Bogen' s record in the Hetrina Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 12:29:35 -0600 I am responding to an archive message by Al Ball and John Merz on Rootsweb of Tue, 24 May 2005 I had searched the Hetrina index volumes at Franklin and Marshall College for Bogen (Bogan) and found only one person with that name - there were three lines in the Hesse-Cassel Vol III. Lines 1350 BOGEN, NICOLAUS 0/0 (HESSEN-DARMSTADT) D FS ERB5 03 9/1778 8814/17 1351 BOGEN, NICOLAUS 0/0 (HESSEN-DARMSTADT) D FS ERB3 13 9/1778 8814/17 1352 BOGEN, NICOLAUS 1756/57 (HESSEN-DARMSTADT) D FS ERB5 16 6/1783 8815/15 According to the key in the Hetrina these mean that Nicolaus Bogen was inducted (03) and transferred (13) into the Prince-Successor Regiment (ERB=Erbprinz) of Hesse Cassel in Sept 1778 His birthday is unceratain being 1756 or 1757 - and place of origin was near Hesse-Darmstadt (D = Federal Republic of Germany) His rank was Assistant Medical Officer (FS = Feldscher) He was separated (16) in America on June 1783 Further research in the Fredrick, MD Historical Society Records indicate that Frederich Nicholas Andraes Bogen supports the description given by Al Ball. Nicolaus died in Carlisle Pennsylvania in 1819. His son John Henry was also a physician and he moved to Crawford County Ohio with his two eldest sons and their families in 1848. The Bogans of Crawford County are descendents of this family. In is interesting to note the son, Joseph L. Bogen was in Indiana somewhere from 1847 to 1853. I have yet to find out where.
