYDIA ... Here, again, we find Andereas Vogler, this time the (X) appears which means he did not sign his name but made his mark. It is very interesting to note that appearing on the ship's roster are several men, BARTH AND BASTION, possible relatives of his future wife, as well as a Georg Vogler, whose relationship, if any, has not been established."

The author, unfortunately, does not provide the rationale for his conclusion. It presumably relates, at least in part, to the observation that the passenger list for the Lydia included some likely relatives of Andreas' future wife Susanna Catharina. Another possible factor is that there may be a record of a later land transaction involving Andreas for which he signed his name as an 'X'. It should also be noted that the signature block on Andrew's last will and testament discussed above ^[5] has a circled 'X' between his first and last names and the words "his" and "mark" above and below the name respectively. These factors seem to lend some credibility to the speculation that Andrew was the immigrant who signed his oath of allegiance with a mark.]

Miscellaneous

● Text from Source: ^[6]:

"In April 1761, Andrew and his brother in law, Peter Barth, became naturalized citizens of colonial Maryland appearing before Pastor Gerlock of the Lutheran Church at Frederick Town and three witnesses."

[Research Note: Apparently naturalizations in the colonial period in Maryland were not common, since most immigrants came from the British Isles and were not classified as foreigners. We did not find a record of Andrew's naturalization, but the most likely source for pre-1795 naturalizations would probably be the publication "Wyand, Jeffrey A., and Florence L. Wyand, "Colonial Maryland Naturalizations," Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, MD, 1975".]

● Additional unsourced text from Source: ^[6]:

"Andrew signed an oath of allegiance and fidelity to the State of Maryland and the cause of freedom after the law was enacted 5 Feb 1777. On 3 Jun 1780 he loaned $400 to the State of Maryland and was repaid on 13 Mar 1782 with 6% interest. It is the opinion of this writer that these two acts qualified his descendants to become members of the Sons of the American Revolution."
