Fogleman Newsletter

celebrates ten years by Judie Fogleman Lewis

Technology has changed the way most people receive their information today. Mass media

tools has also expanded the way in which families communicate and it is one reason that we are

going to an electronic Fogleman Newsletter only. While writing of the newsletter will con-

tinue, each newsletter in the future will appear at the official Fogleman website (created and

designed by Lynn Dougherty): http://lynnpdesign.com/foglemanreunion/

The newsletters will no longer be printed or mailed. Copies will be available by request

only with cost of copy, postage and handling by the recipient. Each newsletter located on the

website can be downloaded in a pdf file to your computer or flash drive. You will also be able

to print the newsletter from the website. A proposed date when another newsletter will be

posted should appear in the newsletter/website. There is little doubt that both, the website and

the newsletters, have provided Fogleman researchers with an immeasurable insight into our

heritage, one that has resulted in contact of Fogleman’s in other states and throughout the

World, created queries that led to closure for a long lost cousin, provided a realignment of

those with similar names during the 18th Century with it creating an easier path of footprints

for those looking for their family roots.

A newsletter summary detailing what has appeared in the first five years is shown in the

August 2006, Vol. VI, Issue 1, issue of the paper. As stated in that article, what began as a

family paper documenting a summary of the family reunions became a means of informing

Fogleman descendants about historical information finds. A few subjects that have been cov-

ered during the last five years consist of Foglemans in Virginia, Puzzle Pieces Come To-

gether For the Home Tract, the German Immigration Route, the Historical Marker Pro-

ject and later unveiling in October 2009, and a guest speaker, Dr. Frances Campbell, who

spoke about memories of growing up on a local farm in Alamance County, NC. The

prominent Spoon farm was owned by her grandfather who inherited it from her second hus-

band, Michael Shoffner (whose 2nd wife was Sarah Fogleman, great-granddaughter of George

Fogleman). Dr. Aaron Fogleman’s coverage about the “European Origins of Catherine

Fogleman” appeared in Vol. VIII, Vol. I & II. Facts about various Foglemans, to include:

John Shaddy Fogleman whose descendants moved to Illinois, Eli Fogleman, John Andrew

Fogleman, and an on-going article about Martin Taylor Fogleman. Other articles were Wil-

liam, son of Peter and Hannah Boggs Fogleman by Pam Broughton Andrews; David Low

and Long Hill; the Ward—Fogleman Reunions (in Greenup, Illinois);Vogel—Fogle in PA;

and Another “Went West” family member has been located: Young Anthony who married

Mary “Polly” Fogleman, daughter of Peter.

Family history is very important. Several professionals in the Fogleman family are more

qualified and better educated and are ones who should write the newsletter but when no one

was willing to take on that responsibility, I could not bring an end to the paper. Recent health

issues have caused me to place new priorities on my life but the writings will continue for a

while longer.

Ancestral location in Germany of a few families who came to America by Judie Fogleman Lewis

In 1893, William L. Spoon created a map of Alamance County, North Carolina that included roads, rivers, and the names of the people living in a particular location. The map had come in handy time and time again while trying to determine the location of an early settler. A “light-bulb” moment, so-to-speak, happened and I began searching family histories to learn where families, other than Foglemans, had lived in Germany. We do not actually know, with any sub-stantiation, the location where our Vogleman’s lived in Germany. Several places have been eliminated, i.e., Vogel-mann’s live around Stuttgart and Schwäbisch Hall (E. of Heilbronn); Vogelmann/Muellers live around Ammertsveiler, Neckar, Wuerttemberg, and there is even a Vogelsberg that is north of Erfurt, Germany. And, details about Melchior Vogelmann as found in “Immigration Records: German and Swiss Settlers in America, 1700s-1800s—PA Ger-man Immigrants, 1709-1786, Emigrants from Wuerttemberg: The Adolf Gerber Lists”, page 128, left Mockmühl, Germany in 1749 and settled in Macungie Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The names of the children as well as their ages have caused most researchers to eliminate them for our Hans George Vogelmann/Fogleman lineage. Other works such as “Blackwelder and Allied Families of North Carolina and Illinois” by Rev. D. C. William of Illinois covered Hans Thomas Vogelmann whose son was the above referenced Melchior who married 1) Catherine Elisabetha Hettenbach of Muckmuhl, and 2) Maria Barbara Gramlich. Melchior had three children: 1) John

Molchior (as taken from the book), Jr., b. 2-10-1741 in Mockmuhl; Johan Phillip, b. 10-26-1744; and 3) George Friedrich, b. 1-18-1746. Clyde W. Lord wrote “The Lord and Fogleman Families” - Ellisville, Mississippi in 1974, that covers Dock C. Lord who married Ella Eva Fogleman, eldest daughter of Elijah Louis “Lige” and Irene Montgomery Fogleman. Grandparents of Lige were George and Sarah Hoozers Fogleman who settled in Louisanna. George and son, John, were soldiers in 1812. The family lived on the west bank of Atchafalaya River, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana in 1808-1809. While there may be a connection to the Fogleman’s in North Carolina, none, to date, has been found. They may, however, be connected to Fogleman’s that lived in western North Carolina. In order to authenticate the map locations on page two, the source for each family is as follows: Eislele - Isley: Karlsruhle, Landkris, Germany as found in the "Malachi Isley" book written by Rex Isley and published by the Alamance Co. Genealogical Society, Burlington, NC. Shepherd: Binger Am Rheim, Germany as found in email from Don Shepherd. Spoon - Loffler: Ludwigsburg - Sachsenheim, Germany as found in a genealogy by Doug Spoon. Schaffner - Shofner: Palatinate area or Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany as found in the Shoffner Family Records as pre-pared by Rev. Issac Offman and printed by the Alamance Co. Historical Association, Burlington, NC. Kobel-Coble: Sinsheim - Baden, Germany as found in the "The Coble Family" as prepared by Rev. D. I. Offman and printed by the Alamance Co. Genealogical Society, Burlington, NC. The Adam Reitzel family was found in Nordrhein, Westfalen, Germany-source undetermined at this time. Albrecht’s Castle is located on the Elbe River, Meissen, Germany.

Klopp-Clapp-Lived in Isthe, Hesse, Germany. In 1704/05 moved to Weisenheim am Berg, a small town west of Mannheim in the

Rhineland Palatinate (Pfalz). Also, Klopp Castle in Binger was taken from "Albright, Clapp, Burk Families" by Joseph H

Vance.] - From http://www.laurahenderson.com/genealogy/genweb/ps02_051.html on Notes for Johann Jost "Joseph" KLAPP How is it that genealogies which include a good deal of historical material about Schaffner’s and Vogelmann’s, never provided the physical location of their native home town? Michael Schaffner married Margaretha Vogelmann in Germany and had four children that were born there. “Schaffner” written by Margaret Shoffner DeMoss in 1971, shows “the emigrant, Michael Shoffner, born in Germany, Palatinate area, near Frank-on-the-Main, June 26,1721, died in North Carolina, in a German settlement 10-10-1810. Michael Shoffner married 1751 Margaretha Fogleman b. March 8, 1724, also in the Palatinate of Germany. She was the daughter of George and Catherine Fogleman, who came, on the same ship, to America bringing all his family.” There is every indication that George, Catherine, and two sons, came to the Piedmont section of North Carolina during the 1730s. And, we researchers want to believe that is true. Unfortunately, we have been unable to prove that fact so the search continues.
