Family William Hoge, Junior, b. Abt 1701, Pennsylvania Province (now Deleware) , d. 13 Apr 1789, Winchester City, Virginia (Age ~ 88 years)

Alt. Marriage 9 Feb 1722/23 Richland Friends Meeting, Quakertown, Bucks, Pennsylvania [7, 9, 10, 11, 16]

Married 9 Apr 1723 Opequon, Frederick, Virginia [8]

The preface of Early Friends families of Upper Bucks says: "Due allowance must be made also for dates prior to March, 1752, which were 'Old Style'. March before that date being the first month of the year. We have used the numerals as we found them."

Nevertheless, The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families, which credit Early Friends for the dates it gives for this family, have the date of their acceptance at Richland Monthly Meeting as 16 Apr 1748, and make similar errors with the rest of their dates. The date in Early Friends is "4 mo. 16, 1748" which translates to 16 Jun 1748.

(Quakers object to the pagan origin of the names of most of the months and therefore designate them with numbers.)

In short, the dates (prior to March 1752) sourced by Quaker Meeting Records, Early Friends Families, and Pioneers of Old Frederick County are correct. Other sources appear to have failed to account for the change in Quaker dating.

Additionally, the Ancestry.com index of the Richland Monthly Meeting record for this family shows the birth location of the children as Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This is the location of the Meeting House where the information was recorded and not (necessarily) where they were born.

William & Ann were members of the Opequon Friends Meeting in Frederick County until they moved to Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1748 and transferred to the Richland Friends Meeting. The Opequon Friends Meeting became the Hopewell Friends Meeting. All the early records of the Opequon Meeting were lost in a fire in 1759.
[2, 8]

Alt. Marriage 9 Apr 1723 [3, 12, 17]

Children 7 children [18, 19]

James, William, Solomon, George, Joseph, Zebulon, and Nancy.

Move 16 Apr 1748 Villas of Middletown, Bucks, Pennsylvania [2, 12]

Their certificate of membership in the Quaker Church from Opequan Monthly Meeting was received at the Richland Monthly Meeting.

Move 16 Jun 1748 Richland Friends Meeting, Quakertown, Bucks, Pennsylvania [8]

It is noteworthy that the left page has their marriage and children with birthdates, all before Mar 1752. And the death date for Ann is on a subsequent (facing) page by itself, after the Quakers changed their dating, from the 1st month being March to it being January.

Land Acquisition 26 Feb 1748/49 Richlandtown (Richland Manor), Bucks County, Pennsylvania [8]

by purchase from William Allen 100 acres

Land Relinquish 7 Nov 1757 Richlandtown (Richland Manor), Bucks County, Pennsylvania [8]

to their son William the 100-acre plantation

Move 1760 Virginia [2, 8]

Early Friends families - "All the male members of the family except Solomon returned to Virginia at about the latter date."

Tenmile Country - "Ann Hoge died in Bucks County March 21, 1759, and William Hoge returned to Virginia in 1760. His sons, James, William, Solomon, George, Joseph, and Zebulon Hoge, either went with him or had preceded him in the migration back to Virginia."

Notes

(Research):
Ancestry.com shows 1,324 family trees with a Nancy Ann Hayes b. 1700 married to William Hoge Junior and they all appear to reference a Find-A-Grave memorial that offers no supporting documentation or citation. Not even a snapshot of a headstone. Not even a grave.

Other than public member trees, there is no source for such a person.
None in Birth, Marriage, and Death
None in Social & Place Histories - which (to be fair) does show 4 hits, but none of them are for "Nancy Hayes".

Under Stories, Memories, & Histories there are 3 hits for The American Genealogical-Biographical Index but these are actually for Nancy Hawes b. 1700 Massachusetts.

There is also one hit for under "U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935", a record from Richland Monthly Meeting used by many to source "Nancy Ann Hayes", which is actually for "Ann Hoge", wife of William. There is no "Nancy" or "Hayes" anywhere in that record.

I suppose the ultimate authority on this topic would be Early Friends families of Upper Bucks County. A search of that source produced no hits for "nancy hayes". This was a 'soft' or 'fuzzy' search which should pick up anything sounding remotely similar.

It appears the origin of Nancy Ann Hayes was in a FamilySearch Pedigree Resource File submissted 18 Aug 2000 by Wayne O. Eslinger of Tampa, Florida. A more recent one, Submission: MMD2-JNL, by Jerry L. Young has Nancy Ann Hayes as her own mother, wife of William Hoge and daughter of the same William & Barbara Hume. What a mess!

She also appears in a FamilySearch Ancestral File (AFN: 2XSQ-9S1) as the wife of William Hoge b. 1708 son of William Hoge & Anne Rollings. Most sources have Ann Rollings as the wife of William Junior's son Solomon Hoge.

Grandon Genealogy originally showed William Junior's wife to be simply "Ann", but later changed it to "Ann Hyle", and that is why I showed her name to be "Ann Hyle" for many years but in Jan 2017 changed her preferred name to just "Ann". At the same time I also deleted Nancy Ann Hoge, shown as wife of William Hayes, as a daughter of this family and also deleted all their descendants.

This Nancy Ann Hoge, who purportedly married William Hays, has her birth date given as 1740, the same year as Ann Hoge who married Robert Everard. Thus, she could not be a daughter of William Junior's other wife Mary Pancoast.
