Story: __ ___ ____ An assumption is made, based on name, location, and relatives in the same
locations, that Balzer Replogle (ID is 12 in 1984 Gen.) and Johann Balthasar
Reblogel (ID is UA-3.2 in 1984 Gen.) are one and the same person. The
following notes are from the 1984 Gen., p. xxiv: "Johann Balthasar Reblogel
(UA-3.2), baptised Dec 24 1722. "Our 12 Balzer Replogle (Reblogel) could be
this man. He also could be a son of 11 John Rinehart Replogle. John Rinehart
and Balzer lived in the same location in Frederick Co MD and York Co PA, same
time period in Frederick Co MD. Balzer lived in Littlestown (York Co, now
Adams Co), PA as did John Rinehart. Balzer, however, lived there 20 years
later than John Rinehart."
Before 1779: "The deeds of York Co., PA record a deed to Balzer Replogle and
says he is of Frederick Co., MD." "Record of deed in York Co. PA to property
in Frederick Co. MD stating he is 'of Frederick Co MD.'"
1779: "Our earliest primary source record of 12 Balzer is 1779, a tax
assessment record at Germany Twp (York Co) PA."
1781: Balzer was a private, Germany Twp., York Co., PA militia,
Revolutionary War. "Member, militia, York Co., PA; Soldier, a private; member
of the fifth class of Germany Twp., York Co., PA, as of Jan., 1781."
"A member of the fifth class of Germany Twp., York Co., undated but during
the Revolution. He was assessed seven shillings, four pence toward a bounty to
be paid to a man who would enlist in the Continental Army for the
Revolutionary War."
1777-1782: From PA archives, 3rd series, vol. XXI, assessments in Germany.
Township, York Co., PA:
Page 106, Reblogel, Balzer, 7 acres, 1 cattle, year 1777;
Page 309, Rabfogel, Balzer, 7 1/2 acres, 1 cattle, year 1780;
Page 454, Replogel, Balzer, 2 cattle, year 1781;
Page 559, Riblogle, Balzer, Taxed 1.18.9, year 1782.
1782: In the York Co., PA Land Records Book 2B, p. 183, is a copy of a deed
dated 25 Oct 1782, recorded 26 Mar 1783, showing that Andrew Kunts sold land
to Balzer Replogle of Frederick Co., MD, land in York Co., PA, 7 1/2 acres
called 'Discovery.'
"...Baltzer Riblogle of Frederick County, MD, yeoman, bought seven and a
half acres of land in Germany Township, York (now Adams) County, PA for one
hundred thirty pounds. This land was bought from Andrew Kuntz (a variant of
Coons?), blacksmith of Petersburg (now Littlestown), York (now Adams) Co, PA.
"(NOTE: It has been our experience that many people living in MD along the
PA-MD border often came to York County to church, and also owned property on
both sides of the border, also went to court for legal work in a state
different from the one in which they lived, so this is not too surprising that
Baltzer Replogle was living in MD.
"We have not been able to tie in Baltzer Replogle with Reinhardt Replogle of
York Co, nor have we found information concerning other members of the family
of Baltzer Replogle. We have not been able to find definite proof of
Revolutionary War service of Baltzer Replogle. The data we have shown (based
on Henry James Young's unpublished book, pp 178 and 181) does not prove that
this man actually performed military or patriotic service during the
Revolution."- In letter from Landon Chas. Reisinger, Librarian, The Historical
Society of York Co PA, 2 Jul 1981.
1788: Dau Hannah b 15 May 1788 at Littlestown, Union Twp, Adams Co PA.
Reformed Church Records of York & Adams Counties, PA, "Hanna Replogle b. 15
May 1788, chr. 18 Jan 1789, parents Balthaser and Barbara Replogle, sponsor
Elizabeth Schilyn, single."

Reblogel b. 15 May 1788, cr. 18 Jan 1789, dau/ Balthaser & Barbara, Sponser,
Elisabeth Schily(in), single, Christ Reformed Church, Littlestown, Union Twp.,
Adams Co. (PA). (Your source gave Conewago Church, which I believe to be an
error."-Letter, Patricia J. Bryan, 16 Nov 1981.
1789: Dau Hannah chr 18 Jan 1789 at Littlestown, Union Twp, Adams Co PA. On
the 1789 christening record of Balzer's daughter Hannah, his name is given as
Balthasar Reblogel.
1796: "(Balser) first appears in the tax records of Rockbridge Co in 1796 --
he possibly could have lived there a few years before tax payment was
required." - Fay L. Mays, 5 Mar 1974.
1800: "Moved from PA thru MD and settled near Lexington, Rockbridge Co.,
VA...First deed Apr. 1, 1800."
"Bought land from a Mr. Entsminger in 1800 at Rockbridge Co., VA. The land
had been patented to the Entsmingers. The first Replogle to be found at
Rockbridge Co., VA, probably Balzer, located at the House Mountain Section."
Also res at Short Hill Section according to Kangas, 1975.
1809-1810: Balzer died between 21 Nov 1809 (will written) and 4 Feb 1810
(will proven).
Balser Replogle's will is dated Nov. 1, 1809 when he was apparently an old
man, for the will mentioned him as being weak in body but perfect in mind.
Local history states that his wife's name was Barbara.
Jacob was probably his oldest son. Jacob and John are named executors in
Balser's will of 1809, so must have been over 21.
"If 12 Balzer is UA-3.2 Johann Balthasar, he was aged 87 when he wrote his
will in 1809 and about 60 when his second known child (Jacob 122) was born in
1782 in Maryland. (We have no record to support a birth date of his first
child Elizabeth 121.) It appears that Balzer may have been considerably older
than his wife. He died between 1809-1810, and she died between 1830-1833
between ages 70-80." - RRG 1984, p. xxiv.
1820: VA census index, 1820, RCK, p 294A, Barbary Riplogal (probably widow
of Balzer Replogle). Jacob Riplogal, probably son of Balzer, is also listed.
1831-1836: "Evidently Rockbridge Co. Replogles & other families left for
Ritchie Co., W.Va. between 1831 and 1836."-Conard, c. 1971.
1841-1845: "We wondered why (Amos) didn't buy his liquor from Balser
Replogle, whose family had a distillery in connection with (his) farm ... An
old account book, obviously on the distillery still owned by Replogles and
with dates from 1841-1845 -- not a single item of rum was there, but much
whiskey of varying grades and usually sold by the half gallon, priced at 25
cents or 75 cents... We have seen the building where the stills were kept on
one of our visits back to Rockbridge (1965 and 1967). From Balser the property
passed to his son John (1) who m. late in life; thence to John (1)'s nephew,
John son of Jacob; thence to his nephew, John Oliver Tardy, who was the
brother of my husband's mother, Katharine Elizabeth (Tardy) Mays-Greene ..." -

that the Replogles came from PA...in records sent to me...'Jacob Replogle m.
c. 1800 __ Coon (?Coontz) believed to be a dau of a John Coon, both d.

The Coon name appears also as follows: David B. Replogle, 122:1, m. Eliza
Beckom, dau of Matthias and Elizabeth (Coon) Beckom. "Elizabeth (Coon) Beckom
(descendants Beckham) was dau of Christian (Gohn) Coon and Elizabeth

1807: "It was Emmett W. Tardy (122:621), mail carrier of R.F.D. 3,
Lexington, VA who sent in data relative to Jacob Replogle having married a
Coon. We were not able to establish identity of this John Coon in our family.
Mr. Tardy lived in Rockbridge Co VA on land patented by this John Coon. He
quoted a document:
'This is to certify that this day I hav bought of Jacob Replogle his
undivided one-sixth part of one hundred and sixty acres of land lying in the
County of Pickaway in the State of Ohio, and I do hereby obligate myself to
pay all arrears of taxes or other claims that may be on said land, so that

1850: In 1850, Peggy Standoff (age 35, b VA), William Carter (age 11, b VA),
and Dennis Conner (age 11, b VA) res in his home.
1854: "Margaret Standoff was the only wife of John Replogle, Sr... John
Replogle, Jr. is... son of Jacob Replogle, as mentioned in John Replogle,
Sr.'s will..."
1855-1856: "Dr. John Riprogal" is mentioned in the Rockbridge Co. VA
Merchant account books. It is unknown if "Dr. John" is I.D. 123, John
Replogle, Sr., or some other John Replogle. (See also entries in these books
for Balzer, I.D. 12.)
1874: "In 1874 John Replogle, an elder in Oxford Presbyterian Church,
donated land for a church at the intersection of what is now County 672 and
State 251 for the Cedar Hill Baptist Church. The church is still used on the
third Sunday of August, when the former members have their homecoming and
picnic." Is this John Replogle the same person as I.D. 123, John Replogle,
Sr.?
"The proposed salary for the new minister ... Then Jacob Replogle ... came
to the rescue and the figure was advanced ..."
1874: John Replogle (deeds land) to "Trustees for the Colored Baptist
Congregation." 63 1/2 square poles "for the purpose of erecting a building
which shall be used exclusively for a place of worship, a school house and a
place of public speaking, and for no other purpose."
"I came upon this reference to John Replogle in connection with a book I did
on Rockbridge Co road names. One of our roads is called 'Cedar Hill Road' (it
lies about 15 miles S.W. of Lexington) because of the small white frame ch
that stands on it."
