Shep's Place Family Tree

Foglesongs came to America from southern Germany near Heidelberg. In the US 1790 federal census there were but five Foglesong families in the whole country; however, there was a George Foglesong in Frederick Co., Maryland. In the 1800 census there was a George Senior in Hagerstown, Washington Co., Maryland, and a George Junior in Westminster, Frederick Co., Maryland. In the 1810 census there was a George in Botetourt Co., Virginia, and another in Franks, Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania. In 1820 a George F. was in Bath Co., Virginia. I suspect that our George went from Frederick Co., Maryland, to Virginia. He probably went first to Botetourt Co., and then to Bath Co.

The OneWorldTree ‎(Ancestry.com)‎ information about George W. Foglesong gives Mason Co., Virginia as his place of birth.
