[NI0411] From: Ron Fegley >
I found a pension application record (file M313, roll 32)for the war of 1812
for a Simon Figley. He lived in Defiance county OH in the 1850s and died
there in 1883. His first wife was Margaret Hannum and his second wife was
Elizabeth Ohliger. Enlisted on feb 12, 1813, and he did obtain bounty land.
Based on death date and wife name, this must be Simon W. Figley in your file.
Hard to believe he had a son with the same identical name as is shown in the
databank.

[NI0424] LDS records show his birthdate as Oct 4, 1813. This is an error. Millie Starr has in her possession a certified copy of an old paper which was found in the Jackson Phegley family Bible showing the birth dates of David and Judah Phegley's children.

[NI0537] Both Albrecht Vogel and Christina Geissel were shown as widowed when they married in 1799.

[NI0546] He had 8 children

[NI0549] He had 11 children.

[NI0552] He had five children, 2 survived a diptheria epidemic.

As a pastor, he knew his flock, gained their confidence, and was loved and esteemed by them. As a teacher, he neither spared time nor effort to thoroughly indoctrinate his catechumens in the word and the teachings of the Church. As a preacher, he knew how to deliver the word of God effectively. He knew his Bible and his sermons were scriptural throughout. He did not defile the pulpit with secular themes, in that he was ever deeply conscious of the awful and sacred responsibility of the minister who was called of the Lord to feed the lambs and sheep in the green pasture of God's Word. During his pastorate he had the pleasure of seeing 11 of his young men enter the ministry. He marked the advance in mode of life, education, and church activity, and liberality among the people of his parish. Many improvements were made in the churches in which he preached.

Fegley had not been in good health for some time, he had continued to minister to the needs of his people, and the end came unexpectedly. The "Morning Call", the leading paper of the county, published at Allentown, in an article on his death, made in part the following comment: "The deceased was greatly esteemed by his congregations and his sudden demise is a severe shock to his many friends. He was an able pulpit orator, and during these long years of his pastorate he studied continually and kept abreast with the times. He was a very pleasant man to meet socially and was ever ready to guide the young who needed his help. He was exceptionally successful in his long pastorate in the once charge. When one meets his people in the various congregations he served there was always the highest respect shown and the kindest woks spoken for him. He lived the life of a good pastor and friend."
Frederick William Fegley, son of Philip Franklin and Louisa (Brensinger) Fegley, was born Dec. 26, 1881, in Longswamp township. He was reared on the farm and educated in the public schools and later graduated at the high school of his native place.

Fegley as clerk in his general store, remaining 2 years. He then became interested in the Modern Bag Co, an enterprise conducted by his brother, Nathan, which he established in 1899, at Allentown.

[NI2001] Joan Frizzell, frizzell@lasalle.edu:
When visiting my ggrandmother's grave I noticed that the grave site is shared with the Fegley's. I assume
that my ggrandmother is a daughter or other relative of this family. Here are the names and dates that I obtained from the headstones:
FEGLEY, Jacob C. s/o Jacob & Mary A. FEGLEY (b.9-14-1874 d.3-3-1889)

There is the possibility of a mixup between this Jacob Calvin and the older Calvin Jacob. Either one of them may or may not belong to this family.
