• Notes

  s/o James Hoge (b1630) & Marjorie Jean Hogue lived in Normandy, France. The family derives its name from Cape La Hogue. Jean became a Huguenot and fled to Scotland around 1560 to escape the funeral fires. Sir John Hoge (Haig) lived in Musselboro, Scotland. His son George Hoge had a son, Sir James Hoge, who had a son William, born in 1660. Settled first in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, then later in Kernstown, Virginia —— William Hoge, the first representative of this family, distinguished in church and state, came to America in 1682 ; was the son of James Hoge, of Scotland, who lived in Musselburg, near Glasgow. On board the Caladonia, the vessel that brought him over, there was a family named Hume, consisting of father, mother, and daughter; they were Presbyterians, leaving Scotland to avoid persecution. The Humes were from Paisley, Scotland, and the father was a Knight and a Baron ; both father and mother died during the voyage to America, leaving their daughter, Barbara, in charge of young William Hoge, who placed her with her relations, the Johnstons, in the city of New York, whilst he decided to make his home at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, on land owned by a Scotch company, at the head of which was Governor Berkeley, and of which he was a member. Subsequently William Hoge returned to New York, married the girl Barbara Hume, who had been his protege, and from this rather romantic marriage a long line of distinguished men and women have written their names on history's page. After the birth of their first son, John, William and his young wife made their home for some time in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and John, when grown, married Miss Bowen, a Welch woman, and settled about nine miles west of Harrisburg and laid out the little village of Hogestown.
