Mr. Fogle probably left Texas shortly after being discharged from the army, since he did not apply for a headright or for the land due him for having participated in the Battle of San Jacinto.
Since neither headright, bounty or Donation Certificates were issued to Andreas Voyel the Compiler believes that Andreas Voyel and Andrew Fogle were one and the same and that he was transferred from Captain Baker's Company to Captain Wyly's Company without his name being removed from Captain Baker's Company.
