Thomas P. Fogg
Thomas P. Fogg was born around 1794 in New Hampshire. He served in the militia for two weeks in September 1814 during the War of 1812. He eventually settled in Salem, Ohio, and he married Mary Soule on March 30, 1830. They had at least eight children: Waldo, born on September 14, 1830; Stephen, born around 1832; Irena, born around 1835; Clarkson, born around 1840; Cecil, born around 1843; Hannah, born around 1845; Lydia, born around 1848; and Mary, born around 1851.
He worked as a farmer, and by 1850, he owned $2,000 of real estate. He and his son Waldo ran the Salem Center Nursery, offering an “annual supply of Apple Trees.” He supported the temperance movement and opposed slavery. He reportedly served as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, and a Virginia newspaper offered a $2,000 reward for his “capture, dead or alive.” By 1870, he owned $3,600 of real estate and $600 of personal property. He died in Salem on September 10, 1876.
