PUBLISHING REVISED EDITION OF THE REPLOGLE - REPROGLE GENEALOGY
This book was originally published in 1984. I now plan to publish a revised edition of it in September, 1995 in time for ordering it as a gift for Christmas, 1995.
I have established a cut-off date for submission of data to be used in the revised edition. The cut-off date for such data is 30 June 1995. Hopefully, this will allow enough time to print the book and have it ready by September 1995.
I have printed on my computer a preliminary draft of the revised edition, using the "Descendants Report" option of Family Roots. It runs to about 730 pages including an index to names which is about 240 pages. The final revised edition may be somewhat longer due to a computer problem. A Xerox copy of the preliminary draft costs $25.00 to copy and comb bind, with covers, at the "Office 1 Superstore" store down the road from our place. I have started investigating printing of the revised edition.
The Founders - Part 3
By Justin Replogle
(This is the third and last part of a series by Justin Replogle of 7925 Kaehlers Mill Rd., Cedarburg, WI 53012. It is concerned with the Metzger and Shively families. Part 1 of the series [Ulrich family] appeared in the Spring, 1994 issue of RRGN and Part 2 of the series [Cripe family] appeared in the Summer, 1994 issue of RRGN. These four families intermarried with the Replogle family in the 1700s at Maryland and Pennsylvania.)
Christian Shively
Elizabeth Shively married Rinehart Replogle's son Peter about 1802 This joined the two lines for the first, but not the last, time.. Shivelys married into many Brethren families, and their genes come to the Replogles from various directions. For instance, I am descended from Shivelys through the Metzger line as well as through Peter Replogle. Shivelys and Metzgers in fact seemed to have special fondness for each other. For instance the immigrant John Valentine Metzger had two sons (both with Ulrich wives) six of whose offspring married Shivelys (four married Ulrichs, one a Cripe and one a Replogle with a Shively mother.).
All these Shivelys descend from Christian Shively (c1685-?) and Barbara Spitler who left Switzerland on April 8 1736 and arrived in Philadelphia four months later. (Note 1.) Seven of their 13 children came with them. Of these, Ulrich (Uhli) was the one destined to become a Replogle ancestor. He was born in Oberdorf, Switzerland in 1722, so was 14 when he got off the boat . Just surviving the trip was an immigrant child's first achievement. Two years after Uhli arrived a committee of 14 Pennsylvania Germans sent ship-board statistics back home to dampen the enthusiasm of prospective emigrants.. On one voyage, they claimed, two thirds of the passengers had died at sea. Another vessel lost about 240 of its original 300 passengers. Children fared worst, they reported. One ship lost 90, another 104, another 180. (Note .) In 1745 Christian Shively took out a patent on 317 acres near Cocalico Creek in Warwicke Twp., Lancaster. That's in the general area of today's' Ephrata and Lititz. It's likely but not certain that Uhli lived nearby. He was now about 23 years old, and almost certainly married. (His first child, also named Christian, was born about this time). It's worth remembering that Jacob Cripe and the Ulrichs lived near Hanover at this period. That's about 60 or 70 miles from the Shively homestead. There's no evidence the families were acquainted. But they soon would be, brought together almost certainly by that rapidly expanding new sect, The German Baptist Brethren. Jacob Cripe and the Ulrichs helped found the Little Connewago Church in 1738. Ten years later, on March 6, 1748 "Ulrich Schiebly" joined the Conestoga Congregation (Note .) Almost certainly he was the first Brethren Shively. It's unlikely his parents belonged to this sect. The Brethren insisted on adult baptism, but Uhli was now 27, a late age for children of a Brethren family to enter the church. No record of other Brethren Shivelys have been reported in this generation either. Uhli's sister Catherine, in fact, joined the Moravian church about the same time (Feb. 3 1749) And a brother (Christian) moved to northern PA and doesn't enter the picture again. This suggests a family free to make independent religious decisions. In any case several years later Uhli followed a Brethren group to Frederick Co., MD. Now the Cripes and Ulrichs were his neighbors, and the next 20 years brought other German families that became the extended Replogle clan..
Uhli Shively, Jacob Cripe and Stephen Ulrich each bought land in Frederick Co., MD the same year--1752. The Ulrichs settled near today's Clear Spring, west of Hagerstown, Uhli bought 200 acres about 10 miles east of Hagerstown, close to Beaver Creek, near today's Mount Aetna. As I have said before, I don't know where the Cripes lived. But close enough for courting, because Uhli's son Christian married Jacob Cripe's daughter Susannah about 1766. Since Jacob Cripe was already married to Stephen Ulrich's sister Elizabeth, this united the three families for the first time. (Uhli's son Jacob is thought to have married an Ulrich too.) If they hadn't known each other before they did now, and their genes would flow back and forth through numerous intermarriages for many generations. Uhli lived out his life in the Hagerstown area, but six of his seven children, following the familiar pattern, moved on. At least two of these (and probably more) first went to the Morrisons Cove area during the big post -1770 exodus. One of them, another Christian (there are many), is the direct Replogle ancestor. Elizabeth Lane in her Shively genealogy calls this man (b. c 1745), Christian Shively Sr., so I will too. Just when he moved to Morrisons Cove is not known. As late as 1777 he and his brother Jacob sold some Frederick Co. property called "Three Friends." Where Christian Sr. went next is uncertain. But in 1787 he bought land from John Cripe in Frankstown Twp. ( the Morrisons Cove area). This 250 acre piece, plus five horses and five head of cattle, was later assessed for 195 pounds. (Note .) Ten years before "Three Friends" had sold for 1000 pounds. Like many others, Christian seemed to have had a keen sense for land speculation.. George Andrews says that between May 6 and May 14 1807 Christian sold eight tracts of land in Frankstown Twp. (Note .) This sounds like he was raising cash for the next big leap west. But maybe he had already gone. According to Elizabeth Lane he left for OH in 1805, taking a flatboat to Cincinnati, and a wagon up the Great Miami River to Montgomery Co. Whatever the departure date, Christian was in Montgomery Co. by 1807. He bought at least three pieces of property that year in three different sections. The next year his son Daniel bought one too. (Note .) Apparently the whole family went to OH. (At least two sons were married already; one had seven children.). Did daughter Elizabeth and husband Peter Replogle go at this time too? An 1882 History of Montgomery Co. implies that he did. This source claims Christian and seven children (all married except John) arrived in Montgomery County in 1805. The children are named, including Elizabeth. (Note .) In 1807 Christian purchased two properties in Jefferson Twp. and one in Jackson. In 1809 he purchased another plot in Jefferson Twp. (Note .) Both these townships adjoin Perry Twp., where Peter Replogle bought land in 1814 (only three miles from his father-in-law's 1809 piece). (Note .) In 1805 Elizabeth was 23, Peter 21. They had been married for two or three years. Maybe this young couple with a growing family lived on some of Christian's land until they could purchase their own.
Christian's extended family contained the familiar names. Three of his children married Ulrichs, two married Cripes.. (Son Christian Jr. even married a first cousin with the same name as his mother, Susannah Cripe). Christian Sr. and three of his children lived out their lives in Montgomery Co. He died about 1834, surviving just long enough to witness the next big migration. Elizabeth and Peter Replogle went early, with their nine children. In 1828 they moved to the wilderness of Carroll Co. IN. (Two of Elizabeth's brothers eventually moved there too,) And this wasn't the last stop. About 1856 Peter and Elizabeth moved on once again, this time to Macon Co. IL. Peter died there in 1861, Elizabeth in 1865 By this time, of course, their children had long since married, four to Cripes, one to an Ulrich, and one to a Metzger. One who married a Cripe the first time married a Shively the second. The clan was intact.
Metzgers
Many Replogles have Metzger ancestors. George and John Valentine Metzger (sons of John Adam Metzger and Maria Katherine Scherer) arrived in America about 1758--a generation or more after the Ulrichs and Jacob Cripe. John V was born about 1743, George perhaps later. I have found little about their early years. One account says they landed in Baltimore, but that is unverified. Another claims John and his wife were indentured (also unverified). (Note .) In 1770, Martin Brumbaugh says, (Note ) a Jacob Metzger and wife were members of Great Swatara Congregation of the German Baptist Brethren Church. But it’s not clear who this Jacob was. (Another immigrant brother?) Most sources say George and John V had three sisters, but there is no record of them emigrating to America. The first useful fact is that in 1768 Stephen Ulrich sold 40 acres of his Good Neighbor farm in Frederick Co., MD to a John Metsker. (Note .) Was this John Valentine? In that year John V was about 25 years old; apparently he married early since he had at least one child by 1761. It’s not unlikely that the Metzger brothers were in Frederick Co., MD by 1768. Many Germans had been there since 1752, including families Metzger children later married into. And a small holding of 40 acres might suggest a young man just getting started. It’s also true that George Metzger married into the Brumbaugh family, and the Brumbaughs lived in Frederick Co., MD as early as the 1750s. Not that these early dates are crucial. Later on all these families obviously were neighbors and friends. The question is: did they know each other in Frederick Co., MD, or only later in Woodbury Twp., Bedford Co., PA?
Three of George Metzgers daughters married sons of Rinehart Replogle. No marriage dates or places are known, but all these people undoubtedly lived in or near Morrisons Cove, and a marriage date of about 1800 is a reasonable guess. Not much seems to be known about George—or at least I haven’t seen much information. (I would certainly like to hear from readers who have.) It is known that his wife was Anna Louisa Juliana Brumbaugh, that they lived in the Cove area, that they had at least eight children, and that their daughters Margaret, Lovina, and Susannah married John, Adam, and Daniel Replogle. Some Replogles and Metzgers joined the German Baptist Brethren Church about this time, and it would be interesting to know the details, since this act seems to have influenced later marriages and migrations. Both Brethren and non-Brethren descendants moved around the country more or less together for several generations. But there seems to be a difference. For instance, the children of Peter Replogle (a Brethren) married four Cripes, an Ulrich and a Foutz. Peter’s sister Barbara (also a Brethren) married a Cripe, and three and four generations later her descendants were still marrying families of Ulrichs, Metzgers, Shivelys, and Cripes. There’s no record that the children of Adam, Daniel and John Replogle married into any of these families. Their spouses had names like Keller, Keever, Wilson, Carpenter, Justice, Wert, Flynn, Smith. This is not the place to pursue this topic, but it is worth pursuing. Brethren Metzgers and Replogles appear tightly attached, living in the same community, marrying each other and into the same families. Non-Brethren Replogles have a different pattern. So do non-Brethren Metzgers. George's descendants differ from John Valentine's.
More is known about John Valentine. In 1785 he and wife Catherine (last name unknown) bought property at the top of Morrisons Cove, between Fredericksburg and Tussey Mountain, near the present village of Clover Creek. This very year the area had been named Woodbury Twp., a plat that included all of Morrisons Cove. Settlers had first arrived here 40 years earlier, temporarily at least, but in 1785 the countryside was still sparsely settled. The nearby town of Holidaysburg, for instance, was not laid out until the next year, (Note ) and in 1789 the entire township of Woodbury had only 118 residents. (Note .) One of them was Rinehart Replogle, who that year was in the local militia, along with sons Adam and John. (Note .) Other families that became part of Replogle history were there too: Brumbaugh, Cripe, Shively, Snider, Ulrich, Waggoner, etc. They belonged to a thriving community of German Baptist Brethren. 1789 was momentous for other reasons too. In that year George Washington was elected president. It would be interesting to know what the new United States citizens living along Clover Creek thought of that.
If John Valentine Metzger had really started life in America as a bond servant, by 1789 things had greatly improved. That year he was taxed for 200 acres, three horses, and six cows. For the next 18 years he lived at the foot of Tussey Mountain, watching the population grow, and his grandchildren multiply. Two of his sons married Ulrichs. Three of his daughters married into the prosperous Brumbaugh family ( Jacob Brumbaugh owned more than 6000 acres when he died in 1799). (Note .) In December 1793 John Valentine sold two properties (totaling 141 acres) near Clover Creek to George Brumbaugh (his son-in-law). (Note .) But he stayed on what was left of his farm, and wrote his will in 1806, The will records amounts previously given to nine children (one already deceased) calculated to the penny. John Jr., for instance, had already received 137 pounds and nine pence, Andrew (the youngest) nothing. The will tried to even things out. (Note .) In 1807 John Valentine died and was buried on his farm. He had lived in America for about 50 years and had more than 60 grandchildren. He had seen America expand enormously, both in population and settled land. Before 1769 only a handful of white people lived west of the Alleghenies. By 1774, it is estimated, there were 50,000. (Note .) Pittsburgh had 149 citizens in 1769 ( in addition to soldiers), and the first white man had been allowed to settle just east of there, at Bushy Run, as recently as 1761. (Note .) In 1763 only 14 families were reported living along Forbes road between Pittsburgh and Ligonier. By 1790 the Ligonier area had a population of more than 14,000. (Note .) In 1773 Bedford, just east of Ligonier on the Forbes road, had 20 families. In 1790 the population of Bedford county was 13,124. (Note .) The whole of southwestern PA had grown from a few hundred in 1770 to 75,000 by 1790. (Note .) The notion that rapid social change began in the 20th century is a myth. This late 18th century expansion was just the beginning. Ten years later the frontier was west of Pennsylvania, and a torrents of settlers were going there. When John Valentine died in 1807 there were already Metzgers in Ohio. More would follow.
MARRIAGE RECORDS
In the last issue (Fall, 1994, p. 6) I gave a marriage record: "Mr. Elexander m. Margaret Ruplogel on 11 Feb. 1847 at Darke Co., OH." I have now identified this Margaret as the daughter of Philip Replogle and Elizabeth Gossart. Her spouse's name was Alexander Grant.
THE BIG REPLOGLE GATHERING
The following interesting old letter is from my file. It was sent to Maggie Replogle Gwin, Charleston, Ill. by a cousin, Mrs. Mary Replogle Dilsaver, Sargent, Neb.:
"Jan. 24 1952. I am Fred Replogle's mother (Mrs. Sam Replogle). Our home was in Red Oak, Iowa. At present I'm with my daughter Neva, whose home is in Great Neck, NY. I have two daughters and one son. Mrs. Fred Replogle, my daughter-in-law at Red Oak, Iowa, couldn't tell you of our family connection and sent your letter to me.
"Father Samuel Replogle was in the milling business, had a large mill in Red Oak, Iowa. with three sons, Karl now lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, David is in Bakersfield, Calif. and Fred was with Confections Inc. a branch of a Chicago firm. Farmers raised popcorn, sold it to Fred, his firm processed it after it was shelled. It was then shipped to Chicago Ill. where "Snacks" were made...
"The Replogles from Eastern Iowa, I think Union County. A brother George of Shenandoah Iowa, and Abe of Farragut Iowa were both in the milling business...
"The older Replogles were Dunkards in religion and often went to conferences, where some of your family may have met them. Yet I do not remember meeting anyone from Charleston Ill.
"Did you ever go to the big Replogle gathering in Pa.? Uncle George and wife often attended. Often 400 or more attended and all were related in some way...
"With kind regards, Mrs. Sam Replogle, 1 West Mill Drive, Great Neck NY."
WHO IS THIS REPLOGLE-REPROGLE?
(Each issue of RRGN will feature an "unknown" whose Replogle lineage needs to be established.)
The 1910 Population Census for Indiana, La Porte County, Michigan City, p 4A lists a Commodore Reprogle, a white male, age 58 (born 1852), married, farmer, born Ind., parents born OH, spoke English, could not read or write. He was an inmate at the Indiana State Prison.
RICHARD REPLOGLE RESEARCH
I had Lineages, Inc. (of P.O. Box 417, Salt Lake City, UT 84110) look at the 1830 Census and try to find Richard Replogle who was reported to have lived at Wayne Twp., Montgomery Co., OH in 1830. They wrote back: "1830 / Ohio: no match for Richard Replogle / Reprogle (etc.) in index - only a Jacob & George Reprogle are listed in Wayne Twp., Montgomery Co." The Jacob and George they refer to are Jacob ID 119 (son of John Rinehart), b. 1771, age 59 in 1830 (shows a family of wife, 1 male and 3 females) and his son George ID 119:9, b. 1810, age 20 in 1830 (shows a family of wife and 2 females). I'm not convinced they looked at all variations of the name Replogle in trying to find Richard in the Ohio 1830 census index; and there may be an error between the index and the census itself (the index is not 100% reliable). Jacob 119 did have a son named Rinehart 119:2 who had 7 children (4 daughters and 3 sons), names unknown. Our data for Richard shows 7 children (3 daughters and 4 sons), whose names are known.
LETTERS
From STEVE REPLOGLE of 609 Detroit St., Denver, CO 80206 (Steven Bruce Replogle / Paul Hudson / Charles Henry / Charles Hudson / Henry / John / John Henry / John Philip / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ? ) dated Sept. 1994:
"Scott Replogle, MD was identified as one of the 'Top 100 Doctors in Denver' in a recent article in '5280: Denver's Mile High Magazine' (p. 22, July-August 1994 issue). The article was entitled 'Top Docs' ... Dr. Replogle lives in Boulder and specializes in rhinoplasty."
From DONNA GRIPPIN of 606 Green St., Atchison, KS 66002, received Sept. 1994, a request for information about Doris Izetta Small Robinson (Lucinda Elen Rhoades Small / Catharine Elizabeth Replogle Rhoades / David Replogle / Rinehart ("Jr.") / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ? ).
From BRENT R. HARRIS, MD of 3619 Peggy's Place, Tyler, TX 75701, dated 13 Sept. 1994: "My wife, Deborah Rhodes Harris is a great-great-granddaughter of Mary Margaret (Maggie) Replogle, who married Jesse Calvin (Cal) Pipkin and lived in Kansas" (Deborah Ann Rhodes Harris / Rita Pauline Nossaman Rhodes / Ethel May Yarberry Nossaman / Malissa Ann Pipkin Yarberry / Mary Margaret Replogle Pipkin / Henry Valentine Horn Replogle / Frederick M. / John Philip / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ? ). "I have gathered some information from talks with Deb's relatives about Maggie Replogle herself and her married life but we know nothing about her parents. I am also very interested in old family photographs. I have transferred several hundred of Deb's old family photos to photoCD for use with my computer. If you have any family photos addressing Deb's direct line, I would be very interested in figuring out some way to have them copied so I could get a negative to place on photoCD, perhaps at a local photography studio. I am placing them on photoCD so that I can act as a repository for family members who wish to have a picture of Great-uncle Joe or Aunt Sue. I'm capable of printing them out on computer at 1200 dpi, which results in a nice picture. They can also be transferred to diskette to be sent off and made into a photograph..."
From NELSON KRUGER (see RRGN Fall 1994 p. 8), 19 Sept. 1994: "I show Barbara Lavina Replogle born in 1757 in York Co., PA. Death was in 1804 in Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH. Her father was Rhinehart Replogle. She married Daniel Cripe (Gripe) in 1775 in Morrison's Cove, Huntingdon Co., PA. He was born 15 Apr. 1752 in Bedford Co., PA and died 23 Oct. 1823 also in Dayton, OH. I show him buried in the Landis Cemetery in Montgomery Co. OH. Most of this information came from a privately printed booklet. Also a reference to the book "Miami Valley Pioneers," p. 114 is shown in my notes. He had a second wife named Susannah Replogle (sister?). With Barbara, I show 7 children, all born in Huntingdon Co., PA. It says that they then moved to Montgomery Co., OH in 1800. Another place says that he was born in 1754 in Lancaster Co., PA and that he died in 1821 not 1823..." Seperately, I have a reference in my file that states: "... Don't know ... whether Daniel m. a second time to someone called Louisa as the Montgomery Co. OH land deeds have led other researchers to conclude."
Later, on 23 Sept., Nelson wrote: "I do show Daniel Cripe's father's (Jacob) will in the Huntingdon Co., PA Book of Wills, Vol. 1, p. 195-197, probated 20 May 1802. The private book... was titled Charles Edgart and Pearl Ann Young - Their Ancestors and Allied Lines."
From BATHA KARR of Calif., Prodigy ID FRTT14C dated 25 Sept. 1994: "My niece is the Replogle. Her address is P.O. Box 521, Duncansville, PA 16635. She is interested... I am the one who keeps the family's records... There are a lot of Replogles back in the area of PA..."
From DELORIS RENSBERGER NIENDORF of 1103 West 19th St., La Porte, IN 46350-6405, a letter dated 29 Sept. 1994. She is the daughter of Grace Darling Hana Replogle by her second marriage to Clarence Victor Rensberger; Grace married first to Milo Leonard Replogle (Maynard S. Replogle / Noah / Daniel, Sr. / John, Sr. / John Rinehart / Philip / Andreas / ? ). She sent data on Milo's branch of the Replogle family, and said: "Some of the children of my two step-sisters are interested in their heritage. Their data is in my computer (finally!) even though I am neither a Replogle nor a Reprogle..."
From JUSTIN REPLOGLE (see this issue, p. 1) dated 26 Sept. 1994: "I just today came across pretty hard evidence that Peter Replogle 11E (son of Rinehart) arrived in Montgomery Co. OH in 1805 (the earliest date formerly was 1814). I had suspected this before because Elizabeth Lane in her Shively genealogy said Christian Shively Sr. and his family left Huntingdon Co. PA for OH in 1805, with is children. (No evidence or source given.) One of his children was Peter's wife Elizabeth. Now I find the enclosed documents. If Peter was there in 1805 then his first child Susan (born Feb. 21, 1806) was born in OH rather than PA (as the old RRG states)... The book by Shirley Mikesell abstracts material from original documents. This passage about the Shivelys comes from an 1882 History of Montgomery County (no author given)... Peter Replogle's name does not show up anywhere in the records of Montgomery Co. that Mikesell abstracts (unfortunately)... On the other hand there are a number of other records (land sales, tax records) that confirm the Shively family was there."
Also, dated 3 Oct. 1994: "On p. 6 of the Fall 1994 Newsletter, you list Sarah Justice as the spouse of unknown George Replogle... According to my notes this George Replogle resided in Clermont Co., OH 1802; Montgomery Co., OH 1830; moved to Indiana about 1832; resided Starke Co., IN 1850. His father was Daniel Replogle, son of Rinehart and Barbara Konig. George's brother Elias also married a Justice."
From RICHARD DAVIS via Prodigy (his ID is STWA71A), a message dated 8 Oct. 1994 concerning Replogle families in Indiana Co., PA: "I went back through most of my old census files. Here are some gleanings which you may already have."

From RUBY GILBERT (see newsletter of Fall, 1994, p. 5), dated Oct., 1994, I received much data on the descendants of Abraham C. Replogle 11E:74. He was born at Carroll Co., IN and died at Osceola, MO. She writes: "I have been doing some research on my great-great grandfather. I have just learned where he started the first Brethren church. This was before they built the one that is pictured in the book. It was started south of Osceola, the building is still there. I'm being able to get a picture of it. I found an article in the library on it...trying to locate when it was started, 1/4 mile from the cemetery where Samuel is buried... Soon as I get it all together I'll send an article for the newsletter."
