Jacob Friederich "Frederick" Boger was born on 7 February 1752 in Lomersheim, Enzkreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.1 The family came from the south-central area of modern-day Germany, from the village of Schwaigern, near Heilbronn in Wuerttemberg, near the Alscace-Lorraine region of modern-day France.
Frederick’s grandfather Hans Paulus Boger (1684-1765), his wife Anna Eva Fuchs, and their children emigrated to America, arriving in Philadelphia on the ship Samuel on 11 August 1732. Johann Michael’s father, Michael Joseph Fuchs Boger (“Joseph”) (1719?-1784), was listed as 12 years old when the family arrived.2 Frederick was an older brother of Patriot Michael Boger, P-318741.
Frederick was married to Regina Mull, also known as Rachel Mull, on 15 April 1777 by Rev. John Andrew Krug, the pastor of Evangelical Lutheran Church in Frederick, Maryland. They were listed as “both in Loudon County, Virginia,” so it is possible that Rev. Krug was visiting the congregation in Loudoun County which was a “preaching point” of the Frederick church, or the marriage ceremony might have taken place in Frederick. Frederick was listed as a son of Joseph Boger; Regina was listed as a daughter of Dewald Moll.3 Frederick and Regina had seven known children:4
David was born in 1777
Rachel was born in 1779
Joseph was born in 1781
Frederick was born in 1783
Magdalena was born in 1784
Peter was born in 1785
Joseph was born in 1786 and died young.
Peter was born in 1789 and died young.
Johannes Heinrich was born in 1791
Frederick Boger paid the Supply Tax in 1783.5 He was listed in the 1787 “Census” of Loudoun County, District A, First Battalion.6
The Patriot died on or before 16 October 1791. The Lutheran Church burial register reads (as translated): “Friederich, at age 39 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days.” He was buried in New Jerusalem Lutheran Cemetery. His headstone (Row II, Site 4), written in German, was transcribed with his date of birth as 7 February 1752.7

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
