Information on Josias Coger

Our ancestor Joss Koger married Maria Catharina Gebhard, daughter of the Pastor of the nearby village of Feldburg, on February 22, 1701. These were troubled times in Europe, and a family’s Church Records were often left incomplete as the family moved from village to village to seek sanctuary from the incessant fighting. The records which do yet exist show these children for Maria and Joss: Maria, born December 25, 1701, died May 8, 1703; Nicolaus, born February 21, 1704, died April 4, 1704; Joss, born March 14, 1705; and Bernhard, born November 15, 1706. We must assume that Maria Gebhard Koger died, although the records do not list it, as the records next show Joss Koger marrying Anna Lowenbergen on April 23, 1709. Two of their sons are mentioned in the records; Hans Jacob Koger, born July 24, 1710, and Nicholas Koger, born January 30, 1712.

It is these two brothers who, between 1728 and 1732, came across the Atlantic to America.

For whatever reason, whether due to religious persecution, continuing trouble from the French troops crossing the border, or trouble with the Margrave, the political head of the state of Baden, Jacob and Nicholas Koger left Germany and immigrated to the new land of America.

Joss Koger, their father and the last German branch of our ancestry, died at Auggen on August 23, 1733.
