  Balthazar (Balser) Vogel NOTE Balthazar and Catherina Vogel immigrated to America in 1829 and first settled in North Bush (near Buffalo), New York, moving to Brown County, Ohio in 1843. In 1856, they moved to Keokuk County, Iowa. I have a descrepency in Balser's birth, my original source has him born December 28, 1788. I just found a picture of his grave stone at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery and the note said he was born February 13, 1789. 10-23-2006 Balthazar Vogel NOTE December 28, 1788, Godfather was Balthazar Scheild, Munier of Eberbach. Godmother was Catharine Vogel, minor daughter of Theobald Vogel and Anna Barbara Hurtengraber of Liederschiedt. It is said that the name Vogel means "bird" and may have originally been Fogel. According to family stories, Balthazar was in Napoleon's Army. The Balthazar Vogel family immigrated to America in 1829 and were living in the North Bush area of Buffalo, Erie County, New York in 1832. The next record on the Vogel family is in Ohio, where Balthazar purchased 46 1/4 acres of land in Washington Township, Brown County, Ohio for $550.00 on August 7, 1843. This tract was sold September 16, 1854 for $775.00. On November 9, 1853, Balthazar and his son, John Nicholas, purchased 101 acres in Washington Township, Brown County, Ohio, for $1200.00. This piece was sold in the spring of 1856 for $1484.00, when the family was preparing to move to Iowa.

They built a brick house which still stands, and an old map of Clear Creek Township shows a brick yard located near the river on this farm. When Balthazar died, he willed this farm to his wife, Catharine, who sold it to her son, John Nicholas Vogel, on February 5, 1864 for $1000.00. The heirs of John Nicholas Vogel sold it to John A.
