More on John Paul.

John Paul was born in 1680 in Frankfort Germany. "The Virginia Germans" By Klaus Wust (2nd Printing), pg 50, Has "'John Bum Gardner' (No Doubt Hans Baumgartner), 'Native of Risenbach' took his oath. With him John Paul Vogt of Frankfort and Andrew Vogt of 'Carlsbad in Germany' became subjects."When any one took their oath in Williamsburg it was required that they state their place of birth. A descendant of Chester Vaught, reported that it was a family tradition that John Paul came from Luckenberg, Germany. This small village is near Thalfang which is between Trier and Cochem and near the Mosel river. Luckenberg is too small to have a church or to appear on most maps. Any chruch records would be with those of Thalfang. Dr Helmut Hilgenfeld, a priest and local historian in Thalfang Germany did not find any Vogts in the records there. Dr Hilgenfeld stated that in his opinion, John Paul Vogt could have been a stranger to The district. Strangers were not allowed into the district by the Bishop of Trier who was the small lord in charge. However, a few millers were allowed in. As strangers the millers had no Rights. For example, they could not hold land. This could be one reason that John Paul Vogt emigrated. The fact that John Paul was from Frankfort and later from Carlsbad, supports the opinion of Dr Hilgenfeld that John Paul was a stranger to Luckenberg. John Paul was married to Maria Catherina (also known as Catherina Margret) some time between 1704 and 1714. Their children were Catherina Margret, Mary Catherine, John Andrew, and John Casper. The "Charmingbetty" out of London, John Ball Master, arrived in Philadelphia, PA on 11 Oct 1733 and had Johan Vogt 53, Andreas Vogt 12, Casper Vogt 8, Maria Vogt 46, Catherian Vogt 18, Maria Vogt 16. (Source---"Pennsylvania German Pioneers" Vol 42, Pp 134-136.) German names on the roster were Katner, Meakle, Gruber, Vogt, Leebegoot, Spag, Burger, Imler, Stoker, And Heltsell. The only German names on the ships roster that was later associated with John Pual Vogt was "Burger".

Spellings for the Vogt name in the old records include; Vaught, Vought, Vault, Vaut, Vot, Faut, Faught, Fought, Fog't, Full, Wacht, Waught, Wocht, Nacht, Bellfaught, etc.

John Paul and his family arrived in Philadelphia in Oct 1733. By Jan 1735, John had his First land patent. So from October 1733 to Jan 1735 he arrived at, settled on, and probably built a home on, his land in an area of German settlement in the morther neck of Orange Co., Va. Much of the land in the Great Fork between the Rappahannock and Rapidan Tivers in what is today Madison and Culpeper Co., Va was settled by Germans. John Paul's patent for 640 acres of land in Orange Co., Va was recorded in Jan 1735. John Pauls's land adjjorned that of Christian Clements. Christian's land was patented 21 Nov 1734, a few months before John Paul got his patent. Both John's and Christian's land would today be in Madison Co., Va near the Culpeper Co., line and on state route 609. Neighboring land owners were John Hufman, Capt. Robert Green, Capt. Henry Fields, Jr., Mr Thornton, Capt. Benjamen Roberts, Thomas Kenerly, Joseph Bloodworth, Samuel Coleman, Conrade Amberger, and Docttennant. Christian Clements married one of John Paul's daughter probably Catherine Margret, since Christian's wife was often referred to as Catherine. The marriage probably took place before they move to the Great Valley in 1744. John Paul may have attended the Hebron Luteran Church which is still in use in Madison Co., Va. John Paul Vaught and his wife Mary Catherine sold 170 acres, part of his original patent, to William Caul on 7 Jul 1744. John Paul also sold 470 acres , the rest of the patent in 1744 to John Thomas for 5 schillings. John Paul may have moved to Tte Massanutten Mountain area between Jul 1744 and Oct 1744. John purchased 400 acres from David Logan in the Shenandoah Valley in 1744. John patented land on a North Draft of the North River of the Shenandoah 20 Sep 1745. John Paul lived nest to John Baumgartner on the North River. Christian Clements patented land on the SE side of the South River of the Shenandoah on 25 Sept 1746. In 1749 John Paul Vaught and Christian Clements had a survey run on land on the South River. John Paul Died at his home in the Shenandoah Valley in 1761. When he moved there, the Co was Orange. When he died there, the Co was Augusta. Today the County is Rockingham. John Paul's will was dated 9 Oct 1759 and was proved 18 Aug 1761. His estate Sale and appraisal were dated 10 Sept 1761. Besides his sons Andrew and Gasper, only one daughter, the one who married Christian Clements, is mentioned in John's will. It is therefore assumed that the other daughter died without issue priort to Oct 1759, the date of John's will.
