Hi, I just started my ancestry and i'm looking for any info on the FOGLE"S of Noble County Ohio. Elijah Fogle b. 1806 d. 1841 was my 3rd great Grandfather. I don't have much but i'd love to hear from anyone with any info on this family.

Thank you!
Beth Maxwell

Beth,
Are you related in any way to a George B Maxwell that married a Alice Shriver on 15 Sep 1804?

I don't think so. I'm a Maxwell by marraige and we're divorced now. Sorry, i can't help you.

My records show Elijah as Jacobs son, and Elijah was marrried to Nancy Sallie Mayhorn. Heres an artical I found that should be intersting to you


The Fogles were a numerous and respectable family. They were natives of Virginia, but came here from Washington County, Pa. There were three brothers Jacob, Michael and Peter who settled in the same neighborhood. Jacob and Michael came first, and a year or two later Peter settled on the farm where he lived and died. He came about 1818. He was the first Justice of the Peace in the Township, and held the Office about twenty years. He was also an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He died in 1875, at the age of eighty-nine. The Fogle brothers were all married before they came to Ohio. Jacob lived and died in Noble Township. His son Jacob still lives here. He and Mrs. Mary Merry Caldwell, are the only children of Jacob Fogle now living in the County. Michael moved from Noble Township to Enoch and died there. He left no family. Peter Fogle was twice married. His first wife was Elizabeth Salliday, and their children were Mary, Eliza, Sarah and Margaret, all living, the oldest two in this County. For his second wife he married Phebe Stevens. Their children were Rachael (Rucker), who lives on part of the homestead; John, Illinois; Lucretia, Kansas; Anna, Dead; Annary, Vinton County, Ohio; James, Colorado; George, Kentucky and Peter, Caldwell. Peter lived on the farm until 1879, and then engaged in Hotel keeping in Caldwell. Since 1880 he has been in the business of Undertaker and Furniture Dealer in Caldwell, owning a large and fine store. He has a German Bible, printed in 1590, which has been in the Fogle Family nearly three hundred years.

Beth,

Elijah Fogle, is also my 3 great grandfather. Let me know what you are looking for, I have a great deal of information..John

Thanks John. I need all the help i can get. I'm just becoming familiar with this family. I'd like any information you're willing to share. I come from Elijah's son Luther L. and Hannah Graham Fogle. I'm really looking for information on him. I've had quite a bit of help on other Fogle's but not much known about Luther. I'm willing to share anything i might have that you'd like.
Thanks!

John
We may have corresponded before. Always have thought there was some type of link of our Hamilton ancestry with Fogles, but no known link.

Have a Word document of various Fogle inputs. If you would like to see, will be glad to e-mail.

Our gggf John Hamilton was born in Washington County PA ~1815.

The 1850 Morgan County census data for John Hamilton stated:

John Hamilton, age 36, born PA, occupation teamster
Wife, Mary, age 32, born VA(not designated W.VA at that time)
Daughter, Mahala, age 10, born Ohio
Daughter, Anna age 8, born Ohio
Son, John D., age 2, born Ohio
Also in their household:
John G. Fogle, age 24, born Ohio, occupation butcher
Rebecca Fogle, age 18, born VA

Marriage records for Morgan County showed a John Fogle married Rebecca Jane Robinson May 9th 1850. This is of interest since the 1902 obituary stated that Mary Robinson had been previously married and had a daughter Rebecca Robinson. That obituary also said that Mary Robinson had two other daughters, Martha, and a Mrs. King(first name unknown). The obit stated that Mary was 11 years older than John at the time of their marriage.
Rebecca was still in their household in 1860, but not John Fogle.

Also, seems a McKee lived close to Hamiltons in Morgan County.

another piece of data

In the book, Biographical and Historical Memories of Muskingum County Ohio, published 1892, there is reference to John and Rebecca Hamilton Fogle.

In that reference they had a son, John W Fogle, born 15 Nov 1850. It also states that the father, John, died in 1860, and the mother, Rebecca died in 1863.

The book also states their son John Fogle married Jennie Allen. In the 1900 census of Columbus, Franklin Co OH, there are John W Fogle, age 49, wife Jennie, age 45, and daughter age 17. LDS records show Alice Angie Fogle born 1 May 1883 in Salt Creek, Muskingum Co OH.

No info on Elija but some Fogle info, possibly related

The Fogle family in the 1820 census for Morgan Co., Ohio includes Elizabeth Fogle (1742-1822), mother of Jacob, Michael , Peter and John.

Elizabeth’s husband Frederick Michael Fogle died before 1820.

Elizabeth’s maiden name was Kupin and she was born in Fredrick, Md. A

John Fogle, born 6 Dec. 1825, son of Peter, married a Jane McGlachen on 18 Feb. 1847 in Morgan Co., Ohio.

Also, a book on Noble County history states that there were three Fogle brothers who migrated from Pennsylvania to the area in 1818. There were Peter, Jacob, and Michael from Washington County, PA. and were Virginia natives.

Thank you for the information on my Fogle line. This is the correct family...although now i need to fit John W. and Rebecca in there somewhere. I have no idea where they belong yet. But i wanted to thank you for your help!
