I am a descendant of Johann Paulus Vogt who with his family arrived in Philadelphia on the "Charming Betty" out of London, on October 11, 1733. Johann Vogt and his wife Maria Catherina had daughters Catherina Vogt 18 and daughter Maria Vogt 16, sons Andreas Vogt 12, and Kaspar Vogt, 8 (my direct line). My records reveal that when John Paul Vogt died in 1761 at his home near Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley, his will, dated 9 October 1759, mentioned only one daughter, the one who married Christian Clements (Catherina). Out records say that it is assumed that the other daughter died without issue prior to October 1759, the date of John's will. It was stipulated that if any estate remained after all debts were paid, it was to be equally divided between his three children, Catherine Clemmens (sic), Andreas, and Casper Faught. My 4-Great Grandfather, John Gaspar Faught, son of the immigrant Johann Paulus Vogt, would have been 37 years old when his father died in 1761. If anyone has records other than the above, evidence that Maria may have married prior to the death of her father, I would appreciate hearing from you. Patricia L.
