Martin Vogt (father) was born in the canton of Basle [sic], Switzerland, in 1787, and when only thirteen years of age, in 1800, he emigrated to America and located at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1828, when he removed to Niagara county, which was then mostly a dense forest. Here he lived until 1836, in which year he went to Maccutcheonsville, Wyandotte county, Ohio, and after a residence of nine years there, removed in 1845 to Bellevue, that State, where he died January, 1849. He married Elizabeth Rudy and had a family of six sons and two daughters, his wife dying on June 18, 1849. In politics Mr. Vogt was a Jacksonian democrat, and took an active part in the public questions of his day. He was a member of the German Evangelical church, and was prominent in his denomination, being deeply concerned in the advancement of all religious interests. In business he was a man of great energy and enterprise. While in Philadelphia he ran a line of freight wagons between that city and Pittsburgh before the canal was constructed, and on going to New York purchased seventy-five acres of forest land from the Holland Land Company, and by hard work, converted it into a fertile farm, which is now owned by the construction company, and known as the Cunningham farm. After removing to Ohio he was also engaged in farming on an extensive scale, until old age terminated his activity.
