Notes - Very little historical record exists for William P. Vogt. He shares a very weathered headstone at Witmer Cemetery with Matilda Vogt; the text which is legible appears to note him as the son of George and Matilda Vogt, but the dates are no longer legible. Given the birth years of George and Matilda's other children, he would most likely have been born either between Mary Jane and George (circa 1847) or after Matilda (circa 1853-1855). He was not in the 1850 census.
