BOOK REVIEW

Records of St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover, Pennsylvania 1741-1831, Translated with an introduction by Frederick S. Weiser, Picton Press, Camden, Maine, 1994. 280 pages, indexed. Available from Picton Press, P.O. Box 1111, Camden, ME 04843-1111.

This book contains, in its index, reference to Anna Barbara Reblogel, Barbara (Konigin) Reblogel and Rheinhardt Reblogel. For Anna Barbara there is a marriage record: "Jacob Schreyer and Anna Barbara Reblogelin, both single, August 27, 1764." They were married by Carl Friedrich Wildbahn (Charles Frederick Wildbahn in English spelling). For Barbara Konig and Rinehart there is a marriage record: "Rheinhardt Reblogel and Barbara Konigin, October 8, 1753." They were married by Johann Georg Bager (or Baugher) (John George Bager in English spelling). Rheinhardt (11) is the immigrant ancestor, b. 8 Dec 1720 at Soultz Sous Forets, Alsace, and immigrating between 1751 and 1753. It is possible Anna Barbara was a daughter of John Rinehart by his first marriage, to Anna Maria Erhard, in 1749 at Alsace. If she was born in or about 1749 this would give Anna Barbara an age of about 15 at the time of her marriage to Jacob Schreyer; early but not impossible.

An interesting four page introduction is included, which I won't get into here.

Thanks to Madeline Raymond for providing me with a copy of this book to keep with my files.

A VISIT TO ALSACE

A letter dated 22 September 1984 from EDITH MADELINE REPLOGLE RAYMOND (112:223:71, see RRGN Winter 1993, p. 3 [Snyder graveyard] and Spring 1994, p. 1 [Age of Maria Barbara Koenig]) to REV. JACOB F. REPLOGLE (114:4C9:4, Jacob Frederick Replogle / Archie Van Dyke / Levi Brumbaugh / Daniel Brown / Rinehart / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?):

"Your bibliography (which is most enjoyable to read, and which I and my sister enjoyed thoroughly) has now been in Soultz Sous Forets even if you have not been. I was surprised with France (Alsace)! It is lovely country, good roads, and the land has not been abused ... there are many, many trees, and not near as many homes as I had thought. I might add that all homes look newly painted, and do not have junk around them. Almost all homes and other buildings are stucco with red tile roofs.

Information on Soultz Sous Forets in a travel booklet I have says: '1877 inhabitants - Railway station. 15th and 18th century protestant church. Tombstones of the Lords of Fleckenstein. Nearby: Hohwiller, the picturesque villages of Hunspach and Overseebach. Pathways through the mountains ... '

I think we found our church in Soultz Sous Forets. No one was in it, Sunday noon, with bells ringing -- it was open. It was large and well kept. The lineage and history of the Fleckenstein family was on the wall (real old yellow paper, containing names going back to 15th century) ... and one of the lightly-stained glass windows was dated 1526. My brother-in-law took pictures of the church and whenever I receive them I will send copies on to you.

The entire town of Soultz Sous Forets, like most of the homes we saw in Europe, appeared to be newly painted. A beautiful little town.

We had a driver hired who was to speak English. Our man spoke seven languages -- English slightly, but he was very bright and talked to people then acted accordingly. The oldest cemetery we found was too young for our people. I was really impressed with it. Growing, blooming flowers, and cut flowers, were on every grave. Another side of the cemetery, separated by a hedge, was a Jewish cemetery -- these graves did not have the flowers on them.

Our driver took us to a restaurant which did not look like much on the outside, and turned out to have the best food we had on the trip. He also located in the restaurant a lady who spoke English quite well; her name was Beatrice Logel and she lives in Strasbourg and visits her mother, aged 89, once a week in Soultz Sous Forets. Beatrice called an old school teacher to see if she had ever heard our name Reblogel, but it was unknown to her. Beatrice also said a man, Mr. Woolf, is in process of writing a history or genealogy of early families and times in Soultz Sous Forets.

I am going to make three copies of pertinent material from the Replogle genealogy and send to her; one copy for her, one for the Lutheran Minister, and one for Mr. Woolf. While I doubt that we will find out much more about our family there ... we might find out our Reblogel's wife's surname.

While I had heard people talk about jet lag from a trip, I did not realize just what it meant, but do now. I was very glad to be back in the United States. I cannot say I am a traveler, and am sure I will never go overseas again."

MEMOIRS OF MARY BRICKER, WRITTEN WHEN NEARING HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

Part of a letter from MARY BRICKER (ID 11E:774, Mary E. Bricker / Hannah R. Replogle / Samuel B. / Peter / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?) to JUSTIN REPLOGLE (ID 11E:794:1) Justin wrote a cover letter:

Here's an excerpt from a letter I received from Mary Bricker last spring. As the keeper of Replogliana I think you should have it in your files. At the time she wrote it Mary was a couple months away from her 100th birthday. As a longtime writing teacher I am very impressed by her narrative skills, treatment of details, sense of pace etc. If only she had written a book about her ancestors. This excerpt is only about 20% of the whole letter. What I wouldn't give to find several documents like this written by earlier Replogles. They seem to have been a very unreflective bunch.

The Replogles mentioned in this account are all from the 11E Peter Replogle line. Samuel is 11E:7. Then there are Samuel's children 11E:77 Hannah, 11E:74 Abraham, 11E:76 Joseph and 11E:79 William. 11E:774 Mary Bricker (b July 20, 1893) is Hannah's daughter ...

Justin Replogle."

"Part of a letter from Mary Bricker to Justin Replogle, Spring 1993:

"In 1875 Samuel and Barbara [Replogle] were living in or near Cerro Gordo, Macon Co., Ill.

In the spring of that year Barbara and seven yr. old son William (I have never known what they called him, "Willie," "Bill" or perhaps "Willliam"?) traveled by Wabash R.R. train to Lafayette, Ind. to visit the oldest daughter, Mary Jane Hufford who lived 16 miles east of Lafayette near Rossville, Ind., a small village. They had 4 small children. They lived on a farm 3 miles north of Rossville. David A., as he was known, was a carpenter and had or at least helped build their barn and house. Both well constructed -- probably the best in the neighborhood.

During the visit, Barbara, my grandmother, became ill. I'm certain the country doctor, Dr. Fisher of Rossville, was consulted. According to my mother the diagnosis was Erysipelas. My dictionary states -- "a febrile disease characterized by inflammation and redness of the skin, mucous membrane." According to my mother, the face was involved. It had to have been an acute, virulent infection. Word was sent to Samuel of the situation. I think this had to be by post -- as there were no telephones, I don't know whether telegrams were in use, if so how could one have been delivered to the farm from Rossville? At any rate the message was received, Samuel and 17 year old daughter Hannah boarded the first available passenger train at Cerro Gordo and traveled to Lafayette, Ind. -- 17 miles from the D.H. Hufford farm. It was early April! Still winter-like in Ind. Cold, wet, etc. The dirt road leading east from Lafayette was partially through swamps -- areas not yet drained -- a part was known as 'corduroy' road. Planks laid side by side thru the swamp! I've no idea as to how well they were clothed for that 17 mile trek. No word of their arrival could have been received. They walked. Years later when visiting with relatives who were friends of my mother, a relative told me that my mother Hannah told her that toward the end of that journey she did not know if she could finish it. She did. As I remember the story, Barbara had died before they arrived.

The burial was in the Dunkard Cemetery southwest of Rossville.

A neighbor living close to the Huffords had helped in caring for Barbara. The terms, "bacteria, infection," etc. had never been heard, hence protective measures were unknown. One can imagine the distress this added to the grief over Barbara's death. All must have been very confusing to 7 year old William, even after his father and Hannah arrived.

You and I can imagine what followed. The questions? Samuel, Hannah and most of all William. Did they have a family council? Today we would probably call it that or did Samuel and David A. make the decisions as to how to proceed? We will never know.

This is what took place -- Samuel returned to his home in Illinois. He was a farmer -- at least they raised some animals. Hannah had raised a calf. I assume Samuel decided to move back to Osceola, Missouri, where the family had lived a short time earlier. There were friends and relatives living there.

Back in Indiana Hannah had met John Bricker. She never told me any of those details. In November, 1875 they were married.

In 1865 the Benjamin Bricker family left the Chambersburg, Pennsylvania community because the Civil War was still active in that area. Life was very difficult. Benjamin owned several valuable horses. To protect them from the roving soldiers -- in that area both Union and Confederate soldiers raided the countryside -- so he took his horses to a nearby mountain range for protection. This left his wife and children without protection. He had an opportunity to sell the farm for cash. 'Granny,' as they called his wife Elizabeth, carried the cash from the sale in her dress pockets to Indiana. They were Dunkards who dressed 'plainly.' The Dunkard women's dresses were plain; a form fitting blouse attached to a floor length, full skirt. Between the gores on either side were large pockets.

Relatives (the Latshaws) had migrated a few years earlier from Franklin, Lancaster and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania to Clinton and Carroll Counties, Indiana, so the new country was not completely unknown. By that time the railroad had been built westward which was available to them. Benjamin Bricker bought a tract of land just west of the village of Edna Mills, familiar to you. It lay across the road where Frank Replogle and William Replogle lived, which you remember. I have a copy of the deed but can't recall the exact number of acres, but it was sizable. Later he bought more acres bordering the east line. On those acres were buildings -- house and barn. When John and Hannah married they began married life together on that farm.

I cannot remember hearing my mother say how soon brother Will joined them. My guess is that it likely was quite soon. Hannah was his substitute mother. He attended the country school close by.

The mother of a family in the neighborhood died. There were several young children left in the care of the father. Eventually the home was broken. I'm assuming that the father was unable to provide adequate care. The details I do not know, only this one -- among the children was a young boy the age of William Replogle. These boys played together and were friends. My parents offered their home to John Billheimer as a companion for William. As to the length of that arrangement, I'm not certain, but I think it must have lasted until those boys were old enough to 'work out,' the expression used. Both boys and girls were hired out to work. There was no other work for teenagers in the rural midwest. By the time John and William were 15 or 16 they were employed full time on a farm close by in the Edna Mills community. They probably were paid $2 or $3 per week.

I remember my mother saying that she 'worked out' doing house work at $1 per week. This was in Illinois. I don't think she ever worked outside her sister Mary's home from the time of their mother Barbara until she married. I'm certain that the Bricker home was William's home throughout his teen years until his marriage. There remained a close family bond between the William Replogle family and the Brickers. I cherish these memories.

I'm certain William never saw his father again after the Indiana experience. Samuel moved back to Osceola and there is no record to my knowledge that he returned to Illinois or Indiana.

Uncle Joe Replogle continued to live in the Cerro Gordo area the remainder of his 97 years. If uncle Abe Replogle returned to Illinois with the family, he returned to Osceola, Missouri for the remainder of his life -- 97 years. He married his cousin Katie (Cripe)."

JUSTIN'S COLUMN

(JUSTIN REPLOGLE, of 7925 Kaehlers Mill Rd., Cedarburg, WI 53012, ID 11E:794:1, is a retired professor. He contributes regularly to RRGN.)

Another founder of the extended Replogle family was Jacob Cripe (Greib). As far as I know all the Cripes and Gripes in America descend from him. If so they descend from Elizabeth Ulrich too. He married her about 1740. Their son married a Rinehart Replogle daughter, uniting Cripe, Ulrich and Replogle genes. Their daughter married a Shively, joining the Cripe-Ulrich-Shively lines. Then a daughter of this Shively union (Elizabeth) married Rinehart's son Peter Replogle. So by 1805 or thereabouts one line of Rinehart Replogle's descendants carried Cripe-Ulrich genes and another carried the genes of Cripe-Ulrich-Shively. By this time Metzgers had entered the family too. George Metzger's daughters married three of Rinehart Replogle's sons. A fourth son (Peter) had a son who married a Metzger (whose mother was an Ulrich). If this sounds bewildering, it is. The point is: these families became, after two or three generations in America, a kind of clan. They lived in the same communities, moved to new frontiers together, and married each other for more than 100 years.

For example, Henry Metzger (1803-1865) and his wife Susannah Ulrich had six children who married Shivelys; another married a Cripe. My great grandfather, Samuel B. Replogle (born 1820), with a Shively mother, a Cripe grandmother, and an Ulrich great grandmother, married a Metzger. So did his son William, my grandfather. The familiar names shift among the same families: a Replogle daughter marries a Cripe; their daughter marries a Replogle. (In one case three Metzger sisters marry three Metzger men.)

Jacob Cripe (Greib) arrived in Philadelphia Sept. 28, 1832 (George Washington was eight months old) on the ship "Richard and Elizabeth." He was about 20, and the only Cripe on board. His next six years are a blank. If he followed the pattern of most German immigrants (those not indentured) he passed through Germantown, learned what the prospects were, and headed west. West wasn't far away. In 1732 nearly everybody in Pennsylvania lived east of the Susquahanna River, in an arc about 100 miles from Philadelphia. Most of this was very sparsely settled too. A contemporary writer describes Conestoga (only 20 miles from Germantown) as "wilderness." This is the country Germans spread into. Philadelphia itself was controlled by English Quakers.

Jacob Cripe and the Ulrichs may be the first Replogle ancestors to have joined the German Baptist Brethren Church. It was a new sect, and most of its members lived close to Philadelphia. Their first American congregation, in Germantown, only dated from Christmas day 1723. But the church already had gone through a serious split. Just four years before Jacob arrived the more mystical wing had gone off to establish a colony at Ephrata. But Jacob didn't join this branch. Maybe he joined the church in Germantown. Maybe his marriage to Elizabeth Ulrich brought him into it. All of this is conjecture. The fact is he shows up next in 1738, some 80 miles west of Philadelphia, a charter member of the Little Conewago Congregation, along with the Ulrichs, Dierdorffs and Stutesmans. He stayed in this area for another 10 or 12 years at least. In 1743 he obtained a warrant for 150 acres in Manchester Township, Lancaster County. The 1745 survey is in "Conewago township" (probably the same land). He was almost certainly married by now and had started a family. Then about 1750 a number of Brethren families felt it safe to move further west, among them the Shivelys, Ulrichs and Cripes. In 1752 Jacob bought 300 acres in Frederick County, Maryland. I don't know where this property was located. But Stephen Ulrich bought land the same year next to (today's) Clear Springs, and Daniel and John Ulrich settled there too. These were probably all Jacob Cripe's brothers-in-law, and he may have lived near them. No towns had been established here yet. John Hager had already built a stone house in the neighborhood (still standing), but Hagerstown came ten years later. As far as I can tell the only thing resembling a village was Conococheague, a settlement where the creek of that name empties into the Potomac. (Part of Braddock's army crossed the river there in 1755.) This was about nine or ten miles southeast of Stephen Ulrich's farm. In contemporary accounts "Conococheague" often refers to the whole area. So in 1752 Jacob Cripe and his growing family lived somewhere in this locality, along with Stephen Ulrich, Uhli Shively and other ancestors-to-be. Some, of course weren't present yet. The Konigs and Metzgers had arrived in America only the year before, the same year Rinehart Replogle had buried an infant son (and probably a wife) in Alsace. But the clan was drawing together.

In 1753 Jacob Cripe is on record in Frederick Co. as an Overseer of Roads; in 1754 he's Overseer of the Poor. In 1758 he's described as a "cooper." That year he sold 106 acres, and other land transactions place him in the community up through 1764. Now the RRG says that in 1762 his daughter Esther was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. If true this would change the scenario. The big German migration from Frederick County, Maryland to Bedford County, Pennsylvania took place about 1770. If Jacob Cripe went earlier it would be a significant deviation. For one thing it would detach him from the Ulrichs and members of the clan, and it would detach him from the Brethren congregation he seems to belong to. Maybe more important, it would suggest some hint of individuality so universally lacking in these early ancestors, known mostly from land records and children's names. Some writers say a few Brethren families entered Morrisons Cove (Bedford County) in 1755, perhaps the first permanent settlers in the valley. (But they didn't come from the Conococheague.) Living up there was not only dangerous; it was illegal. A 1744 treaty had given land between the Alleghenies and the Ohio River to the Indians. In 1750 to honor this treaty the British had chased squatters out of the Juniata Valley next door and burned their cabins. Then in 1756 an Indian massacre in Morrisons Cove took the lives of unknown numbers of Brethren. Those left almost certainly fled when in 1763 Pontiac's uprising cleared the land of most remaining settlers. It would be interesting to find the Cripes living there in this turbulence, doing something rather odd and very risky. I hope it turns out to be true, but so far I have seen no evidence for it. More likely Jacob Cripe went north after the defeat of Pontiac in 1768, along with almost everybody else. That triggered a mass migration over the mountains. The Replogles, Metzgers, Shivelys, Ulrichs were part of it. All of them went to Morrisons Cove. Jacob Cripe was there too by 1776 -- the year revolutionaries in Philadelphia signed the Declaration of Independence. The next year, as a non-resident, he sold 455 acres back in Frederick County, Maryland. All this suggests the family had recently moved north, had decided to stay, and was selling off Maryland holdings. It's worth noting the size of this acreage. In 1743 Jacob bought 150 acres in Lancaster County, in 1752 300 acres in Frederick County. By 1784 he's taxed for 900 acres in Frankstown Township (in the Morrisons Cove area). That's the familiar pattern: buy land cheap on the frontier, wait until it appreciates, then move to the next frontier.

By the late 1770s Cripes, Replogles, Ulrichs, Shivelys, and Metzgers all lived near each other in Morrisons Cove (or nearby) and our ancestry was well under way. Jacob Cripe's son Daniel married Barbara Replogle (1775), his daughter Susannah married Christian Shively, and his other children had married into the families of Shidler, Nesbett, Rench, Martin, Wise and Wolf. Jacob's will in 1779 divided 850 acres among his children and grandchildren, plus cash, horses and cooper's tools. His wife got lifetime use of half the land, buildings, a mare, and the "horned cattle." He died in 1801. He'd been in America for 68 years, and had lived on three frontiers. In 1802 his wife Elizabeth Ulrich relinquished executorship of the estate, signing with a mark. That same year a list of 99 free males over 20 in a single township of southern Ohio (O Banon) included the names Metsger, Shively, Replogle and Cripe. The family had moved on.

(I am indebted to Carol Boyer of Denver, Colorado for many of these facts.)

Note: I hope readers will add information about these and other ancestors and events (and correct errors).

Next: The Metzgers and Shivelys will conclude this series on "The Founders."

MORE ON JOHN RINEHART REPLOGLE IN COLERAINE TOWNSHIP, BEDFORD CO. PA.

Last time, Justin Replogle commented on John Rinehart's residence at Coleraine Township, Bedford County, Pa. I found this in a 1936 letter written by Arnold M. Replogle: "In 1914, I consulted the tax assessments in Bedford County. Fortunately, they are in the Bedford County Court House and are very complete. They show that Rinehart Replogle lived first in Frankstown Township, which in the early days included Morrison's Cove, from 1776 to 1783, except in the years 1777 and 1778 when he lived in Coleraine Township; this was Friend's Cove and probably meant that his family took refuge from Indian raids back of the guns of Fort Bedford. Then about 1788 another Rinehart Replogle and Adam Replogle appear on the assessment rolls in Woodbury Township (this was apparently all of Morrison's Cove). Two Rinehart Replogles continue until he disappears in 1814." This analysis agrees substantially with the timeline given in RRG, p. 7. John Rinehart's movements were rather complex and difficult to determine from the scanty evidence. It appears he moved from Frederick County, Maryland to Frankstown Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania between 1774 and 1776. He sold his land in Frederick County in 1774 but starts paying taxes in Frankstown Township in 1776. Where was he in the interim?

WHO IS THIS REPLOGLE-REPROGLE?

(Each issue of the newsletter will feature an "unknown" whose family identity needs to be established.)

From Index to Ohio Tax Lists, 1800-1810, by Jackson, p. 339 (sent to me by Zelda Dubel):

"Rephleogle, Jacob - Belmont Co., 012, no township listed, taxed 1806." This is probably not Jacob Replogle Sr. 119 since he was at Montgomery Co. Ohio; and his son, Jacob Replogle Jr. 119:5 was b. 1800 so too young to be paying taxes. Belmont County is on the Ohio River; why did he decide to stop there on the journey west?

LETTERS

From NANCY ANN HARTMAN of P.O. Box 74, Rising City, NE 68658 (ID unknown) a letter dated February 1994: "I do have the Replogle name in a branch of the family that I have been unable to learn much about.

Elmer Miller, b. 1864, d. 1939 Chickasaw Co., IA, son of Levi Miller and Sarah Ogg and his wife May Muir, b. 1866, d. 1857 Fredricksburg, Chickasaw Co., IA, had ch.: 1. Martha, m. C. Dutcher; 2. Fern, m. 1st MARTIN REPLOGLE and had ch Charles and Mary, m. 2nd Lawrence Weibly; 3. Lloyd, b. 1888, d. 1904. Levi parents were William Miller and Catherine Hart. William was son of Jonas Miller. The fam came from Ohio to Freeport, IL, then to Waukon, IA area."

MICHELLE J. TAUNTON of 1805 Crystal Dr., #903, Arlington, VA 22202 has a friend STEVEN FLOYD MAYS (ID 122:652:612, Steven Floyd Mays / Floyd Lee Mays / William Vernon Mays / Edgar Jackson Mays / Katherine Elizabeth Tardy Mays Green / Sarah Virginia Replogle Tardy / Jacob Replogle Sr. / Balzer (Johann Balthasar) / Balthasar / ?) wrote in March, 1994 and sent much data on Steve's line back to Sarah Virginia Replogle. There appears to be some doubt by at least one researcher that Jacob Replogle m. "a Coon" (Sarah Coon). In a letter dated 15 February 1984 Madeline Raymond noted that "it seems to me that Maxine Kopp, 38270 S.E. Coupland Road, Estacada, OR 97023, had good reason to feel that Balzer's son did not marry a Coon." But Michelle pointed out a marriage book, Rockbridge Co., Virginia Marriages 1778-1850, compiled by Dorthie Kirkpatrick and Edwin Kirkpatrick, indicates that Jacob Repologle m. Sarah Coon, dau of Adam, deceased, and Catherine Coon. Previously Sarah was believed to be the dau of John Coon. Michelle writes: "If Adam was really Sarah's father, but he had died before Sarah married, maybe John Coon was one of Adam's brothers or some other relation."

CLARENCE WATKINS (RRGN Winter 1993 p. 3 and Summer 1993 p. 3) sent excellent data prepared by RIVERS BYFORD (112:363:51, Leslie Rivers Harris Byford / James Grady Harris / James Columbus Harris / Nancy Ann Replogle Harris / Frederick M. Replogle / John Philip / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?). In a letter of March 1994 Clarence wrote: "I called Rivers Byford last week and she agreed to send me a copy of her research on the family of Nancy Ann Replogle Harris (112:36). Unfortunately she only researched her direct line, paying little attention to the brothers and sisters of her James Columbus Harris ... Barby Ladd got her interested in doing her family tree. This at least gives us a complete list of Nancy Ann's children."

CATHERINE ("KAY") JOHNSON REPLOGLE of 27629 Kingsgate Way, Farmington, MI 48334-3614 has sent family data for her husband WILBER D. REPLOGLE (114:313:32, Wilber D. Replogle / John Raeburn / Jacob Zook / David Long / Rinehart / Rinehart / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?). She writes Wilber "was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Johnstown, Pa. when he was very young. His parents came from Johnstown. Later they moved to Detroit, Mich."

I heard from RON REPLOGLE of 7042 County Rd. 2, Swanton, OH 43558-9536 and his wife Onalee in March, 1994 (112:255:412, Ronald Bernell Replogle / Ward Burnell / Cecil Leroy / Philip William, Jr. / Philip William / Philip / John Philip / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?). They sent family group sheets for their Replogle line. Leroy C. Replogle was listed in 1984 RRG, but they write " ... documents, grave marker etc. show Leroy C. however birth records including birth certificate show the correct name" as being Cecil Leroy ... Roy's only living son is 90 years of age. This winter he has had several heart attacks ... he has outlived most relatives and all class mates, both high school and college."

From KATHRYN DAVIDSON of 25680 Aravcana St., Hemet, CA 92544 (112:417:43, Kathryn Mae Replogle Elliott Davidson / Elmer George Replogle / George Negley / John / John Henry / John Philip / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ?) dated March 1994, data on the descendants of George Negley Replogle. She writes, "Replogle being a rather odd name seems to show up everywhere we go. In our Riverside County (Calif.) there is a deputy D.A. named John Replogle. We've never met or talked to him even though he did graduate from University of California Riverside in 1971 with our daughter, Judith A. Davidson. They were both elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the same time."

From JOSEPHINE REED (RRGN Winter 1994, p. 8) a March 1994 letter with more information on the Booher and Crull families. Also, information found with the surname Replogle and extracted from Early Settlers of Montgomery Co., Ohio, Vol. 3, in the era 1810-1820. Marriages & divorce records section: Those marriages named were Margaret Replogel (119:1) and John William Greseman, Betty Replogel (U-154 unknown) and Peter Fogle, Rinehart Replogle (119:2) and Betsy Miller, John Replogel (11C:7) and Barbara Wert, Catherine Replogle (11A:A) and John Smith, Lavina Replogle (119:8) and Henry Ott.

In the same book, in the section Land Records & Tax Lists: Jacob Replogel and Elizabeth Replogel (119 and spouse), Adam Replogel (116).
