The original Fogleman ancestor that I am related
to is George Fogleman who came over with the Shoffner
family (my grandmother's family) in the 1700's
on the Ship Shirley which arrived in Philadelphia.

is a picture of my grandfather, John Page Fogleman,
when he was young. The Fogleman and
Shoffner familycame to this country from
the same town in Germany. In fact, Michael Shoffner
I, was married to Margaretha Fogleman (Vogleman)
when he arrived in this country in 1739.
My grandfather's parents were John Tyler Fogleman
and Frances Shoffner Fogleman (pictured below).
There were married during the civil war on December
31, 1863, the following is reported be their wedding

My grandfather used to speak all the time about
gro wing up in a log cabin. He used to take us to
it when I was a child. It was in ruins, but he
used to point and say, that's where I grew up. |
