Gary Tharp and Bud Miller have tirelessly explored this family line with me and their help has been fantastic. There is no way I can say enough about their efforts. And to you, Bud, all those mailings to me now add up to a stack of papers 7 inches high!
Information Sources for Above Dates:
This (*) information is from Mrs. Roy (Gladys) Allumbaugh of Boise, Idaho, and is considered a family record. Her information appears the same as the 1926 letter of B. Frank Allumbaugh, as related by Donna Alumbaugh in her 1981 book, “Allumbaugh and Alumbaugh Family – 1740-1981.” The Allumbaugh source is our only record for the surname of “Wadlaw” or “Wadlau.” Details follow in write-up below.
This (**) information is from the Bible of James Morphew (1805), was in the hands of Harold Morphew, a descendant of James Riley Morphew, and was sent by ? to myself in 1963 and discussed in a letter to Theodore R. Specht, dated 7 January 1964. This information, which was forgotten, was kindly relayed by Jerry Specht in his 11/2002 e-mail. This Bible does not give the maiden name for Nancy, wife of William Hogan.
This (***) information is from the Bible of David Allen (born 1804), who married Nancy Hogan (born 1811). Information is courtesy of Helen Bandfield 11/2002) and gives us our best dates.

(I). OUR EARLIEST FAMILY RECORD FOR WILLIAM AND NANCY HOGAN
Our earliest record comes from Gladys Allumbaugh, Boise, Idaho in 1965, whose source was from some old family papers, probably by B. Frank Allumbaugh of Boise, Idaho in 1926, who wrote:
“Rachel Love born Maryland married “William Wadlaw,” a daughter Nancy born 1779 married William Hogan Tennessee. Their daughter Rebecca born 1799 Tennessee married James Morphew October 1825 Estill County, Kentucky”.... (This letter is found in “Allumbaugh-Alumbaugh Family 1740-2001” by Donna Jean Allumbaugh, 2nd Ed. 2003 page 1330.
These Hogans present fascinating puzzles to solve because family records go silent about the origin, parents, and early years of William Hogan. Speculation now exists that William might have left his family when he was between the ages of 14 to 17. This seems to coincide with his mother's remarriage to William Hines. Instead of migrating westward with his brothers, he goes eastward for unknown reasons. He probably drifted around before meeting his future wife about 1798 in Sullivan County, Tennessee, Washington County, Virginia, or some other unidentified location.
Until recently, Washington Hogan was thought to be a brother of William Hogan. The David Allen Bible places Washington Hogan’s birth date on 1802, making him a son. After William Hogan died in 1826, one could speculate that Washington Hogan assumed the role of male head of this family to his mother, brothers and sisters. If he married, then his own children become part of the household mix, but no marriage record has yet been found or any record to separate them. Confusion lies with the 1834-1835 Putnam County, Indiana probate, in which Washington Hogan “heirs” were previously interpreted as “children.” FAMILY RECORDS ARE NEEDED.
The search for Nancy Wadlaw's origins can be found in Chapter 5C – "Wadlow and Wadley Finds." The Wadlaw surname cannot be found and must be misspelled. The actual spelling will most likely be the Wadlow/Wadley surname. The parents of Nancy have not been found yet, even though the Allumbaugh papers stated their names to be William Wadlaw + Rachael Love (born Maryland). There are a handful of William Wadlow records that could belong to this William Wadlow both in Maryland and in Washington County, Virginia. The problem is that these records could belong to others.
(III). BIRTH STATE FOR WILLIAM AND NANCY HOGAN PER 1880 CENSUS
No personal family records have been found to help here. 1880 U.S. Census records give the parent’s State of birth. These are frequently wrong and require confirmation with other records. This is what has been found with 4 children:
Father born Mother born
(1) William Hogan, born 1802/04......Maryland........Maryland
(2) Nancy (Hogan) Allen, 1811)........Tennessee......Mar?l??d, (Maryland.)
(3) Ester (Hogan) Tatum, 1822/23.....Kentucky*.....Tennessee*
(4) Humphrey Hogan (1809)........Tennessee.......Maryland.
* information discounted, see census record at end of chapter for reason
Three records state Nancy Hogan (1778-1853) was born in Maryland. Two 1880 census records state William Hogan (1777-1827) was born in Tennessee, and one in Maryland.
The Y-DNA evidence now indicates William's father to be Humphrey Hogan (~1740's to 1789/1790), who migrated into Tennessee Territory about 1773 or so. This pinpoints that William was most likely born in today's Sullivan County, Tennessee. His birth year of 1777 predates Middle Tennessee and would place him among the earliest children born anywhere in Tennessee. Details of the Y-DNA test are found in near the end of this chapter in Section 12 – "Y-DNA Results and What They Mean."
(III. WHAT CENSUS RECORDS STATE ON EARLY HOGAN MIGRATION
U.S. Census records 1850+ give the State of birth for the children of William + Nancy Hogan, and are helpful showing the Hogan movement from Tennessee to Kentucky.
Rebecca Hogan (1799).......... born Tennessee
William Hogan (1801/04)...... born Tennessee
John W. Hogan (1804/05........born Virginia (1860 U.S. Census)
Solomon Hogan (1805-1809)..born Kentucky (Information questionable)
Humphrey Hogan (1809/10)...born Kentucky
Nancy Hogan (1811)...............born Kentucky
Mahala Hogan (1819/22)........born Kentucky
Hester Hogan (1822/23)..........born Kentucky
These records indicate William Hogan and family exited Tennessee as early as 1803. No location in Tennessee has been found and this is becomes part of the mystery. The birth state for his son John W. Hogan (1804/05) was Virginia, if his 1860 census record can be counted on. This suggests the Hogan family was already on the move away from Tennessee. Surprisingly enough, the only Hogan to be found on the complete Washington County, Virginia personal tax records is a William Hogan for the year of 1805.
(IV). An 1802 Tennessee William Hogan Sighting?
There is a William Hogan recorded on the 1802 Roane County, Tennessee tax list, but not in the next surviving 1805 list. No other county records have been found mentioning him. Roane County was formed from Blount and Knox Counties in 1801. The only other Hogan in the area was a James Hogan from 1797 to 1803 in Blount County and 1806 Roane County. These two Hogans do not appear to intersect.
(V). WILLIAM HOGAN IN 1805 VIRGINIA?
John W. Hogan was born 1804/05 in Virginia, according to his 1860 U.S. Census (courtesy of Cindy Lowe, e-mail 1 April 2004). Furthermore the only Hogan to be listed on Washington County, Virginia personal property taxes was a William Hogan in the tax year of 1805 only. This must be our William Hogan.
The 1810 U.S. Census of Knox County, Kentucky lists a William Hogan, with data strongly suggesting our subject:
William Hogan:
5 males born 1800-<1810
1 female born 1790-<1800
1 male and 1 female born 1765-1784.
A second William Hogan listed in the 1810 Knox County Census is a different William Hogan, Sr. (~1750-1827), who married 1st to Nancy Wadleigh, 2nd Sarah (Grant) Fullington, and 3rd to Hannah Mayes. No deeds could be identified belonging to our William Hogan, suggesting he was a renter or transient.
Yearly tax records for Knox County from 1800 to 1816 indicate that there were two William Hogans for the year 1810. The one with one adult male 21+, two horses, and no slaves was probably ours. He does not appear again in the 1811, 1815, and 1816 tax records (1812, 1813, part of 1814 tax records are missing or unreadable). Where our William Hogan lived next until 1816 Estill County is a mystery.
This is the second time that William Hogan was found on a tax record for only a single year. Could this be occupational migration rather than a traditional migration path?
(1). Estill County Tax and Court Records:
Estill County, Kentucky, tax lists begin in 1808 and our William Hogan is recorded yearly beginning 1816 through the year 1827. There appears to be two different tax lists and they are not quite the same in content.
18 July 1820, Estill County Court recorded the case of William Richardson versus Samuel Plummer; covenant broken 25 February 1818. The defendant rented Miller’s Old Cave, lying on the north side of North Fork of Kentucky River in a survey of land belonging to Samuel Smith. Plummer was to pay 10 pounds per hundred weight of salt peter as rent and $500 sum if defaulted. The Court determined that the defendant broke his covenant. Witnesses included William Hogan and Thomas Brinegar.
1823, William Hogan is listed on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River with 4 children between ages 4 and 14.
1824, William Hogan is listed on the "Middle Fork" with 50 acres with 6 children between 4 and 14 years of age.
1825, the children's listing was dropped. In 1825, William is now on Buffalo Creek with two white males over 21 and 1 horse.
1826, the tax names are:
Washington Hogan with 1 white adult male over 21 and no horse
William Hogan with 1 white adult male and no horse
Nancy Hogan, 50 acres in Estill County, no adult male and 1 horse.
There is an additional Hogan listed, but can't read it – it looks like Leneyn or Garyn Hogan. Only the "ym" is clearly written. Probably this is someone reaching age 21 and could be Solomon or Solomyn.
Washington Hogan is listed on Estill County tax records for 1824, 1826, 1827, and in 1827 he is noted on the South Fork of the Kentucky River. In 1824, Washington Hogan is recorded with 0 children over 4 years of age and under 14 years old.
After 1827, there are no Hogans (except Levi Hogins) and presume almost everyone moved to Putnam County, Indiana.
(2). Estill County Marriage Records and Marriage Bonds:
John Hogan to Cynthia Eggers on 29 July 1820 (Comment – should be 1826)
William Hogan to Hannah Allen on 7 July 1825
Rebecca Hogan to James Morphew on 5 October 1825 (not found on last visit). Bond in September 1826, which reads: for the sum of 50 pounds to which payment
made...James Murphey and William Hogan, between James Murphy and Rebecca
Hogan. Signed William Hogan, 20th day of September 1826.
Nancy Hogan to David Allen. Marriage bond in 8 May 1827, which reads: ...David Allen and John Hogen...sum of fifty pounds...8th day May 1827...marriage shortly intended ...between David Allen and Nancy Hogan. Signed David Allen and John Hogan.
Humphrey Hogan to Jane Chambers on 24 February 1828
Levi Hogan to Charlotte Hockensmith on 15 January 1839. Also, his name is listed as Hagin or Hagins and does not seem related.
(3). Elk Lick Baptist Church Records
1825-1828 ELK LICK BAPTIST CHURCH RECORDS
The Hogans, Allens, James and Daniel Eggers (Jr.), Nathan and James Morphew belonged to the Elk Lick Baptist Church near the South Fork, whose records are now available at (http://owsleykyhist.org/elk_lick_baptist_church.htm), compiled by Dr. D. L. Brewer and aided by the Owsley County Kentucky Historical Society.
These records are a tiny window into the lives of these people and include:
Nathan Murphy (Morphew) became treasurer on 28 December 1825
James Agers was a moderator and trustee and Daniel Eggers, Jr. Minister in 1826
The Church agreed to receive “experiences” within the church with the help of Brethren which included Nancy Hogan, John Hogan, Humphry Hogan, (and a 2nd) Nancy Hogan on 1 May 1826. D. Allen (David Allen) was in a church squabble in June.
Church licensed Brother William Hogan to the ministry on 1 April 1827
Jonathan Hogan is on their 1827 records.
Those leaving the church (dismissed) by letter (usually moved away):
(1 September 1827) James and Sary (Sarah) Agers (Eggers) - his wife; John and Cynthia Hogan - his wife
(1 September 1828) Nancy Hogan, Lucy Murphy (Mrs. Nathan Morphew), James + Rebecca (Hogan) Morphew, Humphrey Hogan, and Solomon Hogan.
(4). William Hogan's Recorded Land
ESTILL COUNTY LAND GRANT TO WILLIAM HOGAN
At Estill County, there is a Kentucky land grant deed: “17 January 1824, surveyed for William Hogan, 50 acres of land with his improvement on Buffalo Creek...to Washington Hogan marker.”
A survey follows on a narrow six-sided funnel shaped piece of land, without reference to where the creek may be or where on the creek this piece of land lies. There appears to be two Buffalo Creeks on the South Fork of Kentucky River, as pointed out by Bud Miller (2/2003), being:
(A). (Buffalo Creek) being on the present day boundary between Owlsey and Clay Counties, north of Oneida, Clay County, Kentucky
(B). (Lower Buffalo Creek) having it’s mouth in present-day Lee County at an landmark called Lower Buffalo and running upstream in a southeast direction for a short distance into northern Oswley County. This latter creek is near the mouth of Elk Creek and general location of the Elk Creek Baptist Church. This is most likely the Hogan location.
A worker at the Clay County Historical Society strongly objected to the idea that the first Buffalo Creek (of South Fork of Kentucky River) was ever in Estill, thereby She had a book which mapped 1810, 1820, 1830 county lines, and showed Estill County boundaries much further north.
SALE OF WILLIAM HOGAN’S PROBATED LAND, 1827
Buffalow Creek of the South Fork of the Kentucky River
Estill County Deed (difficult to read): “15 September 1827 between Washington Hogan and all the heirs of William Hogan, deceased, of Estill County, Kentucky and Jacob Bowman of Clay County, Kentucky for $150 sell tract or parcel of land lying and being in Estill County and in ‘Buffalow Creek’ waters of the South Fork of the Kentucky River, beginning at said Hogans improvement...50 acres of land with appurtenances belonging or in any __ appertaining unto the said Jacob Bowman and his heirs forever and the said Washington Hogan and heirs doth agree to and with the said Jacob Bowman...defend said bargained premised from them and said heirs of William Hogan deceased...by them the said heirs of William Hogan deceased and said Washington Hogan and the heirs of William Hogan deceased.”
Signed:
Robert Rose (his “x”) Nancy Hogan
Washington Hogan Washington Hogan
William Hogan William Hogan
David Allen
Humphry Hogan
Solomon Hogan
ADDITIONAL HEIRS SIGN THE LAND SALE
John Hogan and James Morphew
Estill County Legal Document for John Hogan and James Merphew (hard to read):
I, Robert Clark, clerk of the court from Nancy Hogan and other to Jacob Bowman was produced to him in my office on 11 March 1828 and do acknowledge by William Hogan and Washington Hogan to be their act and deed and on the same day was proven by the oath of said Washington and William Hogan to be the act and deed of the said Nancy Hogan, David Allen, Humphry Hogan, Solomon Hogan, John Hogan and James Murphew for the purposes through in named and thereupon on the old __(document). Signed: Robert Clark
Apparently, the heirs, John Hogan and James Morphew, are added to the list on the property sale. Possibly, they had already moved away.
The Robert Rose, who signed the land sale in 1827, may be a legal representative for Jacob Bowman. There is a Robert Rose recorded in Clay County, Kentucky, from 1811 to 1830+ who married Ester Moore on 19 November 1816 in Clay County. Or he may be the Robert Rose noted in the 16 July 1823 Estill County Court Record questioning his lease as a tenant of a plantation for the years 1818 and 1819 with witnesses including Squire Wilcox(son). In a 4/2001 visit to Clay County, no Hogans were found on yearly county tax records from 1807 to 1829, nor on deeds, nor in marriage records.
About 1827, the Hogans move to Putnam County, Indiana, and they appear on the marriage records. All are related, except for Thomas Hogan:
Solomon Hogan married Abigail Monett on 15 February 1830
William Hogan married Jane Gorden 15 March 1829 at Putnam County, Ind.
Mahala Hogan married Joseph Agers 15 January 1835 Putnam County, Ind.
Thomas Hogan married Jane Bell 22 April 1837 Putnam County, Indiana
1830 U.S. Census of Putnam County shows the following Hogans.
David Allen + Nancy Hogan
Humphrey Hogan + Jane Chambers
John Hogan + Cynthia Eggers???
Nancy Hogan, born 1778, with children and probably Washington Hogan
Solomon Hogan + Abigail Monett
William Hogan (next to Nancy Hogan) + Jane Gorden
James Morphew + Rebecca Hogan
Not thought related: Andrew Hogan
1840 U.S. Census of Putnam County, Indiana:
Solomon Hogan + Abigail Monett (Floyd Township)
Joseph Agers + Mahala Hogan (Floyd Township)
Not thought related: Andrew Hogan and Thomas Hogan, both of Washington Township, which is at the opposite end of Putnam County.
ESTATE OF WASHINGTON HOGAN, 1834 – 1836
Reader beware! The records below are condensed versions of the probate records filed at Putnam County, Indiana. Two different handwritten copies of the full documents exist which aid in reviewing them. The documents consistently state “heirs” or “infant heirs” of Washington Hogan, and at no time can anything be found to state “children of Washington Hogan,” as originally misinterpreted in my earlier condensed version. At no time is a wife of Washington Hogan indicated or identified. At no time is Nancy Hogan identified, except to be an heir. The definition of “heir” become a key to our understanding.
On 11 November 1834, James Morphew was granted letters of administration for the estate of Washington, Hogan, late of Putnam County, Indiana. James Morphew, Daniel Eggers, and Humphrey Hogan posted $200 bond as executors and administrators.
Heirs identified in probate proceedings dated 15 December 1834 were: William Hogan, Humphrey Hogan, John W. Hogan, Nancy Hogan and Solomon Hogan, all of lawful age, and the following five minors under the guardianship of William Hogan: Elizabeth Hogan, Mahala Hogan, Thomas Hogan, Ester Hogan, and Francis W. Hogan, infant heirs of said Washington Hogan.
On 12 February 1835, William Hogan was appointed legal guardian for five “infant heirs of Washington Hogan, ” identified as three being between the age over 14 and under adult age: Elizabeth, Mahala, and Thomas. Heirs under 14 were identified as Ester and Francis W. Hogan.
For the estate sale, Reuben Young and John Burris did the inventory appraisal and Humphrey Hogan was clerk of sale. Names of purchasers at the 15 December 1834 sale were:
William Hogan, one bell at $0.43; 1 plough at $1.31¼; 1 reed at $0.43
Humphrey Hogan, 1 lot of 6 hogs at $5.75
William King, 1 single slay at $.50
Reuben Young, 1 froe at $0.40.
James Morphew, 1 single tree iron at $0.56¼.
Nancy Hogan, 1 asce at $1.50; 2 sheep at $2.25; 1 coffee mill at $0.25
Alexander Wilson, 1 pair harness and braces at $1.62½ .
Samuel Boyd, 50 feet of plank at $0.37½. Total $17.83.
On 12 February 1835, James Morphew, Administrator, suggested to the court that there was not enough personal property money to pay the debts of the deceased Washington Hogan and filed for an inventory and appraisement of his land. This land was appraised for $150 by Fielding Priest, James Allen, William Hogan, Humphrey Hogan and John W. Hogan. On 19 March 1835, the highest bid for the land was $150 by James Morphew, who became the purchaser on 9 November 1935. Henry Secrest, appointed a commissioner, conveyed said tract of Floyd Township land to Morphew (W½ of NW quarter Section 4; Township 15, Range 3), except 21 acres of south end to Alexander Wilson (resulting from a bond made by Washington Hogan to Alexander Wilson, when he was living).
Nancy Hogan (William Hogan, agent for Nancy Hogan) contested to recover money in court (12 May 1835) from James Morphew, administrator, and in an 11 August 1835 trial received $126.20 judgment – details not given. The final estate settlement occurred on 11 November 1835 (recorded 4 April 1836) indicated money paid to William Hogan - $5.73¼ , A. Wilson – $0.125, Secrest for the deed - $1.50, Wilson - $1.50, H. Secrest Atty - $5, Doct Logan - $1.25, Collector Priest - $0.81, Nancy Hogan - $115.44¼, Hiram and Tabott - $3, Tabbot and Co. - $19.29 ¾ , Doct. Stevenson - $1.20, Young and Burrap - $1, James Eggers Crier - $0.75, James Morphew - $4.43¾, clerks fees - $9.22. Cash on hand $15.98¾, Sale bill $17.83¾, sale bill of land $150 = $183.82. Amount of debts paid $183.82.
The court records leaves one confused about a number of issues.
(1) Who was Nancy Hogan?
(2) Why did Nancy Hogan contest the estate settlement? Nancy must be Nancy Wadlaw Hogan (1778) - the mother, and this action was made to keep the remaining money in her hands, rather than being divided between all heirs.
(3) Did Washington Hogan marry and did some of the younger children belong to him?
(4) Why did the probate fail to include Rebecca (Hogan) Morphew and Nancy (Hogan) Allen as heirs?
(5) Could cousins be included?
(6) Can another completely different interpretation better explain what we are reading here?
This is the best that can be determined without family records. If Washington Hogan (born 1802 to 1834 - Bible record) did marry, then some of the youngest children may belong to him. Major errors probably exist with this list of children of William Hogan (1777-1826 Bible record) + Nancy Wadlaw (1778-1853 Bible record).
(4). William Hogan was born 1801-04 in Tennessee, died 8 May 1888, Chautaugua County, Kansas and is buried at the West Liberty Cemetery, Salt Creek Township, Chautauqua County, Kansas. Tombstone said to be rough and could not read. Middle name may be Wesley. Possibly married 1st to Hannah Allen on 7 June 1825 Estill County, Kentucky (county record), and then married 2nd to Jane Gorden on 15 March 1829 at Putnam County, Indiana (county record). Jane was born 1811/12 and was noted living on the 1880 U.S. Census.
William and Jane Hogan bought and sold many parcels (8) of land in Putnam County, Indiana from 1829 to 1848, with all but one in Floyd Township.
*Putnam County, Indiana, Crawfordsville Land Entry #9204: William Hogan, 7 October 1829, 80 acres. This land is in Floyd Township, next to the southern border of Jackson Township, about 3 miles ENE of Bainbridge. Washington Hogan’s land was diagonally southeast and across from him. (SE Section 32, Township 16,Range 3 West)
In Estill County, Kentucky at the Elk Lick Baptist Church, William Hogan became Moderator, Deacon, and on 1 April 1827, licensed to the ministry. In Putnam County, Indiana, William Hogan was a carpenter and an early minister for a Baptist Church, which was located on the farm of Jesse Eggers. Gary Tharp is a senior genealogist for this line. William and Jane Hogan lived in the following locations:
1830 Putnam County, Indiana
1840 Floyd Township, Putnam County, Indiana
1845 Floyd Township, Putnam County tax list, no details
1850 Wapello County, Iowa
1856 Washington Township, Franklin County, Iowa
1860 Lykins County, Kansas
1880 Salt Creek Township, Chautaugua County, Kansas
Children (source - Gary Tharp):
(i). Mary Ann Hogan (16 April 1831 Putnam County, Indiana to 10 July 1903) married about 1868 in Kansas to William H. Tharp (5 August 1813 Franklin County, Indiana).
(ii) James M. Hogan (1832 Putnam County, Indiana to >1880) married Martha A. Hogan (1835 Indiana). They had the following children: (a) Albert A. Hogan (1860), (b) Lincoln G. Hogan (February 1866 Kansas), (c) James W. Hogan (1870 Kansas)
(iii) Elizabeth Hogan (16 May 1837 Putnam County, Indiana to 18 November 1915 Elk City, Montgomery County, Kansas and buried West Liberty Cemetery, Salt Creek Township, Chautauqua County, Kansas) married Elihu Hawkins Tharp (9 November 1833, Canton, Fulton County, Illinois). They had 7 children.
(iv) William Anderson Hogan (1841 Putnam County, Indiana to 2 January 1899 Lincoln County, Oklahoma) married in 1866 Johnson County, Kansas to Abigail Ann Pitt (1847 Des Moines County, Iowa to >1920). William A. Hogan was a Civil War Sergeant in Company H, 12th Kansas Infantry Regiment with a P.O. address of Sedan. He lived in Johnson County, Kansas in 1861 and 1864 to 1872, then Sumner County for 5 years, then 1877 to Salt Creek Township, Chautauqua County to a 300 acre farm where in 1881 he was elected to the State Legislature on the Republican ticket. In 1883, William A. sold out and located at Sedan and engaged in contracting and building. In 1866 he married in Johnson County to Abigail Pitt. They lived in the following locations:
1870 Johnson County, Kansas, with no children noted on census.
1880 Chautauqua County, Kansas
1900 Fox Township, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, Abigail without William
1910 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Abigail as mother to Lucretia Lynges
1920 Chandler City, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, Abigail with Lucretia
Their biography in William G. Cutler's 1883 "History of the State of Kansas," noted they had three children living: Lord Hogan, Lane Hogan, and Crete Hogan, but by combining their 1880, 1900, 1910 U.S. Census records, the following is the best that can be projected: (a) Lura (possibly for Lurania and nick-name Lord) Hogan (1872) , (b) Lane Hogan (1874 – no clue to full name), (c) Stella Hogan (1878), (d) Lucretia (Crete) Hogan (December 1881), who married William E. Lynges, (e) Wirt W. (or W.W. or William Wirt) Hogan, (May 1885) who married Bertha Pitt and were living in 1920 & 1930 Lincoln County, Oklahoma.
(v) Andrew Jackson Hogan (16 November 1843 Putnam County, Indiana to 25 September 1922 Chatauqua County, Kansas) married 1st to Anna M __ and 2nd on 26 October 1845 Missouri to Sarah Emiline Lewallen (26 October 1845) and had the following children in Idaha except the last in Kansas: (a) Sarah Jane Hogan (29 March 1870), (b) Curtis Eugene Hogan (18 February 1873 to 16 November 1942), (c) Luther Ellsworth Hogan (18 November 1875), (d) _ Hogan (18 November 1875, female), (e) Dora Emmaline Hogan (18 February 1878), (f) Lillian Elizabeth Hogan (19 January 1881), (g) George Jesse Hogan (8 February 1884 Elk City, Montgomery County, Kansas.
(vi) Sarah J. Hogan (1846) married Jesse H. Beeson
(vii) Dorcus Emilia (Emma) Hogan (1846/47) married Charles Frisbie.
(viii) Martha E. Hogan (May 1850) married __ Adams
(ix) Thomas J. Hogan (1852) married Ida P. __.
(x) Rachel Hogan (1855).
(5). Solomon Hogan, Sr. is estimated born between 1805 and 1809 and died 28 July 1869 in Putnam County, Indiana and was buried Stilesville Cemetery, Franklin Township, Putnam County, Indiana (death and burial per Gary Tharp). He married Abigail Monett on 15 February 1830 at Putnam County, Indiana.
In 2 January 1836, Isaac Monnett granted Floyd Township, Putnam County land to his daughter, Abigail Hogan, and granddaughters, Hannah Hogan, Mariam Hogan, and Nancy Hogan, with “love and affection.” Solomon Hogan is listed:
1830, 1840 U.S Census of Putnam County, Indiana
1845 Floyd Township, Putnam County Tax List on his 3rd deed below
1860 Putnam County Census
Putnam County, Indiana, 26 April 1834: Solomon Hogan and Abigail, his wife, to James Allen for $175, 52 acres in Marion Township.
(E½ of NE section 3, township 14, range 3)
Putnam County, 31 December 1835: Solomon Hogan and Abigail, his wife, to Isaac Monnett, all of Putnam County, for $150, 80 acres in Floyd Twn.
(W½ NW S25, T15, R3)
Putnam County, 31 December 1835: Isaac Monnett to Solomon Hogan, 40 acres in Floyd Township. This land was sold by Solomon Hogan (no wife listed) to John Waln Junr. 31 August 1845 for $3. (NW of SW S25, T15, R3)
This family appears to have broken up before or by 1850. His 13 year old son, Solomon, is in the June 1850 Census, living with the James Conlee family in Marion Township, and his daughter, Miriam Hogan, living with the Isaac Monnett family in Floyd Township. In the 1850 November court books note the estates (deaths) of Mariam Hogan and Hannah Hogan. In 11 July 1853, Putnam Court Books note Solomon Hogan “adjudged insane (from Hogan notes at Putnam County Library),” and the 1860 U.S. Census for Putnam indicates he was living at the County Poor House. Solomon Hogan (Jr.) is noted on the 1860 U.S. Census of Placerville Township, El Dorado County, California, age 22, a teamster, born Indiana.
Children of Solomon and Abigail Hogan are:
(i) Mariam Hogan, (1831/32 to 1850)
(ii) Solomon Hogan (1836/37). Birth date from 1850 Census.
(iii) Hannah Hogan, died 1850.
(iv) Nancy Hogan.
(6). Humphrey Hogan was born between April 1809 to April 1810 in Kentucky and probably died in Lincoln County 11-18 January 1894. According to his son’s Civil War Pension Record, on 24 April 1879, Humphrey stated his age to be 69. He married on 24 February 1828 Estill County, Kentucky to Jane Chambers (born 1808 in North Carolina).
Bud Miller, is a descendant and senior genealogist for the Humphrey Hogan Clan, and thanks go out for out to him for sharing his Humphrey Hogan information.
Humphrey and Jane lived in the following locations:

1880 U.S. Census of Salt Creek Township, Mitchell County, Kansas. Was he visiting at this time? Notable on this census, are the birth States for his parents – reported to be Tennessee for his father and Maryland for his mother.
Humphrey Hogan and Jane Chambers had two children (currently known):
(i) Dr. William W. Hogan was born about 1840 in Putnam Co, Indiana, described as 5 feet 10 inches high, with blue eyes and brown hair, and died 30 September 1871 at Waterville, Marshall County, Kansas from an overdose of Landanum or Morphine used to treat chronic diarrhea. William Hogan (age 21) married 7 July 1861 in Floyd County, Iowa to Ellen A. Bostwick (age 18) and their Minister was James Tatum (who signed a 1872 document of proof). His Civil War pension documents state there were no children by this marriage. Ellen remarried later to Alphons R. Bishop and lived at the Post Office Chickasaw, Chickasaw County, Iowa. In 1866, William and Ellen Hogan were living at St. Catharine, Linn County, Missouri. In 1870, he and his wife, Ellen, were living in the combined household of William W., Ellen, Humphrey and Jane Hogan, and James Robertson. On this same census, William W. Hogan’s age is 29, and his occupation is listed as a “Physician.”
William W. Hogan and his brother-in-law, James D. Gilpin, enlisted as privates on 4 August 1864 at Brookfield, Linn County, Missouri in the 42nd Missouri Infantry Regiment of Captain William H. Lewis’ Company A. William was hospitalized in Nashville for measles on 1 January 1865 while stationed at Fort Donaldson, Tennessee, and mustered out 28 June 1865 for disability due to resulting chronic bronchitis.
(ii) Mary Jane Hogan was born 1834/35 and died 1877 while living on their farm east of Lincoln Center, Lincoln County, Kansas. She is buried in the Lincoln Cemetery, Lincoln County, Kansas. Mary Jane Hogan married 24 May 1856 in Floyd County, Iowa to Dr. James D. Gilpin (born 28 January 1829 in Delaware County, Ohio to 10 June 1893 and buried Old Milo Cemtery near Barnard). James D. Gilpin married 1st to Lucinda Frakes who lived only two years later, 2nd to Mary Jane Hogan, 3rd on 5 March 1890 at Mankato, Kansas to Martha R. Wright in 1880, and 4th to Mary R. __. Gilpin lived in the following locations after he was married:
Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana where he married Lucinda Frakes
1856 – 1860 Floyd Center, Floyd County, Iowa where he began medicine and married Mary Hogan
1861 – 1869 Linn County, Missouri
1870 or 1871 to 1872 Abram, Lincoln County, Kansas in 1870 which was 2 miles east and one mile south of Lincoln. Postmaster at Abram until the town was abandoned in 1872.
1873+ Lincoln County, Kansas
Dr. James D. Gilpin and his wife "homesteaded 40 acres (Lincoln County, Kansas) out south of the graveyard and lived there for years and was one of our doctors for years in times when the children died in the county with membranous croup and diphtheria. (from Lincoln Sentinel, 28 October 1915 of N.E. Rees Remembrances – courtesy of Bud Miller, 20 February 2005."
The 1880 U.S. Census of Elkhorn District, Lincoln County, Kansas notes James D. Gilpin, age 41, to be a physician. He served as private in Company A of the 42nd Missouri Volunteers as a private. He was disabled during his enlistment. Gilpin’s Civil War Pension record names his widow as Mary R. Gilpin in a 27 January 1893 notation.
The 1880 U.S. Census of Lincoln County, Kansas (page 11) allows us to determine that James D. Gilpin + Lucinda Frakes 1st marriage had one son: (a) Samuel F. Gilpin (December 1854). With his 2nd marriage, James D. Gilpin + Mary Jane Hogan had seven children: (b) William Gilpin (1857/58), (c) Eva Gilpin (1861/62), (d) Jessie Gilpin (female – 1863/64), (e) Jacob Gilpin (1866/67), (f) Robert Gilpin (1868/69), (g) Stephen Gilpin (1873/74), (h) Lewis Gilpin (1875-76).
(7). Nancy Hogan was born 2 November 1811 in Kentucky and died 7 February 1888 in Hansell, Franklin County, Iowa (Bible record); buried at Dumont, Butler County, Iowa – Harland Cemetery. She married May 1827 at Estill County, Kentucky to David Allen, born 9 June 1804 in North Carolina and died 21 November 1885 (Bible record). There is another entry in the same David Allen Bible lists his birth also as 9 June 1811.
Nancy has an Estill County, Kentucky marriage bond with David Allen on 8 May 1827, with signatures of John Hogan and David Allen. David Allen signed the 1827 Hogan land transaction, indicating that Nancy was an heir. David and Nancy are said to be the first settlers of Ingham Township, Franklin County, Iowa. Richard McLoud and Helen Bandfield are genealogists for this line. Helen has the David Allen Bible which has provided valuable dates. They lived in the following locations:
1827 Estill County, Kentucky
1830 Putnam County, Indiana
1840 Marion Township, Putnam County, Indiana
1845 Floyd Township, Putnam County on 80 acres, S-25, T-5, R-3.
1850 Locust Grove Township, Jefferson County, Iowa
1856 Washington Township, Franklin County, Iowa
1860-1880 Ingham Township, Franklin County, Iowa
Notable in their 1880 U.S. Census is Nancy’s father listed born in Tennessee, and her mother in born Maryland (not Massachusetts as originally stated).
Nancy Hogan and David Allen had 12 children:
(i) William L. Allen (born 9 October 1829 – 1909, who married 1st to Amanda Akens and 2nd to on 19 February 1854 in Putnam County, Indiana to Tabitha Eggers (~1832). (Marriages need re-confirming).
(ii) Jonathan H. Allen (10 June 1832 – 8 June 1893), who married Jemima Harlan;
(iii) Ruth A. Allen (16 February 1833-2 March 1833);
(iv) James W. Allen (8 July 1835 Putnam Co., In – 8 June 1918), who married 10 Sept. 1857 to Susannah Harlan;
(v) Hester Allen (4 January 1837 In);
(vi) Francis (Fanny) Wesley Allen (7 October 1838 or 39 In – 21 July 1901), who married Melissa Harlan.
(vii) Hannah J. Allen (2 October 1840 In. – 17 Feb. 1841;
(viii) Clark D. Allen (4 December 1842 In.);
(ix) Solomon Marion Allen (8 July 1844, In);
(x) Jane N. Allen (11 September 1846 In. – 10 October 1930), who married Nathan Harlan;
(xi) Sarah Catherine Allen (1 May 1849 Wapello County, Iowa – 13 November 1849);
(xii) Walder Leland Allen (2 January 1852 Wapello County, Iowa – 7 March 1904)
(8). Elizabeth Hogan was born between 1815-1820. She was living at the time of the 1834-35 probate. Nothing further is known about her.
(9). Mahala Hogan was born about 1821, in Estill County, Kentucky and died ?. She married on 15 January 1839 in Floyd Township, Putnam County, Indiana to Joseph T. Eggers (11 April 1820 - 4 April 1899 and buried at Barnard Cemetery, Jackson Township, Putnam County).
They lived in the following locations, as noted by census records:
1840-1850 Floyd Township, Putnam County, Indiana
1860-1870 Jackson Township, Putnam County, Indiana
Census records report the following children: (i) Mary E. Eggers, 1839/40, born in Indiana; (ii) Nancy M. Eggers, 1842/44, Indiana; (iii) George Dallas Eggers, 15 November 1844, Indiana (cemetery stone, Barnard); (iv) Landrine Eggers, 1845/46, Indiana; (v) Jesse B. Eggers (1847/48), Indiana; (vi) William Joseph Eggers (1851/52), Indiana; (vii) Julia A. Eggers (July 1858 to 27 March 1902 Floyd County, Iowa), Indiana, who possibly married Jasper Tatum and were living in 1880 Rock Grove Township, Floyd County, Iowa and were next door to Jesse L. and Margaret A. Eggers (Courtesy of Cindy Lowe, e-mail of 24 December 2005).
(10). Thomas Hogan is estimated born in late 1820, but this could be wrong. Thomas was living at the time of 1834-35 probate.
The 1840 Putnam County census has an unnamed male teenager living with the Humphrey Hogan family whom could be Thomas Hogan.
There was a listing in ancestry.com stating Thomas Hogan + Jane Bell belonged to our clan. However Thomas Hogan + Jane lived (1839-1848 deed, Washington Township, Putnam County) adjacent to the 1840 property of Granville M. Hogan (of Parke County, Indiana), at the opposite end of Putnam County from our Hogans. Thomas Hogan’s 1840 Census record in Washington Township, Putnam County is five entries away from Andrew Hogan. Furthermore, Granville M. Hogan took Benjamin Bell, Jr. (brother to Jane?) to 1839 Putnam County Court for trespass and a debt. Later Thomas and Granville M. Hogan (are they related?) migrate to the same Township in 1860 Harrison County, Missouri.
Because of this information, I am unable connect this Thomas Hogan to our clan or trace our Thomas Hogan.
(11). Hester or Ester Hogan was born August 1821 in Kentucky (1900 Census record) and married on 19 March 1846 Fulton County, Illinois to Landrine Tatum, born 8 August 1827 Illinois and living 1920 in Texas. Hester’s marriage record lists her as “Ester Hogan.” Ester died after June 1902 and the Ocheyedan Press (19 June 1902) stated she was born in Kentucky. Landrine Tatum was born 8 September 1827 and died 23 November 1923.
The search for their census records from 1880 to 1910 was not helpful pinpointing the birthplace of Hester’s parents - see census records at the end of this write-up. They lived in the following locations:
1850 Locust Grove, Jefferson County, Iowa
1860 Paris Township, Linn County, Iowa
1862 “Hester Hogan Tatum” member, Bethel Baptist Church, Fulton County, Ill.
1870 Webster Township, Floyd County, Iowa
1880, 1885 Ocheyden Township, Osceola County, Iowa
1900 Eastern Precinct, Knox County, Nebraska
1920 Town of Palacios, Matagorda County, Texas. Landrine without Hester in the family of Clenton A. and Julia Tatum.
Children are (i) James Tatum 1846/47 Iowa, (ii) Sabittia(?) Tatum 1848/49, (iii) Nancy Rebecca Tatum 1849/50, born Kentucky, (iv) Asbury Tatum, 1851/52, Iowa; (v) Rosetta or Rosannah Tatum 1852/55, Iowa, (vi) Lydia Tatum 1852/55, Iowa, (vii) Margrett or Margaret Tatum 1856/57 Iowa, (viii) Landrine Tatum 1858/59, Kansas, (ix) Mary 1860/61 Kansas, (x) Henry C. Tatum 1863/64 Iowa. These name and dates are compiled from the census records, and should be considered suspect. In 1900, Ester
stated on her census record that she had 10 children, seven of which were still living. Thanks go to Gary Tharp for helping to better define this family.
(12). Francis W. Hogan was born after 1821 and probably the youngest. Francis is reported in the 1834-35 probate. He or she disappears from our records.
An Hogan parent or relative becomes sharply limited in 1777 Tennessee Territory to three Hogans. All three did migrate to Middle Tennessee about 1780.
(1) Edward + Rebecca Kuykendall Hogan,
(2) Daniel (~1733-1811) + Rachel (__) Harrod Hogan. Was he married earlier?
(3) Humphrey (~1740's-1789/90) + Rebecca Hogan
Negative find: An in-depth review took place of the William Hogan (~1750-1827) + Nancy Wadleigh (1752-~1779) + Sarah Grant Fullington (1760) + Hannah H. Mayes line from Fayette/Garrard County, to Knox County, Kentucky to Madison County, Alabama, where he dies. No link could be found, despite some amazing similarities and the intersection of the two William Hogan families at Knox County, Kentucky in 1810!
Negative find: The clan of Colonel John Hogan (~1745-~1810) + Mary Lloyd was reviewed with the help of their source book, “Montgomery County, Tennessee Family History Book 2000.” No link could be found, despite having a son named William Hogan (1774 to1836 - buried Hopewell Methodist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, North Carolina) and that William had a son Alexander Washington Hogan!
Negative find: William Hogan of Smith County, Tennessee (possibly son of Lemuel Hogan) had an 1815 probate naming his heirs to be wife Nancy, and two sons, William and James, and daughter Elizabeth, who later married Holden W. Proutt. No link could be found when it was discovered that William, James and Elizabeth later moved to Franklin County, Alabama, before 1830.
Positive find, but not the parents of our William Hogan: There is a Hogan line that first settled at Willis Bottom, Obey River, in today’s Clay County, Tennessee. This William Hogan, born in 1777 South Carolina, married Mary Spear, daughter of Benjamin Spear. They had 10 children from ~1810 to 1829 and lived in Overton County, Tennessee. His father, James Hogan, Sr., possibly an immigrant, migrated from 1790 Union County, South Carolina to earliest Lincoln County, Kentucky and possibly died in Overton County, Tennessee. William’s brothers are believed to be Prosser Hogan, David Hogan, James Hogan Jr., Phillip Hogan, and Micajah Hogan, who moved to Kentucky at various times between ~1783 and 1800.
To our complete surprise, Y-DNA results showed about 2 mismatches or mutations out of 37 markers to this line. This indicated a definite relationship to a common Hogan ancestor further back in time, possibly in Ireland. Research is now looking into this.
The Most Likely Parent: The Hogans and Morphew named their sons "Humphrey" four different times and one might speculate that this name derived from an earlier ancestor. There was a Humphrey Hogan (born in 1740’s and died 1789/90) who was part of an exploring or “Long Hunter” party into Nashville area and down the Mississippi River in 1769 or 1770. Humphrey Hogan first pioneered NE Tennessee between 1771 - 1774, before migrating to Middle Tennessee as a first-in settler in 1779 or 1780. The names of his children were mostly speculative. After his death in 1789/90, his Robertson County land continued under the title of Humphrey Hogan heirs, but was later sold off for back taxes. However in 1804/05, his wife Rebecca surfaced, now remarried to William Hines, to acknowledge the sale of the land for back taxes. This was witnessed by Walter Hogan, Jonathan Hogan, and Humphrey Hogan.
(XI). MISCELLANEOUS SIGHTINGS IN EARLY TENNESSEE FOR ANY WILLIAM HOGAN
The name "William Hogan" was sighted a number of times, whose Hogan line was unclear.
(1). Robertson County has a William Hogan who owed back taxes on 471 acres for the years 1801 and 1802. The Robertson County Court ordered the Sheriff to sell the lands (From Robertson County Minutes Books, 1796-1807, pages 208, 218, 219.) This land was probably the 1796 North Carolina Land Grant #2694 to William Hogan for 500 acres on or near Drake's Lick (Creek) in Sumner County prior to Robertson County being established. The 1796 land grant would seem make our William Hogan too young (age 19) to be a land owner, or does it?
(2). The Tennessee Gazette and Mero District Newspaper recorded on 25 April 1804 that there was a letter remaining at the Nashville Post Office for William C. Hogan. This was repeated again on 20 July 1804. Who William C. Hogan is not known at this time.
(3). The March 1809 Montgomery County Court ordered John Cocke, Sheriff of Montgomery County, Tennessee to transfer debt for the year 1807, noting the following persons as being insolvent (failure to pay taxes): William Hogan – one white poll for 0.43.3/4 (From Montgomery County Court Minutes 1808-1810, page 205). In my opinion, this William Hogan probably does not belong to the Colonel John Hogan mob whom were so active in this county.
(4). There is a William Hogan mentioned on a 1788 William Colier land grant (recorded) in Greene County, Tennessee, adjoining land he purchased from John Byrd, William Hogan, and Samuel John, on the Noachuckey River. This could be the same William Hogan whom signed a December 1787 petition by the inhabitants of the “State of Franklin” requesting entry into the United States. Adjacent to this signature was the name of Ralph Hogan, whose first name is one never used by our gang. Nothing else is yet known about this individual. One line of speculation is that he was an American Revolutionary War soldier searching for land to settle before moving on to South Carolina (see 1790 U.S. Census for South Carolina).
(XII). Y-DNA RESULT FOR OUR HOGAN AND WHAT IT MEANS
My understanding of Y-DNA testing is this: Y-DNA is found exclusively in males and the testing applies only to consecutive male lines. This cannot include even one maternal line. Certain segments of the y-chromosome have a chemical make-up that repeat a number of times, depending on a specific location on that chromosome. This location is called a marker. For the marker called DYS388, there are 22 to 24+ repeats, and only those having the same number should be related. Mutations change the number of repeats and are said to occur at the rate of 0.2% (0-.4%) per generation. As the number of generations increase, Y-DNA tests will show an increasing number of mutations. Current Y-DNA testing uses 13, 25, 37, or 59 markers.
Already in Hogan Y-DNA testing, a thirteen marker test has been shown to be not enough, when a descendant of Colonel John Hogan (Tennessee) was matched for 13 markers against South Carolina's William Hogan, born 1777. Added marker testing later showed they were not related.
Y-DNA tests DO NOT define which generation or which ancestor is the common link. With an increasing number of markers tested, a likely range of generations for the common ancestor does develop, best with 0 mismatches, a wider range with 1 mismatch and with 2 mismatches even wider and further back in time.
A living descendant of William Hogan (1777 Estill County, Ky.) was tested for 37 markers against a descendant of Walter G. Hogan. The results can be seen at http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/h/hogan/results.html. The test subject H-8 is Walter G. Hogan and H-9 is our William Hogan, Sr. (1777 - 1826 Estill County, Ky.). H-6 Ewing Hogan is a son of H-2 William Hogan (1777 South Carolina) + Mary Spear. I have no idea who H-10 William Hogan – 1803 Missouri might be.
Our two test subjects, H-8 and H-9 had a score of 37 out of 37 markers matching. That means no mutations occurred over the six generations to the most recent common ancestor under consideration. This would be Humphrey Hogan – the Long Hunter, born sometime in the 1740's. Generally speaking, matching 37 out of 37 markers is best for 1 to 4 generations back in time, and then further back the chances for a perfect score drop off very fast. A graph shown on http://www.familytreedna.com indicates a 92% chance that the common ancestor is 6 generations back in time, if he cannot be sooner in time. There is an 8% chance he could be further back in time. Therefore, based on this graph, there is a 92% chance that Humphrey Hogan – the Long Hunter is the father of our William Hogan.
H-2, H-6, and H-10 appear to average 2 mutations or mismatches if all testing went to 37 markers. Ewing Hogan actually has only one mismatch out of 25, but I think a 37 test would probably total 2 mismatches. Yes, these three lines are very definitely related to us, but further back in time, maybe even back in Ireland.
