- more notes and comments


1. Entries found in Nugent's "Cavaliers and Pioneers", Vol. 1 JOHN HOGG is mentioned as a headright in a land grant to. An abstract of this land grant can be found in Nell Marion Nugent's "Cavaliers and Pioneers", Volume 1, page 346. The abstract reads:


CAPT. LEONARD CHAMBERLAIN 650 acs. New Kent Co., on branches of Arraciaco Sw., 22 May 1657, p. 96, (142). 300 acs. By patent dated 27 Oct. 1653; 350 acs. for trans. of 7 pers: Mary Wooderd (?), Jno, Lee, Jno. Martin, Jno. Hooke, Rich. White, JOHN HOGG, Tho. Maple. Then, it seems, JOHN HOGG received his own land grant in 1659. That grant is not in Nugent's book, but it is mentioned in 1663, when it is renewed. The abstract of the 1663 renewal of the 1659 grant is in "Cavaliers and Pioneers", Volume 1, page 451.

It reads: JOHN HOGG 140 acs. New Kent Co., 16 Mar 1663, p. 179, (68). Upon Warrany Branches, beg. at cor. of Mr. Hopes land &c to Mr. Barnhouse &c. Renewal of patent dated 27 Aug. 1659. Finally, there is a third grant mentioned in "Cavaliers and Pioneers", Volume 1, page 564. The abstract of this third grant reads:

FARDINANDO AUSTIN, 1500 acs. In Chas. Citty & James Citty Ciunties, 5 Jan 1664. P. 528 (646). On N. & S. side of the head of Moyses Run, bounding S. on Henry Cantrells land, now in possession of Mr. Horsemanden, S. on Mr. Hamlins land, Wly. on Queens Cr, Nly. on the head of Pease hill Sw. 1200 acs. by patent of 25 Feb. 1653 & 300 acs. for trans. of 6 pers. Jno. Roberts, Wm. Thomas, Evan Davis, Jno. Hogg, Wm. Frisell, Jno. Morecroft. It is not clear that this is the same JOHN HOGG. but it is possible that he traveled from England to Virginia more than once and was counted as a headright for each passage.

2. The Location of the JOHN HOGG Land Grant Warrany Branches, sometimes called Warrany Creek, is in Blisland Parish, in the extreme Eastern part of New Kent County. It provided the name for one of the churches of Blisland Parish, Warrany Church. The headwater of the creek is not far from the York River, but it flows South and in the 17th century it drained into the Chickahomani River.

Today it is called Wahrani Swamp, it provides the course for a popular hiking trail, and it drains into the Diascund Creek Reservoir, a manmade lake that is part of the water system of the city of Newport News. On a 1930 USGS topo map, the headwater of the creek is at 37.486N and 76.856W. From there it flows as what appears to be a narrow stream to 37.453N and 76.872W where it broadens, presumable due to the water level of the lake. From that point it flows into the main part of the lake at 37.439N and 76.882W.

It is said that Warrany Church was built on high ground near the head of Warrany Creek overlooking the York River.

3. The 1703 Quint Rent Roll The next available record of the Hogg's in New Kent County is the quit rent roll of 1703. It lists land owners JOHN HOGG Junior with 260 acres, Mary Hogg with 140 acres, and William Hogg with 200 acres. I have not seen the original document, but Mrs. Ironmonger cites a transcription from "Virginia Mag. of Histy. & Biog.", Vol 31, p. 221, which, she reports, says that all are in the parish of St. Peter's and St. Paul's in New Kent County, Virginia.

It seems that Mary Hogg is the widow of JOHN HOGG the immigrant, since her land is the same number of acres as the land grant of 1659, and that JOHN HOGG Jr. and WILLIAM HOGG are sons of JOHN HOGG. JOHN HOGG Jr. and WILLIAM HOGG have their own land at this time.

 

4. Parish Records Extant New Kent County was formed in 1654 by separating it from York County. At that time, the county consisted of Blisland Parish in the Eastern part of the county and St. Peter's Parish in the remaining part of the county. In 1706, St. Paul's Parish was separated from St. Peter's Parish. St. Paul's Parish consisted of the Western half of New Kent County. Then in 1720, St. Paul's Parish was separated from New Kent County to form Hanover County.

The parish records extant today are (1) The register of St. Peter's Parish, 1680-1787

(2) The vestry book of St. Peter's Parish, 1682-1758

(3) The vestry book of St. Paul's Parish, 1706-1786

(4) The vestry book of Blisland Parish, 1721-1786

Blissland Parish covered the territory between Schimino Creek and Ware Creek, St. Peter's Parish (after St. Paul's Parish was established) covered the territory between Ware Creek and line between the present day New Kent County and the present day Hanover County, and St. Paul's Parish covers all of the present day Hanover County.

I have found no mention of any Hogg's in either the register of the vestry book of St. Peter's Parish.

JOHN HOGG Jr. is found in the Blisland Parish vestry book, indicating that he lived in the Eastern part of New Kent County. WILLIAM HOGG is found in the St. Paul's vestry book, indicating that he lived in the Western part of New Kent County that became Hanover County.

5. Entries in the Blisland Parish Vestry Book The Blisland Parish vestry book contains the following entries
   (page numbers are those of the printed transcript)

p.34  15_Jun_1728, JOHN HOGG, teller of tob.

p.37  16_Jun_1729, JOHN HOGG, continued as viewer and teller of tob.

p.171 20_Oct_1766, to Mary Hogg for keeping Sarah Valentine for 3 mo.

p.206 28_Apr_1777, to Capt. Richard Allen for Mrs. Mary Hogg maintaining a child of Thomas Smith.


From these records we conclude that JOHN HOGG Jr., son of JOHN HOGG the immigrant lived in Blisland Parish, died after 1729, and had a son, William, who was a prominent member of the community. William died between 1658 and 1661. Mary was probably William's widow.

From these records we conclude that WILLIAM HOGG, son of JOHN HOGG the immigrant lived in St. Paul's Parish, in New Kent County until 1720, in Hanover County after 1720. William is not mentioned after 1719.

The next generation of Hogg men in Hanover County, presumably sons of William, are Milbourn, mentioned in the records from 1730 to 1742, John, mentioned in the records from 1730 to 1760, and William, mentioned in the records from 1742 to 1762.

These men are followed by yet another generation consisting of Micajiah, mentioned in the records from 1766 to 1784 and Thomas, mentioned in the records from 1771 to 1784.

7. Other Sources In addition, there are scattered tax records. For Hanover County in 1790 the personal property tax list includes Micajiah Hogg, Mary Hogg, and Thomas Hogg Sr. and the land tax list includes Micajiah Hogg and Thomas Hogg.

Then in 1799 the personal property tax list includes Micajiah Hogg and the estate of Thomas Hogg and the 1800 land tax list includes Frances Hogg and Thomas Hogg.

Mrs. Ironmonger, page 419, cites a few additional references from the Swem Library:

William and Mary Quarterly, Series 1, Vol. 22, p.121, Micajah Hogg, 1787, Hanover County

William and Mary Quarterly, Series 1, Vol. 23, p. 30, Thomas Hogg, 1788, Hanover County

William and Mary Quarterly, Series 1, Vol. 23, p.125, Francis Hogg, 1791, Hanover County

Calendar of Virginia State Papers, Vol. 2, p. 626, Richard Hogg, 1781, Richmond VA 


8. Out of Hanover County:  Two men from Hanover County moved west. JOHN HOGG appears on the tax list of Amherst County in 1783 and Milbourne Hogg is recorded in a deed in Albemarle County in 1777.

JOHN HOGG of Amherst County had a large family including a son names Milbourne. In the 1770 deed, Milbourne Hogg of Albemarle County is referred to as being of Hanover County. These facts lead to the conclusion that Milbourne Hogg of Albemarle County and JOHN HOGG of Amherst County were sons of Milbourn Hogg of Hanover County. Most of the descendants of JOHN HOGG of Amherst County choose to spell the name Hogue. Many of them moved west from there and settling in Indiana and Missouri and beyond

1800 Census of Pendleton District, South Carolina  -

 

I had several lines in this area of South Carolina.

The following excerpt from that census that was compiled by William C. Steward, published by National Genealogical Society, 1921 Suderland Place, N.W., Washington 36, D.C. 1963:

 

485  JOHN HOGG  30010 - 00100 - 00 - (could this be Gideon's brother?)
486   George Hogg   02001 - 01010 - 00 -


"Gideon Hogg was enumerated in Pendleton in 1790 and the family that year also was in York District, S.C., and in Wilkes County, N.C., and other nearby counties."

 

 Generation Three


Gideon HOGG, Sr. born circa 1720/25 was in Goochland Co., VA as he was a witness to the Will of Robert Burton in Goochland Co., VA in 1748.  Gideon died in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1793.  Gideon married JUDITH GIBSON, daughter of William Gibson.  See the Gibson line,.

From my cousin Robin Holt:

GIDEON HOGG

Gideon Hogg was born c. 1720, and was in Caswell County, North Carolina when he died. From The Heritage of Caswell Co., N. C. 1985, by Janine D. Whitlow, Ed. Hunter Pub. Co. Winston Salem, N. C. comes the following statement;

The earliest record found thus far for Gideon (Hogg) is a 1763 land grant of 400 Acres on Rutledge''s Creek, near John Yates path. He left a will dated July 17, 1793, and in that will he names his wife, Judith, and all of his 11 children. He signed the will with his mark, " x " which means that he could not read and write. In addition to the will he left an Inventory of his goods, which gives some clues to how he had been living. One of his sons, Gideon Jr., fought in the Revolutionary war, in the army from North Carolina.

GIDEON HOGG to ANDREW HOGG 135 acres - May 4, 1790.  Gideon married Judah or Judith Pittman (Pittman unproven).  She was born circa 1745 in Caswell Co., North Carolina?.  Further research needs to be done to determine Judith/Judah Pittman's ancestry.  Gideon's son, Gideon, was a Private at the time of the Revolution in Coleman's Company, having enlisted in January 1782 for twenty-one months.

North Carolina and Colonial Records show Gideon Hogg (this would be Jr.) of Caswell Co, NC enlisted 1 January 1782 for 12 months. Vol 16 page 1083 shows Abraham Shepherd, Colonel 10th Regiment, Gideon Hogg, private.  Note that this is Gideon Jr. as senior would be too old at this time to enlist.  I am descended through two of Gideon's children; Judith Hogg who married John Gibson and had Mary Gibson who married Constant Ratliff; and Rebecca Hogg who married William Shelton and had Elizabeth "Betsy" Shelton who married Jonathan Lynn, the latter couple had William Lynn who married married Mary "Polly" Lindley who in turn had Lucy Clementine Lynn who married John A. B. Ratliff whose father was Constant Ratliff, grandson of John Ratliff.

vi

Agnes Hogg, married William Robins of Rowan Co., NC? she being born 1765

vii

Andrew Hogg - born when?  he had a son born in 1796, so he would have been born 1776 or before.  Some of his siblings seem to have been born much earlier, so the birth of this child could have been one of his later ones.  And, if the children of Gideon and Judith were born around 1755, then a birth year of 1728 for Gideon would be plausible.

Note:  "My ggg grandfather was Andrew Hogg/Hogue born about 1796 in North Carolina.  He married Elizabeth Stevens, Feb 13, 1821 in Casey County, Kentucky.  I believe and have had several people tell me that his parents were Andrew Hogg/Hogue and Alley Murray of North Carolina.  Which would make Gideon and Judith Hogg my Andrew's Grandparents.  It appears that when Andrew and Alley left Caswell County, NC that they changed the spelling to Hogue.  Carroll @ kcnor@ccrtc.com
