It appears that the first immigrant of the name Kogler (Kaigler) was Georg, shown as a carpenter in a list of Salzburgers who embarked from Europe October, 31 1734, arriving in America December, 28 1734 and settling at Ebenezer community Georgia, with other Salzburgers. He continues to be included in lists of residents in Ebenezer in 1741 and acted as godfather on December 12, 1757; his wife Barbara was godmother on March 2, 1762. By January 16, 1775, a list of the Jerusalem Church of Ebenezer, Georgia, includes on the roll only the name of John Kaigler (Kogler).

Matthew Kaigler is shown to have a land grant in South Carolina in 1754, followed by land grants to Frederick Kaigler, 1781, in Camden District, South Carolina and to Peter Kaigler in 1771 and 1773.

Andrew Kaigler, with a land grant in 1758, appears to be the third to arrive in America, assuming that he was born in Germany.

Andrew built a house, the lower floor consisting of one large room with stairs to the two rooms on the second story. The sills were hand hewn, over one foot square and the length of the building. According to Mrs. Julia Jamison, the house still stood in 1955, although one sill sagged in the middle of the house. This building was located at the corner off Bootleg Road and Bulldog Drive, a specimen of architecture that has stood almost two hundred years.

Paul Crawford of Mississippi, a Kaigler cousin, wrote that he had found an entry for the birth of a Johan Andreas Kegler in Eckartsberg, Germany on October 18, 1734. Crawford makes no claim as to the authenticity of this name or date. According to the information of a Mrs. William Kendall, also of Mississippi, Andrew Keighler (Kaigler) was born in 1730 and died about 1810-1815 in Williamson County, TN. He had married Catherine Copplepower in 1750 and was a Lt. in Col. Robert Goodwin's South Carolina Regiment during the Revolution. He also served as Tax Collector for the District of Saxe-Gotha, SC in 1777.

Kings Colors

- one of the military colors used by British colonial troops after 1743. As the British Union Flag it was the standard raised by the Jamestown settlers in 1607. The design originated when King James I of England combined the St. George Cross with the Scottish Cross of St. Andrew.

This was the flag of the early colonist who had joined together in the protest against the British impositions on American economic freedom. One such protest was resistance to the Stamp Act, on October 7, 1765. A delegate from each of the nine colonies formed the "Stamp Act Congress" . They petitioned the king and parliament, the act was repealed on March 18, 1766. The flag of nine red and white stripes that represented these "Sons of Liberty" became known as the "Rebellious Stripes." On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty protested the parliament's Tea Act, an action that became known as the Boston Tea Party. The colonists' believed the tax to be a violation of their legitimate economic liberty. Three and a half years after the Tea Party the thirteen colonies had come together in their decision to fight for independence and the nine stripes had grown to thirteen. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree which became known as "The Liberty Tree".

Grand Union

- the first (unofficial) national flag of the United States. It was raised in 1776 to celebrate the official status of the newly formed Continental Army by General George Washington, whose camp was then in Cambridge. Also known as the Cambridge Flag or Continental Colors
