    3. History of Preston County West Virginia by Oren F. Morton, 1914 page 430 FOGLESONG Peter - m. (1) Mary Lantz, (2) Mary Fries, (3) Mary Wile, (4) Rachel Fraley page 446 LANTZ Henry - m. Eve Bishoff - c: 5. Mary - b. 1811, d. 1835 - m. Peter Foglesong Peter's obituary in the West Virginia Argus, Kingwood, W. Va., Thursday, August 8, 1895 issue, page 3 column 5 states he was born near the village of Peterstown, Carroll county, Md, that he married in 1830, and the following year, with the family of his father-in-law, the late David H. Fries, emigrated to the German Settlement, in Preston county, W. Va. Peter first appears in the 1832 Preston Co personal property tax list indicating settlement the previous year. Morton states on page 351 that David H. Fries came from Union Bridge, Md., in 1830, and settled midway between Carmel and Amboy and on page 368 that Henry Lantz came from Lancaster county, Pa., in 1801. As the Lantz family was in Preston Co long before Peter Foglesong arrived on the scene, it appears that Morton has the order of Peter's first two wives reversed. Further, he couldn't have married Mary Fries in 1830 if Mary Lantz didn't die until 1835. Morton incorrectly determined that the Mary Foglesong buried in Aurora Cemetery who died Apr. 17, 1835 in the 24th year of her age was Peter's wife Mary Lantz when the evidence indicates she was his wife Mary Fries instead. The Aurora Documents, page 68, reports the birth of Sharlotte Ann Catharine, daughter of Peter Fogelson & wife Mary, on Oct 19, 1843. Does anyone know which Mary (Mary Fries or Mary Wile) was her mother or have any further information on Sharlotte? Thanks. Roy Lockhart
