There is a discussion on pages 55/56 relative to the actual date of birth of Henry Fogler in the book entitled Descendants of Philipp Christoph Vogler, edited by Charles M. Vogler, published by Penobscot Press in 1994; however, there is no mention of the 1850 date of death inscribed on the earlier gravestone. No firm conclusion is made in the discussion, but it is left that unless proven otherwise, the year of Henry's birth is likely 1775.
Looking at the 1820 U.S. census which reflects 1 male in the Henry Fogler household as being 45 or over, then 1775 is still a viable year, but he would not have been 79 years of age at date of death, if he died in 1850, and he would have been 83 years of age or more had he lived to 1858.
On page 60 of the above stated book, it states that Henry was born in 1773 and that he was a "Yeoman & Farmer".
