Ulrich Zogg and Florian Zogg Families in Switzerland
I have been in touch with a local historian in St. Gallen Canton Switzerland who has been helpful in providing information regarding our Zogg ancestors. He has compiled data from old church records. I will post the information he gave me here... in case it is of use to any of you.
-------------------------------------
Regarding Florian Zogg, b. 1831, who immigrated to the US in 1874 via Baltimore and settled in West Virginia, then Missouri, then Texas (this is my line):
Florian Zogg born 1831 marr. Anna Gabathuler, born 1837, from Wartau, daughter from Mathias and Anna Sulser, 10 children, Mathias ist he 5.th.
Florian Zogg, born 1806 marr. 1826 Magdalena Bohner, 1805-1873 from Wartau, 9 children, Florian ist he third. 5 sons had a family with children, so this family is today the greatest Zogg family
Florian Zogg born 1769,he marr. 1789 Agnes Stricker, Christians daughter from Grabs, he was a cattler-trader, 13 children, Florian was the 11th. Brother David was a french mercenary.
David Zogg 1746-1788, marr. 1766 Anna Stricker, Grabs, 1746-1825, 8 children, Florian ist the youngest. Three other sons had a family. Normally only one or two sons could marry.
Florian Zogg marr. Before 1747 Maria Eggenberger, we know two children, Anna and David. Here, i’m sorry to stop, because all theearlier church-books burned in a great fire.ß
-------------------------------------
Regarding Ulrich Zogg, b. 1828, who I believe immigrated to the US in 1852 and settled in New York:
Ueli *1828 is the 6.th child from 10 , from Ueli Zogg 1794-1837 and Margrith Vetsch 1798-1879, marriage 1817
And Ueli *1794 is the eldest from 6 children from Andreas 1772-1804 and °Ursula Zogg 1778-1823, marriage 1793
And Andreas *1772 is the eldest from 5 from Hans 1749-1790 and Ursula Schlegel 1748-1785, marriage 1771
And HAns *1749 is the third child from Andreas 1710-1771 and Agatha Stricker 1716-1782, marriage 1739
°Ursula Zogg, Andreas wife, is from another Zogg-line too.
-------------------------------------
NOTE: There are evidently many Zogg lines in this geographic area. I would guess that they trace back (way back) to the same ancestors, though I have no records far enough back to connect them. I have also been told the following by a Zogg who is from Switzerland: "The family line of Zoggs from Grabs (and surrounding area) are mostly of protestant ancestry, whereas the Zoggs from Walenstadt (and surrounding area) derivedpredominantly from people of Roman catholic faith.In addition there is another group of Zoggs in the state (Kanton) of Graubünden."
