The family requests memorial contributions be made to Pleasant Hill Christian Church, 1707 Pleasant Hill-Liberty Road, Liberty, N.C Our quest to locate family Bibles began in 2001 when Trudie McPherson gave a report at one of the Fogleman Reunions. Hans George and Catharina (Goetz) Fogleman appear in documents related to Shrman s (also known as Saint David s) Union Church in Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania in the mid 1750s. Per notes of Dr. Aaron Fogleman in "Notes on Foglemans and Related Families (Staley, Moretz, Fox/Fuchs, Loeffel/Spoon, Moser, and Long) in and around Alamance County, North Carolina, ca to the Present" last update: June 18, 2001: Catharina Vogelmannin (Fogleman), widow, appears numerous times in the church records of Low's Lutheran Church in Guilford County, North Carolina. She took communion there on 6 May 1805, 6 Apr 1806, 7 June 1808, 21 May 1809, May 1811, 2 May 1813, and Jan She witnessed/sponsored the baptism of Henrich and Nelly Fogleman's child on Sep 3, This shows that the church and religion was important to our early ancestors and that brings us to the issue of family Bibles. The early Bibles for our ancestors were in the German language and may or may not have contained family record pages. There is a very early Fogleman Bible in Pennyslvania but the family has not offered information about its content. There is a good possibility that the book belonged to a Fogleman family from North Carolina. Only time may reveal its content and location. There is another way that Fogleman descendants might help in the venture. You may contact used book stores in your area and inquire whether or not their stock includes old German Bibles. You might also stop to check out the books in local garage sales or flea markets in your area. Who knows when, how, or if we will ever locate that one Bible connected with the Vogelmann or Fogelman family. There have been no reports or activity on family Bibles. It does not, however, deter our goal in locating these precious treasures! You may contact Judie Lewis at (407) (cell) or at jlewis0@earthlink.net if you have information about a family Bible.
