The US Census shows that there were no Bogans in Crawford County, Ohio prior to 1850. To the best of my knowledge all the Bogans from that area are decendents of John Henry Bogen who arrived there with his family in 1848. The Bogan name was passed on in the County through three sons, Samuel, Joseph and John. I am a descendent of Joseph L. Bogen.

Bogan versus BogenThere is a lack of consistency as to whether the 18th and early 19th century families spelled their name with -an or -en. From census to census, in 1850, 1860, 1970, families switch between the two spellings. John H and Samuel seemed to prefer the Bogen form. The monument to John H in the Oakwood cemetery in Bucyrus, Ohio spells the name Bogen. Joseph L seemed to prefer Bogan and his monument in the same cemetery has that spelling. After these years the name was consistantly Bogan in Crawford county. |

The information in this page is as accurate as the records I could access, but is not complete. I will add and correct the information when it is available to me. Emphasis has been placed on getting as much information as possible on the generations of Bogans in Crawford County from 1848 through 1900.
