22 Dec 2009 – A FamilySearch International Genealogical Index file that does not cite any source other than that it was submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church shows James, Rachel Zuritha, Susanna, Edward Stephen, Daniel, and Sarah Stafford Hoge to be children of Edward Hoge & Susan Montgomery.
The Family of Hoge shows them to be the last 6 of 10 children by Edward Hoge & Elizabeth Brown. It shows Edward Junior who married Susan Montgomery to be the 1st of these 10 children, and born 30 years prior to the next, which was Moses.
The Brayton Collection at the Santa Cruz Library shows Edward Senior who married Elizabeth Brown to have died before 1793, before the birth of Edward Junior and after the birth of Moses. He would have been about 40-45 years of age in 1793, based on the year of the birth of his brother Moses, which was 1752.
If Edward Senior was born abt. 1750, he would have been 22 at the birth of Edward Junior in 1772 who married Susan Montgomery in 1802.
If Edward Senior did not die before 1793 he would have been Abt. 53 at the birth of Moses and Abt. 69 at the birth of Sarah Stafford. His wife Elizabeth would have been likely a few years younger, but still at least 60 at the birth of the last child and 50 at the birth of Moses; certainly possible, but not likely.
After Moses, The Family of Hoge shows two more children of Edward Hoge Senior & Elizabeth Brown before it gets to James Hoge, which it lists as their 5th child. These are Joseph Montgomery Hoge and Elizabeth Brown Hoge. Joseph Montgomery certainly appears to be named after Susan Montgomery and, given the prominence of Edward Junior's uncle Moses Drury Hoge it would make sense for them to name their first child after him.
So there are many reasons to suppose that not just James and the 5 after him, but Moses, Joseph Montgomery, and Elizabeth Hoge were children of Edward Hoge Junior & Susan Montgomery.
The FamilySearch International Genealogical Index record shows James as the first of six children by Edward Hoge & Susan Montgomery. This record shows no wives or children for any of them. It is the only record on FamilySearch for this family.
Previously this database contained duplicates of the children in question, except they weren't really duplicates. The James, Rachel, Susan, Edward, Daniel, and Sarah Hoge listed as children of Edward Hoge Junior & Susan Montgomery showed no spouses or children per the FamilySearch record.
Now, the duplicates have been merged, and all the children listed by The Family of Hoge as of Edward Senior & Elizabeth, except for Edward Junior, are now children of Edward Junior and Susan Montgomery.
Genealogically speaking, and so far as anyone living is concerned, the difference amounts to 1 remove, more or less. Should compelling evidence present itself that these 9 children are by Edward Senior & Elizabeth Brown, the database will be revised to reflect this.
That the FamilySearch record does not list Moses, Joseph Montgomery, and Elizabeth Brown Hoge among the children of Edward Hoge & Susan Montgomery argues against its reliability.
That The Family of Hoge shows 2 Edwards as children of Edward Hoge & Susan Montgomery, the second born 43 years after the first, argues against it's reliability.
