    Andrew Gudgel, born 1727 in Germany, is said to have come to the United States when he was 17 (about 1744). He first settled in Pennsylvania, went to Kentucky about 1785. The original pronunciation of the family name was Gudschell, but it is not known how it was spelled. He had three wives, the third was Elizabeth Kane [sic], and was a miller, having a mill on Silver Creek in Kentucky, between Lexington and Frankfort. He lost his mill and land due to a defective land title and moved to Indiana in 1811. His third wife was Elizabeth, the mother of his last three children.

  13. ↑ 13.0 13.1 13.2 13.3 Andrew's family name was spelled (and likely pronounced) many different ways during his lifetime. Like many German language immigrants then and now, his original family name was likely difficult for English speakers to pronounce, let alone spell. The original spelling was most likely Gottshall, as evidenced by the baptismal records of two of his children (Maria, and Esther), and a signature of his father. Later spellings (and pronunciations) are typical of English speakers' attempts to write what they thought they heard. (Note: the problem of working with family names from an unfamiliar context can still be found in attempts of people today to read/transcribe old handwriting. See the Index for Fredrick Gottshall's will and compare it to the actual will.]
