Bradley Family Tree - Samuel Fogg, Founder of Hampton, New Hampshire

Samuel Fogg - Farmer, one of Hampton's Founders

Family Connection - 7th great-grandfather of Ruth Anne Bradley

Founder's Park Monument to Fogg family in Hampton, NH

Samuel Fogg's date of birth is unknown, but he was baptized on January 1, 1628 in Theydon Gamon, in the Epping Forest District, Essex, England. 

Samuel came to the Massachusetts Colony in 1646, as an apprentice to his mother's brother, John Legate.

Samuel and John both settled in the newly-established town of Hampton, New Hampshire. Hampton was founded by Stephen Bachiler (yes, the one from my blog post on September 16th) in 1638. In 1925, the town of Hampton created Founder's Park to honor the families that were among the early settlers of the town. The Fogg family is honored in Founder's Park, as is the Legate family. 

On Oct. 12, 1652, Samuel married Anne Shaw, b. 1636. They had five children.
        Samuel   b. 1653, d. 1676
        Joseph    b. 1655, d. 1660
        John        b. 1656, d. 1660
        Mary       b. 1658 d.  1707
        Daniel     b. 1660, d. 1755

Anne Shaw died in 1663. 

Samuel married Mary Page, b.1644, in 1665.  They had three children.
        Seth        b.1665,  d. 1754
        James     b. 1668,  d. 1760
        Hannah  b. 1670,  d. 1680

The Shaw family and the Page family are both honored in Founder's Park as well. 

Samuel was a farmer. He was a member of the Congregational Church, and served multiple times as Selectman. 

Samuel Fogg died on Feb. 16, 1672.  Mary Page outlived her husband - she died on Mar. 8, 1700.

He must have been prosperous, since his will is lengthy and highly detailed, including land, buildings, and livestock as well as personal possessions.  At the time of his death, none of his surviving children were of age (21) so his wife Mary received one-third of his land as her "dowry".  She also received half of the family house to be hers to live in until/unless she remarried, with the remaining two-thirds of land and property to be held by her, then divided among the surviving sons as each came of age. 

Samuel Fogg > Seth Fogg > Simon Fogg > Ebenezer Fogg > Jeremiah Fogg >  Charles Heman Fogg > Simon Stickney Fogg > William Darwin Fogg > Bessie Lakin Fogg > Ruth Anne Bradley

Samuel Fogg is in the green section of the top chart, at the bottom edge. The center person of the top chart, Jeremiah Fogg, is in the yellow section, second ring from the outside, next to the blue section.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne.
