William Hoge, sometimes spelled Hogue, was born in Musselboro, Berwickshire, Scotland, a small town on the seashore about 50 miles south of Edinburgh, in 1660, and died near Winchester, Virginia in 1750, at the age of 90. It is claimed by some writers that his father, James Hoge, was the son of George Hoge, a Huguenot from Le Hogue, Normandy, France, in about 1600, and that the name of Hoge is derived from the town of La Hogue near Cherbourg, the scene of a battle many years ago.

He came to America in 1682 in the ship Caledonia to Perth Amboy, New Jersey, as a young man, and there came on the same ship a Sir James Hume from the same place in Scotland, who was the son of gentry and was well off. He was related to the Humes of Nine Wells and Lord Hume or Home, Earl of Home, and was related to David Hume, the great Historian and author. With Hume on the ship was his wife and duaghter, Barbara. The man and his wife died on the voyage and Barbara was left an orphan and went with an uncle, Dr. Johnson of Perth Amboy. William Hoge afterward married Barbara in 1695.

They lived for a time, at least until 1708, in New Jersey, and in 1734 they moved to Chester County PA, where he bought land. The next year, 1735, he and his family except the eldest son John, went with the Joist Hite party of settlers to Frederick, MD. He built a cabin and settled on a branch of the Opican (Opequan) River, called Hogue's Run, near Winchester, VA, (at present day Kernstown, VA) in 1735. He gave land for a church there in 1745. He lived on this farm until his death.

They had five sons and several daughters. John, who remained in Pennsylvania, William, who moved to Loudoun County, VA and became a Quaker, Alexander, a lawyer of Winchester, VA, James, who settled in Frederick, MD, and George who was a member of the first court of Frederick County and afterward moved to North Carolina. A daughter married Dr. Robert White of Winchester.

William Hoge (c1660-1749)
Born in Musselburgh, Scotland, fifty miles south of edinburgh, he emigrated in 1683 aboard the "Caledonia", landing at perth amboy, New Jersey. In 1710 he bought 1000 acres for five shillings in Nottingham, Chester county, PA. Occupation: tailor. In 1729 he removed to Opequon Creek, a branch of the Potomac river, Frederick County VA, where in 1735 he held a patent of 401 acres near Winchester at Kernstown, along Highway 11. His house, now gone, was on the site of the Pritchard House, built in 1850 and standing in 1963 *(1). In 1744 he obtained a license to keep an ordinary *(2). His will was written 17 april 1729 and proved 15 November 1749. He was buried in Opequon Presbyterian Cemetery, Kernstown. he was married twice: (1) Barbara hume, an immigrant also aboard the "Caledonia"; (2) Mary ____.

Admitted for probate Wednesday Nov. 15, 1749, in Frederick County, VA.

At the close of the 17th Century, a young man by the name of William Hoge left Scotland and came to America. With him came his two brothers, Peter, who settled in New York and Solomon, who settled in New York and Solomon, who came to Pennsylvania, but later to Virginia. See Hoge 1591.txt for source

William served as a member of the House of Deputies of the New Jersey Assembly in 1688. the following year he removed to the three lower counties of Penn's Province (now Delaware).
William Hoge "of County of Monmouth in the Eastern Division of New Jersey a taylor" purchased 1000 acres of land 11 Nov 1710 on a branch of the Elk River in East Nottingham Twp, Chester County, Pennsylvania (Chester Co Deed Book D 1710-Pg. 312). Taxes were not recorded in Chester County until 1719. William Hoge appears on these records until 1735.

After 1729 and before 1735, Hoge moved again, this time to a branch of Opequon Creek (nemed Hoge Run) at present-day kernstown, VA. It may be that William Hoge actually preceded Joist Hite into the Shenandoah Valley. He did have land granted to him that was separated from those awarded Hite.

In 1745 William conveyed to the trustees of Opequon Presbyterian church (located at Kernstown) "for five shillings... two acres... near the presbyterian Meeting house where it now stands on the Land of said William Hogg, Sr...A burying place together with Timber sufficient from any part of the Hoggs Land to repair the Meeting house." He did not, as frequently stated, donate the church lot. His Virginia will was filed and recorded in Frederick Co, Aug 1749, but was never probated.

Came to America from Berwick, Scotland in 1682; settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey; married Barbara Hume, 1670-1745, who also came from Berwick, Scotland, to America on the same voyage in 1682; about 1688 removed, with his wife and infant son, John, to the Three Lower Counties of PA's Provence (now the state of Delaware) where the later children were born; early in the eighteenth century resettled in chester County, PA.; in 1735 removed to Frederick Co, VA (Kernstown about three miles south of Winchester.).

From the reference above:
Here is a Copy of a letter received by Mr. F.L. Hoge
Uniontown, PA
August 31, 1880
Mr. F.L. Hoge
Wheeling, W. VA.

Dear Sir:
I have to thank you for your favor of yesterday. You are no doubt acquainted with the romantic history and marriage of William Hoge and Barbara Hume, so I will not repeat it. He was from Musselburg, and she from Paisley, Scotland. His father was Sir James Hoge, her father was a Knight and a Baron, and nearly related to the Royal House of Stuart of Scotland, so this takes you back to King Robert the Second of Scotland, born about 1300.
The Rev. William Henry Foot of Romney, W. Va., in his "Sketches of Virginia", second series, gives a pretty full account of the descendents of William Hoge and Barbara Hume, but he mistakes many particulars. He makes your ancester, William (the Quaker), the oldest son; this is a mistake; their oldest son was John, who never moved to VA. They lived in chester co., PA., and while the father and the balance of the family moved to the Valley of VA., about 1735, or before, John, the oldest son, moved to the Cumberland Valley, about nine miles west of Harrisburg, and settled in village of Hogestown now stands, owned a large body of land, and lived and died there about 1752. While the family lived in chester Co., John married Gwenthloon Bowen, a Welch woman, whole your ancestor, william, married a Quaker. John had four sons, John and four sons, John, Bunyan, Jonathan, and David, and four daughters. Of the daughters I will say nothing now, it would make the story too long; enough to say that names of their descendants have been distinguished both in church and state.
John was the Rev. John Hoge, who first preached at Opequan church near kernstown, where his grandfather lived, as mentioned by Dr. Foot; he left no issue. Bunyan died young. Jonathan was a prominent man in Cumberland Co., when all this part of PA. was Cumberland co., and through the Indian, Catfish, became the owner of the land where the town of Washington, PA now stands.
David's two sons, John and William, in 1782 came to Washington and laid out the town of Washington, see Dr. Creigh's history of Washington co.), and there they both lived and died, both distinguished men. william was a member of congress during Jefferson's entire administration, and died in 1814. If you are in Washington, got to the old graveyard and see his tombstone. John was also in Crongress, and held many important offices in PA. He died in 1823 leaving no issue. David was Receiver of Public money at the land office at Steubenville, OH, from the beginning to the end of that office at that place, and died there in 1845, leaving several sons and daughters. the only son now living is Joseph, a lawyer, who is in San Moreno Co., CA. He resided at one time in IL, and was a member of Congress from that state from 1842 to 1846, representing the Galena district. He afterward went to CA. Jonathan moved to near Morgantown, W. VA., had tow sons and died there. One son moved to southern Illinois and died, leaving several children. The other son lives in or near Washington, PA.
Amy, a daughter of David Hoge, married Alex Blaine. they had several children. Squire Blaine (not Fph.) lived and died at washington, PA. A descendent lived in Wheeling, named Simms, and the only survivor of that branch, L.Q.R. Laidly, lived a few years ago in Charlestown, W. VA., and may be still there. L. Halsey Wells, cashier of the Second nat. Bank, Pittsburg, is a descendent; George Shiras, the distinguished lawyer of Pittsburg was another, and many other whom you and your brother no doubt know. This Mrs Blaine is the only one of David's daughters who left many descendents. Jane Hoge, another daughter, married Captain James Blaine; she died shortly after marriage without issue. Her husband then married a Miss Lyon, and they were the grandparents of Senator James Blaine whom we all know. The other daughter of David Hoge, married the rev. Samuel Waugh, of Silver's Spring, Cumberland Co. She had several children, but they are all dead. the third daughter, Mary, married Dr. John Hoge Irwin, and their daughter, my wife, is the only descendent of that branch, and she was born in Wheeling.
William Hoge and Barbara Hume have sons. John, William, Alexander, James, and George. We have disposed of John and William. Alexander became a lawyer of eminence, lived near Winchester, was a member of the first Congress of the U.S., and of the Virginia convention that adopted the constitution of the US.
James was the father of the Rev. Moses Eoge, the distinguished divine, and who was the ancestor of the several preachers of the name in many parts of the country, including the present Rev. Moses Hoge of Richmond, VA, and Rev. James Hoge of Columbus, OH.
George Hoge moved to North Carolina. Do you know to which of the families Judge Hoge of Martinsburg, W.VA, belongs? It seems that most of the descendents come from the through the son William, your ancestor, more than all the balance put together.
The little old church at Opequan was burnt down since the war. I think in remembrance of their ancestor, William Hoge, who had the first one built, (this is the third one), the Hoges out to rebuild it. The little school house is still standing, one hundred years old; the burying ground is in good repair. I have a copy of the deed which William Hoge made for the ground on which the church, the school house and the graveyard are, dated Feb. 19, 1745.
I will be glad to have the Princeton Reviews to which you refer. This has been written "Currente Calamo", so you must excuse it.
Very truly yours,
D. Kaine

Again refer to the same reference listed above, pg. 4-9
We doubt if another family has given so many ministers of the gospel or men of prominence in all church, scholastic and benevolent works. We have been able to count among the names we have secured over fifty ministers of the gospel. eighteen have been chosen as members of congress, not to mention many who have been nominated for this position, and the list is quite large of those who have been senators, judges, foreign ministers, governors, etc., etc...
And let it be remembered with especial pride and pleasure that among the long list of names that have been obtained, not against a single one is there known a charge of unlawful behavior. Even the number of those who have been given to the use of intoxicating drink could be counted on the fingers of one's hands.
Surely this is not a family to be ashamed of! Some may be, or may have been poor and may have dropped somewhat in the social scale, but they have been honest, and let the poor but honorable ones be esteemed as highly as those who have won honor and distinction.
A very able and cultivated member of the family, thomas C. Hoge, of New York, in writing to Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D.D., says with commendable pride, "There is no grander or nobler lineage in this or any other country than this one and my researches warrant me in saying that I know of none to equal it. in our earlier history, our ancestors-were princes and gentlemen, noble not only in blood, but noble of soul; and generation after generation, through centuries of time, have come and passed away, each leaving the same unwavering record of high lofty character, undeviating Christian principles, humble faith and devotion and social supremacy, which neigher change of time nor circumstance nor condition could deteriorate. It is a curious fact that the underlying characteristics of the family appear to have always the same."
Let us take a quotation from the life of the most eminent representative of the family, and in my opinion the greatest man taking him all around, I ever knew, Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D.D. In his live, written by his able and distinguished neqhew, Rev. Peyton Harrison Hoge, D.D., we have the following words: "When a noble name is borne by the ignoble man, it only serves to make its owner contemptible. But there is a pride of ancestry that awakens responsibility; that stimulates endeavor; that purifies motive and shapes life to noble ends. consciousness of 'whence' we are may largely determine 'what' we are. But apart from conscious influence is not the 'whence' a true cause of 'what'? Great men often arise from very obscure origin, but the historian and biographer are never satisfied until they have traced back the extra ordinary qualities of their hero to a source that is none tha less real because it is obscure.
It takes many streams to make the river and the virtues of many lowly men and women struck together in happy combination to give the world the assurance of a man; when the streams are on the surface and the samequalities can be traced for generation our task in plainer and our reward surer. And when natural virtues are exalted by divine grace, we can rejoice not only in the fixedness of nature's laws, but, what is far better the sureness of the covenant promise of God."
The Hoges and the Humes are both families of great antiquity in the south of Scotland. Variations in spelling occured in both names. For example Hoge, Haig, Haigh, Hage and Hogue are all descendants of Petrus deHaga. According to authority, George P. Donchoo, Editor in Chief, "Pennsylvania - A History biographical", the family is of French origin, having been established in the north of France by William Hogue. that was the spelling of the surname until some of the family, to escape persecution for their religious beliefs, emigrated to Holland and spelled their name 'Hague'. Afterward (during the Twelfth century) part of the family went to Scotland (and adopted the spelling 'deHaga'). the baronage of Scotland published in 1798 states that "in our ancient records (beginning in the 12th Century) the name is written 'deHaga'". Some authors are of the opinion that they are of pictish extraction; other think that they are descendants of the ancient Britons; but as we cannot by good authority pretend to trace them to their origin, we shall insist no further upon traditional history and proceed to deduce their descent by undisputable documents.
The first authentic records we have are the petrus dehaga, who was proprietor of the lands and barony of Bemerside in Berwickshire, lived in the reigns of king Malcolm IV and William the Lion, which last succeeded to the Crown of Scotland in the year 1165 and died in 1214.
In a donation of Richard deMorville, constable of Scotland, of the Chapel of St. Leonards in lauderdale, to the monastery of Dryburg, petrus deHaga de Bemerside is a witness. This mortification has no date but as Richard was constable from 1162 to 1188 it must have been within that space.
Contemporary with petrus lived perticus of petrus-Odell deHaga who is a witness in a charter of confirmation of the same Richard deMorville the constable of the land of Carfrae, etc., to Sir Henry Sinclair, anno 1188.
In the same era lived also Henry deHaga who is said to have been killed in the expedition made by King William against Harold, Earl of Caithriefs in 1199.
What connection these had with one another we know not but Petrus of Bemerside appears to have died about the year 1200 and was succeeded by his son, Petrus deHaga, second baron of Bemerside.
then follows a succession form father to son in a direct male line to James haig of Bemerside, the eighteenth baron of this family.
Sir Andrew Haig, sixth baron of Bemerside, who had the honor of Knighthood conferred upon him by King Robert III, was the first to adopt the spelling, 'Haig', which is still in use. In 1425, also during the time of Sir Andrew Haig, sixth baron of Bemerside, we find the first use of the spelling 'Hoge' in the names of Patrick Hoge and Gilbert Hoge, named among the gentlemen who 'devydit the marches betwixt Ridbeth and Bemersyde, Sir Andrew Haig (sixth baron of Bemerside) presiding.'
The conclusion that the names are the same, that Hoge is only another variant of Haga or Haig and that the Hoges as well as the Haigs, all of the same neighborhood, are descendents of petrus deHaga who came form Normandy about 1150, is supported by the National Cyclopaedia of American Biography with the statement (p. 463, Vol. K) that "William Hoge (Haig) who came to America in the seventeenth century was descended from the Haigs of Bemersyde, Berwick, Scotland, celebrated for centuries by the poets."
Governor Tyler says "this Peter of the Dyke, probably from Cape de la hague in Normandy, founded an honorable family, early associated with the cause fo liberty and patriotism: --
For 'When Wallace came to Gladwood Cross Haig of Bemersyde met him with many good horse'
And before the battle of Stirling, the Laird of Bemersyde was reassured by his friend, Thomas the Rhymer with the prophecy which still holds good:
'Tyde what may betyde Haig shall be Haig of Bemerside'
or as Sir Walter Scott puts it - who derived his right to be buried in Dryburgh Abbey from his descent from the Haigs -
'Tide betide whate'er betide Haig shall be Haig of Bemersyde'.
The Humes with whom we shall later find the Hoge Family in Politics, " for his master's degree says that his research "followed a trail through the American Revolution, the Pennsylvania constitutional conventions and the legislatures of the state and the nation" confirms the fact that "in Scotland the Hoges and the Humes were closer than mere neighbors. they were nearer to each other than clansmen."
Sir Alexander Home, who lived in 1424 and who is stiled in ancient records as Founder of Douglas, is the common ancestor of the noble Home family and of Home of Ninewell's from whom, as stated in 'The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy - First Families of America, 'Bargara Hume is descended.
David Hume, the celebrated Scotch historian and philosopher, also descended from Home of Ninewells, and the estate in Berwickshire, on the banks of the white adder called Ninewells - from the spring rising in front of the dwelling house - came into his hands.
On the Blackadder about three miles to the south of Greenlaw, Berwickshire, the ruin of Hume Castle, founded in the 13th century, occupies a commanding site. Captured by the English in 1547, in spite of Lady Home's gallant defence, it was retaken two years afterward, only to fall again in 1569. After its surrender to Cromwell in 1650, it gradually decayed. Toward the close of the 18th century the 3rd earl of Marchmont had the walls rebuilt out of the old stones and the castle, through a mere shell of the original structure is now a picturesque ruin.
Earlston (formerly Ercildune, of which it is a corruption), Berwickshire, Scotland, is situated on Leader Water about four miles northeast of Melrose. When the place was a hamlet of rude huts, it was called Aircoldun or "Prospect Fort" with reference to Black Hill (1003 ft.) on top of which may yet be traced the concentric rings of the British fort by which it was crowned. It is said to be possible to make out the remains of the cave dwellings of the Ottadeni, the aborigines of the district. In the 12th and 13th centuries the Lindsays and the earls of March and Dunbar were the chief baronial families. The particular link with the remote past, however, is the ivy clad ruin of the ancient tower, "The Rhymer's Castle," the traditional residence of Thomas Learmont, commonly called Thomas of Ercildoune, or Thomas the Rhymer, poet and prophet and friend of the fairies, who was born here about 1225. Rhymers Tower was crumbling to pieces, and its stones were being used in the erection of dykes, cottages and houses, when the Edinburgh Border Counties Association acquired the relic and surrounding lands in 1895 and took steps to prevent further decay.
Some three miles away is the estate of Bemersyde, said to have been in the possession of the Haigs for nearly 1000 years. The prospect from Bemersyde Hill was Sir Walter Scott's favorite view. The castle at Bemersyde was erected in 1535 to secure the peace of the Border. For his great service during World War I, General Douglas Haig was raised to the peerage as Earl Haig and Baron Haig of Bemersyde and was given a grant of one hundred thousand pounds. The Order of Merit was purchased by national subscription and presented to him.
"Sir Alexander Home, Founder of Dunglass, was grandfather to Alexander the first Lord Home and father of Thomas Home of Tynningham who was the great grandfather of George Home of Ninewells, the first of that family. The Homes of Ninewells held the lands and mansion house of Ninewells during the 15th century, under charter from the family of Home, as their principal property and family feat, which the lineal descendents have uninterruptedly enjoyed since that time. They are now held by the present representative under charter from the Crown". Sir Herbert Maxwell goes on to say in his 'History of the House of Douglas,' that "We have not been able to trace the immediate descendents of George Home, the first person who took title to Ninewells, but the family memoirs memtion the ten following descents:
Andrew Home 1569; David, son of Andrew 1576; John, brother of David 1606; Andrew 1613; David, son of Andrew 1629; John, son of David 1678; John 1691; Joseph, son of John 1697; John, son of Joseph 1709; Joseph, son of John.
The alliances of this family by marriage appearing form contracts of marriage still preserved are with the families of Belsches of Tofts in 1620; Johnstone (Upon Barbara Hume's arrival in America she went to live with Dr. Johnston, an uncle residing in New York.) (Johnsons) of Hilton in 1678; Lork Halkerton in 1708; Carre of Cavers, 1751.
David Hume (1711-1776) the historian, is said to be the first member of the family who altered the orthography of the surname to 'Hume' but it should be noted that the signature of David Hume (1560-1636) of Godscroft appears in Sir Huerbert Maxwell's "History of the House of Douglas" as 'David Houme' and 'D. Hume.'
Governor Tyler recalls a beautifully engrossed book containing the family history and coat of arms that remained in the possession of the Pennsylvania branch of the Hoge family in this country within the memory of members of the family who were still living at the time of his writing. However, in the absence of written evidence, he omits the interesting details recalled by some and confines himself to the well-established story of the founding of the family in this country.
Returning then to Governor Tyler's manuscript, "About the close of the seventeenth century (1682) a young man named William Hoge, son of sir James Hoge, who was a son of George Hoge, a son of Sir John Hoge of Musselboro, Scotland, evidently in good circumstances, came to America on account of the religious persecution under the Stuarts.

Notes for BARBARA HUME:
Buried in Kernstown/Frederick/VA/ Opequon Cem

**Continued from her husband, William Hoge's notes.
In the same ship, the Caledonia, was a family named Hume from Paisley, Scotland, father mother and daughter Barbara by name. Hume was one of two brothers, men of wealth and standing, who differed on the great questions of the day. One of the brothers conformed, the other James, was true to the Kirk and the Covenant. he was imprisoned and most of his property confiscated, but through the influence of his brother was released on condition of his emigrating to America. Sir James Hum's father was a knight and a Baron and nearly allied to the House of Stuart, thus tracing back to Robert Bruce.
During the long voyage a pestilenco broke out in the overcrowded ship and Mr. and Mrs. Hume were among the victims. Barbara was left along and William Hoge became her protector. he delivered her into the hands of an uncle, a physician named Johnson (Johnston), who was already in New York, and went to perth Amboy to make a home for himself. But it was not a final farewell; an attachment had sprung up between them, and in due time he returned to claim her as his wife."
Incidentally, when William Penn was his eleven associates bought the land now comprising the state of New Jersey, the first governor under the Proprietors was Robert Barclay, one of the original purchasers, who was a Scotchman and a Quaker. under him many Scotch settled in the Province. The "History and Register of Ancestors and Members of the Colonial Dames of America" (1892-1930) records the fact that William Hoge was a member of the House of Deputies in the New Jersey Assembly, 1688.
In 1688, while they were still living in Perth Amboy, their first child, a son John, was born to William and Barbara Hoge. Also in this year the family removed to a new home in Penn's Three Lower Counties which now comprise the state of Delaware. In notes and queries (Vol. 1, 1894) Egle, in writing about the Hoges of Hogestown, states that they moved from Penn's Three Lower counties to Lancaster County, PA. Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania biography states that they settled in the cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania. The fact of the matter is that they moved to East Nottingham township in chester County as evidenced by Chester County tax records 1718 to 1730 (See Hopewell Friends History - The Fathers of the Colony) and by William Hoge's last will now record in Frederick County Clerk's office, Winchester, Virginia, Will Book 1, pg 388:

Source: History of the Middle River Settlements, West virginia," by D.E. Johnson:
"William Hoge, distinguished in state and church, came to America in 1682, He was the son of Sir James Hoge of Scotland, who lived in Mlussleburg near Glasco. On board the Caledonia, the vessel that brought him over, was a family named Hume, consisting of a father, mother and daughter. They were Presbyterians, leaving Scotland to avoid the persecution.
The Homes were from Paisley Scotland. The father was a knight and a Baron. Both mother and father died during the voyage to America, leaving their daughter in charge of young William Hoge, who placed her with relatives, the Johnsons, in New York City, while he decided to make his home in Perth Amboy, New Jersey on land owned by a Scotch company, at the head of which was Gov. Berkley, and of which he was a member.
Later William Hoge returned to New York and married the girl Barbara Hume. After the birth of his first son, John, he and his wife made their home for some time in Chester co., PA."

Barbara and William later moved to Delaware, and then to Chester Co, PA, East Nottingham Township, before 1735 to Frederick Co., VA, where they located about 2 to 3 miles south of Winchester on the Great Wagon Road.
William Hoge died before August 8, 1749, when his will was filed and recorded in Frederick County Clerk's office. (Will Book 1, pp. 338-339).

William Hoge, progenitor of his line in America, was born in Scotland (1660). He came to America in 1682 and settled at Perth Amboy, new Jersey. (He was a member of the House of Deputies of the new Jersey Assembly in 1688). He removed to the Three Lower Counties of PA's Provence (now Delaware) in 1689; later to Chester County, PA; and in 1735 to Opequon, Kernstown (a suburb of Winchester), Frederick Co., VA, where he remained for the rest of his life. William Hoge married Barbara Hume.

From the same reference as above:
The Iowa Hoges, page 72

The following record, including data on the "Iowa Hoges" furnished by Mr. Emmett W. Hoge of Rte. 2, Springville, Iowa, 52336, was forwarded by Mr. B. H. Branch, Jr., after this work "went to press." Being far too important to omit, it is inserted at this point only as a matter of convenience.
This record gives 1667 as the year of Barbara (Hume) Hoge. Assuming 1667 was the year of Barbara's birth, the indicated birth dates are certainly within the realm of possibility and may very well be correct.
In so far as order of birth is concerned, it should be pointed out again that numbers given to the children in the foregoing record are, in many instances, based on the order in which they were named in wills; not necessarily in the order of birth. these numbers will be retained throughout this record regardless of conflict with the sequence of confirmed birth dates.
Again it should be noted that the following list of William and Barbara (Hume) Hoge's children differs from the children named in William's last will and testament. For example, his will does not include sons Solomon and Zebulon. this does not mean that they did not exist. It is possible, of course, that they died before 4/18/1729, the date on which the will was drawn. Likewise, the will does not mention a daughter Nancy. A son-in-law, Neal Thomson, is named in the will but his wife is not indentified. A daughter Joreber is named in the will.

Barbara Hume is, indeed, related to David Hume, the philosopher, she is his grand niece. She is also second cousin to Mary, Queen of Scots. Here is a little bit on Sir Patrick Hume, 1st Earl of Marchmont and Baron Polwarth--sometime lord chancellor of Scotland, b. Jan 13,1641, son and heir to Sir Patrick Hume, 1st Bart. of Polwarth(d. 1648), and descended from Sir David Home, of Wedderburn, living 1413, brother of Alexander Home of that ilk, ancestor of the Earl of Home. Sir Patrick was created Dec. 20,1690, Baron Polwarth, with remainder to the heirs male of his body and the heirs of the said heirs.

The above is from Burkes Peerage, the info below is from the Compendium of American Genealogy, and definitely sheds some light on why the Humes were exiled from Scotland. The only ones that were allowed to stay were extremely powerful people and had friends in the right places, as you will see of the above Sir Patrick.

His son George, born 1733 in Virginia, married Elizabeth Blackledge. (Ref: Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks PA", Clarence V. Roberts, 1925, repr. 1975 Gen. Pub co. of Baltimore, p. 69)

Lived in Winchester, VA., married a Quaker and embraced that faith; Source unknown
Was a devout Quaker, and his will indicates that he did not like his son in law because he was a Scoth-Irish Presbyterian.: Source "Bell-Hays Families in Greene Co, PA and Know County, Ohio, 1750-1987" copyright 1987 by John J. Evans, who examined "The Family of Hoge" by James Hoge Tyler, 1927, and "Moses Drury Hoge, Life and Letters" by Peyton Harrison Hoge.

William II was born about 1701 in the Three Lower Counties of PA's Province (now DE). He married (in 1723) a Quaker named Ann _____, joined the Society of Friends, and settled in Bucks co, PA, not more than a few years before or after his father moved to Chester co, PA. When his father removed to the Valley in Virginia (bet 1729-35) and located in what is currently Frederick co. VA, Wm II and his wife also moved and resided for a time in Loudoun Co, VA, then returned to PA, to Bucks Co, in 1748. He brought a certificate from Opequan Monthly Meeting, in the Shenanoah Valley, to Richland MM dated 4m 16d 1748, which stated that they were married 2m 9d 1723, and included their minor children. Birth dates of seven children are entered upon the records of Richland MM. See: Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks, p. 69.
William and Ann Hoge settled on a plantation of one hundred acres in Richland Manor (purchased of William Allen by deed dated February 16, 1748/49) and they conveyed this plantation to their second son William III on November 7, 1757. William III and Esther his wife, executed a mortgage thereon the following day, which was satisfied in 1750.

A William Hoge (presumed to be this William) was elected to the legislative Assembly in Bucks Co, PA, in OCt 1756. Jenkins in "Pennsylvania Colonial and Federal" enlarges on this as follows in connection with war with the Indians.
"...on June 4, 1756, James Pemberton and Joshua Morris, members from philadelphia County, William Peters from Chester County, peter Worrall from Lancaster County, and Francis Parvin from Berks (Quakers) resigned their seats in the assembly giving as a reason that may of their constituents seemed of the opinion that the situation called upon their representatives for service "in a military way," which from a conviction of judgement after mature deliberation they could not comply with. At the October election, however, Mahlon Kirkbride and William Hoge of Bucks County and Peter Dicks and Nathaniel Pennock of Chester County, although of the same religious persuasion as the seven, were returned. This was without solicitation on the part of these four and, to avoid all question, they resigned."

After the death of Ann in 1759, Wm II returned to VA; his sons James, William, Solomon , George, Joseph and Zebulon Hoge, either went with him or had preceded him in the migration back to VA. there he was proprietor of one of the earliest taverns, called an "ordinary," at Winchester, VA.

1759 May 17 - Certificate from Richland MM to VA issued William Hoge.
1760 Mar 4 - A record of the Burlington MM, Burlington Co, NJ, states that; William Hoge was reported married to Mary Pancoast.
1777 Aug 4 - William Hogue Jr. dis enlisted in Military service. At 70+ years old it seems a little strange for a man, a Quaker, to be entering the military. Even his son William III would have been age 50. There was a Francis Hogue who's family was entirely separate of the descendants of William I and perhaps this person was related to this family.
1777 Dec 29 - William Hoge com "taking off his hat at a Court Martial" ack & acc 1778 May 22. Perhaps this is the William Hogue above or Wm I being called as a witness. maybe some military court record exists.
1789 Apr 13 - William II's will of this date (proved 13 Jul 1789), can be found in Loudoun Co. Records (Book D p.99) and shows: Sons; George Zebulon, James William Solomon (son-in-law of Isaac Nickolls). Step dau-in-law, Sarah Pancoast. Daughter-in-law [? possible wife for James, Joseph or Zebulon] Hannah Boone. Brother James Hoge. Grandson Morgan Hoge.

Removed with family to VA in 1759 Hopewell Meeting. In 1789, they moved to wouthwestern PA, bringing their membership to the rapidly growing Westland Meeting.

A William Hoge (presumed to be William3) was elected to the Legislative Assembly in Bucks Co, PA, in Oct 1756. The progression of events follows:

"In January, 1756, a bill was framed to prevent any person in the colonies (meaning Pennsylvania) from being "capable to sett, vote, or have deliberative voice in any Council or Assembly," who would not take an oath. [Excerpt from "The History of Chester County, Pennsylvania."]

Jenkins in "Pennsylvania Colonial and Federal" enlarges on this as follows in connection with war with the Indians. "...on June 4, 1756, James Pemberton and Joshua Morris, members from Philadelphia County, William Peters from Chester County, Peter Worrall from Lancaster County, and Francis Parvin from Berks (Quakers) resigned their seats in the assembly giving as a reason that many of their constituents seemed of the opinion that the situation called upon their representatives for service "in a military way," which from a conviction of judgement after mature deliberation they could not comply with.

This was without solicitation on the part of these four and, to avoid all question, they resigned." [REF#75--The Hoge, Nichols, and Related Familiesi

At the opening of the session four of them sent in their resignation, as follows: "October 16, 1756. May it please the Speaker and the House of Rep-resentatives; Understanding that the Ministry have requested the Quakers, who from the first settlement of this Colony have been the Majority of the Assemblies of this Province, to suffer their seats, during the difficult situation of the affairs of the Colonies to be filled by members of other denominations, in such manner to prepare without any scruples all such laws as may be necessary to be enacted for the defense of the Province in whatever manner they mayjudge best suited to the circumstances of it; and notwith-standing we think this has been pretty fully complied with at the last election yet at the request of our Friends, being willing to take of all possible objection we who have (without any solicitation on our part) been returned as Representatives in this Assembly request we may be excused and suffered to withdraw ourselves and vacate our sets in such manner as may be attended with the least trouble and most satisfactory to this honourable House.

Married to his 2nd wife (Mary Nichols) out of unity and made an acknowledgement of his error in 1774. It may have been that required waiting period, following the death of his first wife, was not observed. He later became a Quaker Elder.

According to early Friends Families of Upper Bucks, Clarence V. Roberts, 1925, p. 69. Solomon removed from Richland MM, PA to VA in 1782; he was granted a certificate (19 sep 1782) by Richland to Fairfax MM, VA, which included his wife "Esther" and minor children . It is possible that this certificte was actually issued to his uncle Solomon.

He was given a land grant in Belmont Co, OH, for land in S8 T8 R5 on 29 Aug 1803. Belmont Co Courthouse records.

Notes for MARY ESTHER NICHOLS:
Ref: "The Hoge, Nichols and Related Families - Biographical/Historical - A Sequential Arrangement of Genealogical Data", by William D. Nichols, 4578 Rain Park Drive, Fairview Park, OH 44126, Sept. 1969

Although her father opposed to song, music and dancing, gay and stylish raiment for his women folk, and even the beautification of his home grounds with flower gardens, it so happened that Mary was just not disposed to ignore all of the beautiful things in life. She loved music, was forever humming a son and dancing, would laugh joyously over amusing things, and loved to bedeck herself in the gayest of colors. She was the very personification of vitality and spirit, and there was no place in her life for any religious doctrine or code of behavior that not only ignored but suppressed the beautiful things of life. On the other hand, her father, true to his convictions, remonstrated with her over and over again in a sincere effort to have her conform to the discipline of the Quakers, but all to no avail. As a final gesture, he excluded her from his will and so advised her and some of his close friends including Jacob and Hannah Janney. [Hanah was an extremely respected Friends minister]

When Hannah was informed of Isaac's action, she immediately called at the Nichols home where she challenged Isaac with "Why did thee make thy will and disinherit thy daughter Mary?" Isaac replied, "I cannot do anything with Mary. She is forever dancing and singing. She will not wear anything but the brightest colored and prettiest dresses. She will not adhere to the discipline of the Friends. I cannot control her; she is stubborn and set in her ways." Hannah allowed as how she came by her willfullness honestly and told Isaac he must change his will to conform to the discipline of Friends which requires that all children share in their father's estate. Isaac refused to agree but after further argument and persuasion, he gave in. Hannah, right then and there, wrote a codicil to his will which proved that Mary should inherit an equal share in her father's substantial estate which included several thousand acres of land. She had him sign the codicil and she witnessed it. In later years after the mellowing of life's many trials and tribulations, Isaac wrote another will, which fully included his lovely daughter Mary.

Notes for GEORGE HOGE:
Went to VA

On January 11, 1773 George Hoge was disowned by Hopewell Monthly Meeting for bearing arms. This does not seem to have weighed heavily upon him for he served in the Revolution that followed in Captain Benjamin Stiles's Militia Company from Morgan Twp. On March 20, 1798, he and his wife Elizabeth joined in a deed of a part of "Deer park" to Thomas Adamson, and then shortly before his death he and wife Elizabeth made a deed (12/2/1803) for the balance of "Deer Park" to his son Thomas Hoge. (Deed Bk 2, p415) He and his wife are probably buried in the Adamson Cemetery, but no markers are shown. A Bible record copied by Norval Hoge and sent to this author by Miss Tillie Hoge gives the birth dates of each of the ten children of George and Elizabeth Blackledge Hoge.
