| Notes |
John Paul was born in 1680 in Frankfurt, Germany. It is a family tradition that he came from Luckenberg, Germany. This small village is near Talfang which is between Trier and Cochem and near the Mosel River. He was a miller. John Paul and his wife Maria Catherina came to America on the "Charming Betty" arriving Oct. 11, 1733. They were listed on the passenger list as John Vogt 53, Andreas Vogt 12, Casper Vogt 16. John Paul made oath in open court that this is the first time of proving his importation into this Colony and that he imported Mary Catherine, his wife, John Andrew and John Casper(Gasper) his two sons and Catherine Margaret and Mary Catherine, his two daughters. The old records include Vaught, Vought, Vault, Vot, Faut, Faught, Fogt, Full, Waht, Waught, Wocht, Nacht. John Paul and is family arrived in Philadelphia in Oct., 1733 and by Jan., 1735 John Paul had his first land patent. From Oct, 1733 to Jan. 1735 he arrived at, settled on and probably built a house on his land in an area in the Northern Neck of Orange, Co. VA (what today is Madison and Culpeper Counties). John Paul's land adjoined the land of Christian Clements. Both John and Christian's land would today be in Madison Co., VA near the Culpeper Co. line, on State Route 609.
Christian Clements married one of John Paul's daughters, probably Catherine Margaret. The marriage probably took place before they moved to the Great Valley in 1744. John Paul may have attended the Hebron Lutheran Church which is still in use in Madison Co. John Paul may have moved to the Massanutten Mountain area between July, 1744 and Oct. 1744. John Paul died at his home in the Shenandoah Valley in 1761. When he moved there, the county was Orange, When he died there the county was Augusta. Today the county is Rockingham. John Paul's will was dated Oct. 9, 1759 and was proved Aug. 18, 1761. His estate sale and appraisal was dated Sept. 10, 1761. Besides his sons, Andrew and Gasper, only one daughter, the one that married Christian Clements, is mentioned in John's will. Therefore, it is assumed that the other daughter died without issue prior to Oct. 1759, date of the will. |
