Source Notes

• The records of Lehigh Church and Longswamp Church give conflicting records as to the parentage of Elisabeth Vogely. The Lehigh Church records list Peter Vogele & Elisabetha Mertz as her parents; Longswamp Church records list them as sponsors at her baptism, parents being Henrich Vogele and wife Barbara. There is slight difference in the birthdates. In the Lehigh Church record, subtracting age from death date gives a calculated birth date of 22 Mar., 1775. In the Longswamp Record, birthdate is 10 Mar. 1775. Error could enter into the calculated age (months & days)for the death record; the back calculation of birthdate from this record; the recording of baptismal date as birthdate, etc. If these two records refer to the same Elisabeth Vogele, then either the parents are recorded wrongly in one set; or, the sponsors Peter Voegely and Elisabetha Mertz actually raised the child, and were recorded at her death as her parents. The other possiblity is that these two couples each had a daughter, born within 12 days of each other, each with the same name.
• In the baptismal records of the Longswamp church there appear to have been two different couples named Peter & Elisabetha Voegele, having children in the same era. This confuses the issue of which children are the descendants of our Peter Voegele and Elisabeth Marz. Also, Elizabeth Mertz is recorded as a baptismal sponsor on 23 Apr. 1810 for Elisabetha, born to Heinrich & Margaretha Vogele. It is curious that her maiden name would be used at that point, if she is the Elisabeth Marz who married Peter Vogele before 1775. It seems that by the 1780's and 1800's, these families had been in the area long enough for there to be multiple people with the same name, of more than one generation.
