Howdy pat! I have a sister by that name. Anyway,It seems that Claus is father to Peter (my ancestor),jacob,& 8 more who hale from what we call east Germany. Peter came over on the "pink John & william" in 1734,Jacob on the "Mortonhouse" in 1728...both bringing their families. They owned most of 3 counties in WVA...Webster,Braxton,& one other. This dwindled over time to "Cogar Mountain",which is where Corley WVA is located. 4WD country,that. Bring a Rifle as well,cougar & bear about. Family cemetary is on top by my aunt Lily's house,all old timers buried here-the Apache chief as well. Len Cogar

Len,this is my husbands' line and another cuz is working on it, and I am just helping. A researcher did send me the Claus Koger history, but we have not been able to find the link to connect Levi Koger,b 1872 in Al. My husbands' bro is Leonard Leroy ,not a family name,he was named for the local bookie in Chattanooga..lol

Hello ya might not be able to get there. Cogar Mountain was sold a few years back. Don't know who bought it.

Dang, I'd hoped it'd stay in the family. I'd hate to see what's left bulldozed for some commercial reasons. It's about the only thing left of family history I could still touch. I wonder who did buy it? Maybe my cousin Wayne Dean might know?
