Assembled the wives and children of James Hoge (1706-1795) to conform with The Family of Hoge

A compilation of the descendants of William Randolph of Turkey Island and his wife, Mary Isham of Bermuda Hundred

The Hyatt family of Maryland and their kin: the colonial generations of the Howard, Hammond, Maccubbin, Griffith, Greenberry, Dorsey, Van Sweringen, Baldwin, Gaither, Warfield and Duvall families

I see that under 'Mary Scrope' on your Rootsweb pages you record that she was born in 1528. Unfortunately, whatever your source, this is not true. There was at one time an inscription on the famous painting by Rowland Lockey (1593)of the family of Thomas More and Descendants which read: "Maria nata est in Hambletonia in Com. Buck. anno 25 H.8,1534." If you are not a Latin scholar this reads: "Mary born in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, in the 25th year of the Reign of Henry VIII, 1534." ...

8 Apr 2008 - I have been able to find absolutely nothing substantiating this James as the son of James Hoge married Agnes Crawford and Nancy Griffith. What I have found are three seperate genealogies on FamilySearch that appear to have been pasted together, with nothing more to substantiate it than wishfull thinking.

The ONLY source I have been able to find for James Hoge married Margaret Parks is FamilySearch AFN: 21B2-V9R. This source states that James Hogue was born in Scotland abt. 1730 (parents unknown), and his wife Margaret Parks was born in Antrim, Ireland abt. 1740 (parents unknown). It appears this James was 'merged' with James Hogg (AFN: BTF2-6P) born abt. 1750 in Lexington, Rockbridge, Virginia (wife unknown, parents unknown) in order to include his daughter Martha, married Thomas Gibson, and their descendents. And this then was pasted as a son James onto James Hoge (AFN: 4VFL-RP) b. 4 Jul 1706 in Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania (parents William Hoge & Barbara Hume) and his second wife Nancy Griffiths, b. abt. 1702 probably Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania (parents unknown). FamilySearch shows no children for James Hoge (AFN: 4VFL-RP) and Nancy Griffiths (AFN: CD81-R4).

While I think it's a good bet that this James Hogue born in Scotland about 1730 who married Margaret Parks born in Ireland about 1740 is probably a descendent of a brother or uncle of William Hoge and Barbara Hume who arrived at Perth Amboy in 1682, I do not think he's his son's son.

I unlinked James Hoge & Margaret Parks from their parents, and then deleted them and their descendents who did not show a relationship to me. This eliminated 314 individuals which you will find here. That leaves 561 individuals in my data sourced by Mary N. Triplett's My Hoge/Hogue Branch and it's [sic] related clans which you will find listed here. These appear to be mostly the Tennessee branch, the descendents of James Mayo and Barbara Brawley, and to be corroborated by other sources, which may have copied Triplett. I have decided to let them stand unless challenged.- JCC

It appears I accidently changed location "Alabama" to location "Mardisville, Talladega, Alabama, USA". This affected over 400 individuals. In other words, location "Mardisville, Talladega, Alabama, USA" should be location "Alabama". Thanks for alerting me to this error, I have now corrected my data published in this revision April 20, 2008.

The Family of Hoge on page 41 states James (e-318), son of Joseph Hoge (d-307) and 'a Brawley', had two sons in Congress. "One, Solomon, from South Carolina ... was born in 1836; was Comptroller of South Carolina." This is in error. That Solomon Hoge was born in Ohio for one thing, not Tennesse. He appears on the census for Zanesfield, Ohio in 1860; 23 years old, living with his parents, working as an attorney, the 2nd of 10 children. His parents are Solomon Gore Hoge (abt. 1818-?) and Julia Ann Janney (abt. 1816-?). He is listed as "S.L." And that makes him my 4th cousin 4 times removed rather than my 1st cousin 4 times removed. It also makes him the great-grandson of Solomon Hoge who married Mary Nichols mentioned below in ADDITIONS under The families of Thomas and Mary (Ludford) Nichols.

Thanks Mary. If you've seen a page of The Randolph Family Tree there's no need to explain. If you haven't I wouldn't know where to begin. Corrections have been made and will be in the next revision. Thanks again.

Thomas and Mary were ministers of The Society of Friends. They fled England in 1712. Their son Isaac founded the Goose Creek Meeting (near Lincoln, Loudon County, Virginia) in 1749. Their great-grandson William's farm at Cherry Fork (near Columbiana, Ohio) was a station on the Underground Railroad. William and his 2nd wife widow Cassandra Swayne (born Brown) were ministers of The Society of Friends. They were also seperatists (Hicksites).

Solomon Hoge's 2nd wife was Mary Nichols, the granddaughter of Thomas & Mary, and the aunt of William. Solomon Hoge's daughters Mary and Nancy by his first wife Ann Rollings married his second wife Mary Nichol's brothers Isaac and Samuel. Solomon's daughter Nancy Hoge's 1st husband was George Nichols, cousin of her father's 2nd wife Mary Nichols. Nancy's brother Isaac married George's sister Elizabeth. Solomon Hoge's son Jesse married Elizabeth Gregg and his daughter Lydia married Joshua Gregg. Solomon, my 1st cousin 7 times removed, was the grandson of William Hoge and Barbara Hume.

A History and Genealogy of the Bards of "Carroll's Delight" together with a Chronicle of The Bards and genealogies of The Bard Kinship

The descendants of James Hogue of Paulding County, Georgia.

The McGee's genealogy shows three connections to Hoges. Elizabeth Hoge, daughter of James Mayo Hoge and Elizabeth Howe married James Alexander (William?) Foster. Joseph Harbard Hoge married Virginia Foster. And, James Mayo Hoge married Nancy Gillespie Kelly.

J. P. Hoge followed the 49ers to San Francisco in 1853. He came from Illinois with his wife, their children, and his wife's father the Honorable Thomas C. Browne who was a judge in Illinois Territory and, after Illinois achieved statehood, on the Supreme Court continuously for 30 years. Also in the party were J. P. Hoge's law partner Samuel Wilson and his family. Sam was described as: "the conservative San Francisco lawyer. Counselor to banks and railroads, self-made and immensely rich, a bar association founder and Director of Hastings College of the Law ... dryly correct, tenancious, and thorough, he could exhaust the most ardent reformer." They were a formidable team and by 1860 Joseph had acquired a half interest in the Mexican or Spanish Mine on the Comstock Lode. "The Mexican Mine, along with the Ophir and the Gould and Curry Mines, turned out to be one of the largest and richest of the Comstock Lode's major mines." He was founding chairman of the board of directors of the San Francisco bar and of Hastings School of Law in San Francisco. He was President of the California Constitutional Convention of 1878-9, where the constitution was drafted that is in effect in California today.

His youngest daughters Blanche and Octavia were permanent residents of The Palace Hotel. They never married and told the census taker they were 30 years old for 40 years. His son George was a murderer. His daughter Josephine married San Francisco District Attorney A. C. Hellman. His daughter Pauline married Delphin Delmas. In 1887, Delphin built the Casa Delmas Winery in Mountain View; a 500,000 gallon winery. In 1901, he lead the effort to establish Big Basin state park in California. One month after he addressed the legislature a bill was passed establishing the preserve. In 1904 D. M. nominated William Randolph Hearst at the Democratic Convention in St. Louis. In 1908 D. M. Delmas was lawyer for the defense in the trial of Harry Thaw, dubbed the Trial of The Century . In 1955 Joan Collins starred in "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing" about this trial. More recently it was adapted for "Ragtime".

Antoine Delmas was Delphin's father. "One of the important family names in the history of wine in northern California, Antoine Delmas came to Caisson in 1849 and established a nursery in San Jose in 1851. The next year, he imported the first French wine-grape vines to the state. The collection included vines labeled Cabrunet, Merleau, and Black Meunier. He also brought in European vinifera varieties from nurseries in New England, one variety arriving as the Black St. Peter's which turned out to be ZINFANDEL. He was also a pioneer in advocating the use of elemental sulfur to fight powdery mildew. In 1860 he imported some of the first authentic European winery and distillery equipment. He is less kindly remembered as the first to import French snails to California, today the ubiquitous California brown snail." Nelty Delmas, the daughter of Antoine's son Joseph, married Henry le Franc, son of Charles le Franc who was the first winemaker in northern California to import European stock (vitis vinifera) to produce the varietal wines familiar today. Henry's sister Louise la Franc married Paul Masson.

In 1930 Antoine's grand-daughter Antoinette Irma Hoge Delmas (Delphin's daughter and my 5^th cousin three times removed) appeared on the Census for Los Angeles as the partner of widow Hope Bingham. They lived at 1826 Whitley Avenue. The neighbors bear out that this was the heart of old Hollywood. Around the corner (the next family on the census in dwelling 53) at 6550 Grace Avenue were Arthur Appell and his family. The Internet Movie Database credits him with choreography for 7 films from 1930 through 1943. Among these, he was assistant to Mr. Connolly in the Wizard of Oz in 1939 and choreographer for Citizen Kane in 1941. The next household on the census is Franklin A. Almstead at 1833 ½ Whitley Avenue. His stage name was Eric Alden and he worked as an actor in 46 films from The Scarlet Empress with Marlene Dietrich in 1934 to Have Gun Will Travel: The Poker Fiend with Jack Weston in 1960. Next door at 1828 Whitley were Mary Q. Wolger, 38, married at 18, widowed, relationship "head"; and Jane R. Cowan, 31, married (?), relationship "partner", married at 28. They were both hairdressers.

I made several global changes. I noticed people who were still living were designated as dead because I wasn't paying attention to the "living" flag when I was adding data, so I told my software to set everyone that was born less than 90 years ago with no death or burial date to "living". This also set everyone to "living" that doesn't have any birth or death dates and affected 2,000-3,000 individuals. I also made some cosmetic changes to the source citations, which affected pretty much every record in the database.

I've reduced the paramaters of what's displayed in What's New from 90 days and 500 items per category to 30 days and 100 items per category. There are lists in the Reports that will give you every change per 30-day interval going back 180 days.

I have also begun to note there what I'm working on so that will be the place to go to get the most current information about changes and additions. About twice a year I expect I'll be moving the items from What's New onto this page for permanent reference.

I finally got around to checking out The Next Generation's Most Wanted feature and really like it. I've added some items already and will be adding more as they occur to me. What are your most wanted items?

I received a challenge from Frederick Saunders regarding the ancestry of Matthew Howard (1609-1659), which I had noted as dubious above. So that connection has been severed, with an explanation in the Research Notes.

I've spent some time deciphering what I can of the scan I have of Lucina Hoge's genealogy of the Solomon Hoge branch, and added 300 or more Hoges in the process. In many cases I was able to extend her tree into (more or less) modern times as many of the families are documented in the U.S. Census. Most, if not every last one of them, were Quakers.

"Living" Garrett seems to think two of his ancestors married two of my ancestors, and I think he's right. He sent me the death certificate for (presumably) my great-grand aunt Mrs. Fannie Garrett, which cites "unknown Canada" as her father. This matches my uncle Pat's genealogy, which showed "unknown Garrett" as Fannie's husband, who was the brother of Benjamin Frank Garrett who married Fannie's sister Martha Caroline Canada. And it appears my 1st cousin 4 times removed Nancy Cannady married Benjamin's 1st cousin twice removed, Darius Garrett. "Living" Garrett also sent The Descendents of Gerald Fitzwalter de Windsor.

"In 1906 while at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the famous neurosurgeon Dr. Harvey Cushing became interested in the descendants of William Brown, a Scotsman who immigrated to America and settled in Virginia about 1740. Over the next ten years Dr. Cushing gathered information about the family, and in 1916 published the family tree in the first issue of Genetics. His report was a paper on the inheritance and nature of the trait stiff fingers, an unusual but harmless condition characteristic of some members of the family. The scientific name he gave the condition was symphalangism."

Mrs. J. Nan Hoge Bowen, Mrs. Joseph Stafford Moss, Mr. Francis Moss Hoge, Mrs. Elenor Morehead, Mr. William S. Winfrey, Mrs. J. C. Fuller, Mrs. H. A. Lattimore, Mrs. Floyd Reaves and others contributed to this genealogy.

I received a scan of the purported will of Agnus Hoge that has been causing all the commotion and have included it, along with a transcription, on her page. However, I have not been able to find it listed in any index, and most particularly it is not listed in Virginia Wills & Administrations 1632-1800 published by the Genealogical Publishing Company in 1972 which purports to be an index of every Virginia will and inventory from 1632 to 1800 that was existing at the time of publication. So before I waste any time speculating on what the will may or may not mean, I want to see some proof it is legitimate and not a hoax.

I finally got around to adding the first half of the book, primarily the descendents of Major John Welsh (1670-1684) but also a lot of Griffiths, Warfields and Duvalls. This completes the addition of Ancestral Colonial Families to my database.

Since Captain James Withers (1680/1-1746) married my 1^st cousin 10 times removed Elizabeth Keene, all their descendents are cousins. This completes the addition of Withers America to my database.

Noticing several Hoges in the Tennessee branch had "Mayo" in their names I went through the Bolling Batte Cards looking for a connection. I now have 187 Mayos in my data, none of them intermarried with the Hoges that I can see, though they are somewhat related through Jane Poythress (1773-1837), my 12^th cousin 7 times removed.
