Johann Wilhelm Vogel, a craftsman (Handwerker), immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) arriving in the city of Schleswig on 30 May 1761 as the servant of Alexander Pappenheim. He swore allegiance to King Friedrich of Denmark on 24 July 1761.
On 29 July 1762, he is recorded on the farmstead "Ohne Murren" in the Danish colony of Königshügel.
The parish register of Hohn [Denmark] records on 27 September 1762 the marriage of Johann Wilhelm Vogel to Catharina Salome Maier.
They were dismissed from the Danish colonies on 1 May 1765 and joined the migration to Russia.
The 1775 census of Grimm records Wilhelm Vogel in Household No. 60 along with wife Salome and his in-laws, Johannes & Ursula Meier.
The Eichhorns record that Johann Wilhelm Vogel was a servant of Alexander Pappenheim from the German village of "Meßbach, Amt Lichtenberg, Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt." The 1767 census records that he was from the German region of Isenburg.
There do not seem to be any surviving male descendant lines of this Vogel family among the Volga German colonies.
