This chapter covers the following Hogans from Union County, South Carolina.
(AAA). James Hogan, Sr. (ca1735/40 to ~1810 Overton Co., TN – last known location). Wife of Senior is unclear. Senior member to this Hogan line.
Children are:
(AA-A) – James Hogan, Jr. or “II” (~1760/65 to beyond 1811 Overton Co., TN - last known location) + 1st wife Conney noted in 1787. Second wife uncertain, but appears to have married 1788 Lincoln Co., KY to Jean Rogers, also named as Jinny and Jane. Senior migrates with Junior to same locations. In 1820, Jane Hogan (1776/80 to 1831 Calloway Co., KY - last known location), likely his widow, is named in the US Census of Overton Co., KY, and in Callaway Co., KY tax records from 1823 to 1831. James Hogan, Jr’s. children:
(A-1). Young Hogan (1788 to 1853 Marion Co., AR and buried now at Oakland Cemetery, Mountain Home, Baxter Co., AR per findagrave.com.) Reported to marry 1st to Sally Sevier (~1793) and 2nd to Amy Risley and had 7 children.
(A-2). Ewing Hogan / Ewin Hogan (1795 to 1860 and buried now at Oakland Cemetery, Baxter Co. AR per findagrave.com.). Married Tabitha __. Magistrate of Sugar Loaf Township, AR in 1828.
(A-3x). (Placement likely here). Micajah Hogan (1807/08 to 1860 Howell Co. MO – last known) and wife Mary _. Found first in Calloway Co., KY with Jane Hogan and Young Hogan, although not living near them. Be careful, there are two Micajah Hogans.
(A-4) and (A-5). Two daughters, names unknown, born on or before 1790, per 1790 US Census.
(AA-B) – Micajah Hogan (ca1765 to 1844 Hickman Co., KY) + wife Elizabeth; South Carolina - Union Co.; Kentucky – Madison & Lincoln & Pulaski & Hickman Counties; Tennessee – Stewart Co. One known daughter is (C-1). Polly Hogan (~1786) + Simon Alderson.
(BB-A) – William Hogans (1750/52 to 1805 Union County, South Carolina) + wife Nancy Dillard (1753 to 1838). His placement in the 1790 US Census of Union Co., SC suggests William Hogans to be a son of James Hogan, Sr., but his estimated birthdate suggests a different undetermined relationship. Children:
(B-1). Elizabeth Hogans married Gibson Yarborough
(B-2). Winnifred Hogans married Young L. Dozier
(B-3). Nancy Hogans
(B-4). James Hogans (early 1780’s to 1830+ last known date)

(B-7). William Hogan “II” (1782 to 1860+) + wife Mary _. Found in an 1810 Overton Co., TN 1810 deed and last known location of 1860 Clay Co., TN, formerly Overton County.
(BB-x) – Original Hogan / Ridge Hogan (died 1791 Union Co., SC.).
James Hogan, Sr. (1735/40 to 1810 – last known record) and Family Line
(AAA). Overview on James Hogan Sr.’s Origins
First Generation - James Hogan, Sr. (ca1735/40 to 1810+ Tennessee) has confusion on his origins. He could be an immigrant to South Carolina, but in the past, several websites pointed to a James Hogan of Orange County, Virginia – who appears to have no record there. So far, no Virginia connection has been found, unless he might be James Hogan from Prince William + Fauquier Co., VA.
Estimating James Hogan, Sr.’s Birthdate
Estimating the birth date of James Hogan, Sr. is very difficult and future research could change this. His last record was in 1810 Overton County, Tennessee. One rough birthdate estimation could be made using this. 1810 – 1735/40 = age 70-75. Compared to Junior’s birthdate estimation of ~1760/64, this ca1735-40 date might seem reasonable.
The 1790 US Census of South Carolina shows us how close James Hogan, Sr. and Jr., and William Hogan lived to each other. This census shows Senior, likely with a wife and a packed household which likely includes more than one family or Senior included his children/grandchildren who were not living with him.
1790 US Census of Union District 96, South Carolina (image 6/9) – Census is not alphabetically arranged:
* James Hogan – 3 w. males 16+, 5 w. males under 16, 2 females any age, 2 blacks. He is next to:
William Hogan – 1 male 16+, 4 males under 16, 4 w. females, 1 black. He is 3 places from the next entry who is:
James Hogan, Jr. – 1 male 16+, 1 male under 16, 3 females, no blacks. Notice that there is one male under age 16 (born 1784 to 1790). Much further away on same page is
Micajah Hogan: 1 male 16+, 4 males under 16, no females, 1 black.
Look how close William Hogans was to James Hogan, Sr. in the census. This might point to being as a brother, or does it? Problem is William Hogan birth estimation is 1750/52 (see his listing). If correctly interpreted, this makes William Hogan too young to be a son unless something is wrong with the estimations or information!
Puzzle: Wives of James Hogan Sr. & Jr.
Names of the wives of James Hogan Senior and Junior rarely surface and are a real problem. Family records do not exist to help us. Rumors that Senior first married an Indian wife appear just that and this researcher was unable to find a credible source. James Hogan, Junior married Conny, who is clearly noted in a 27 September 1787 Union County, South Carolina deed.* Soon thereafter, a “James Hogan” is found in a 6 May 1788 Lincoln County, Kentucky marriage record to Jean Rogers, daughter of Anthony and Isabella Rogers ** (county record). Immediately, two questions arise: (1) Does she belong to our subjects? (2) Which James Hogan married her? This researcher (J Murphy) believes James Hogan, Junior did marry Jean Rogers who was the widow Jane Hogan in later years. The name “Jean” is the Scottish name for “Jane.” Given that Jean is Jane and she married our subject, Jean / Jane Rogers Hogan were married 24 years at the time of the last known James Hogan, Jr. 1810 records in Overton Co., TN.
* Union Co., SC DB B/43, image 323/532
** Anthony Rogers had a 3/17/1781 Virginia Land Grant of 250 acres on Crab Orchard Creek in (old) Lincoln County, KY. Madison Co., KY minutes last show Anthony Rogers on an August 1791 jury. The 1810 US Census of Mason Co., KY later names Isabella Rogers, age 45+ as head of household with a family.

Madison Co. KY Court Order Book A, 1787 - 1791 by Jackie Couture 2006
In addition, Lincoln County marriage records list a James Hogan 17 February 1789 marriage to Polly Simpson, with mother being Mary Simpson (county record). No one seems to connect this wife to any known James Hogan. So far, nothing further has been found on Polly and Mary Simpson.
Where James Hogan, Sr. and Jr. Migrated to after South Carolina
Our subject Hogans did live in Lincoln County, Kentucky and the Jean Rogers marriage indicates at least one (most likely), Junior was in Kentucky by 1788. Madison Co., KY tax records list one in 1791 and both in 1795. In 1796, they move on to Lincoln County, Kentucky and live there until 1802. In 1806, both James Hogan Senior and Junior purchase lands in Jackson County, Tennessee, in that part which soon becomes Overton County, Tennessee in 1807. After 1810/1811, both sell out and their trail seems lost. Another possibility is that Junior continued to live on another Overton County tract of land after his 1811 grantor deed. James Hogan, Senior sold out in 1810 when he was about the age 70-75 and one might question if he, too, really moved away. Jackson & Overton court houses had fires and lost many records. No will or estate administration has yet been found for either Hogan which could better define their final years.
Daughters of James Hogan, Sr.
(AA-A) James Hogan, Jr. (1760/65 to 1810 Overton Co., TN – last known record): The 1790 US Census of Union County suggests he has two possible daughters and one son. Names of these two daughters never surface. There may be later daughters, but none have been found on any records.
Estimating Birthdates for James Hogan, Jr. and Jean/Jane Rogers
James Hogan, Jr.’s birth date is not known, but the 1790 US Census of South Carolina, suggests he is already married and has a wife and three children. Using this, let’s begin by estimating his marriage date: 1790 – 5 years of marriage = possibly 1785 for a marriage date. Junior was old enough to serve in the American Revolution: 1781 – 16 years minimum age = 1765 birth year or earlier. His estimated birth date used here will be ~1760 to ~1765. This could change with better information.
Jean Rogers Hogan’s birth date can be estimated using Jane Hogan’s 1820 and 1830 US Census records.
1820 US Census of Overton Co., TN: Jane Hogan – 1 male + 2 females 0-9, 1 female 25-44. (Oldest female is born 1776 to 1795)
1830 US Census of Calloway, Kentucky: Jane Hogan – 1 male + 2 females 0-9, 1 female 50-59. (Oldest female is born 1771 to 1780).
Combining the two census records, Jane Hogan is estimated born between 1776 and 1780.

1786 August 8 – Union County, South Carolina: Deed from Hezekiah Gentry and “Catarine” his wife of Edgefield County, South Carolina to James Hogans of Union County, SC, for 100 pounds Sterling, Plantation or tract of land, 197 ½ acres in Union County, Fork between Broad and Tygar Rivers on a branch of Tygar River called Bogans Creek…bounded to Isaac Hollingswork…land granted to Hezekiah Gentry. Signed Hezekiah Gentry and Catarine “x” Gentry. Witnesses John Jekins, Robert Leverille, and “Ridge Hogins.” Recorded 25 December 1787. (DB B/14)
In 1787, Micajah Hogan, James Hogan, and a half dozen other people are taken to Union County, South Carolina Court for assault and battery on Luke Currell (in separate and combined cases). Micajah Hogan is dropped and Currell pays the court costs. James Hogan is not so lucky. Union County Court papers record a James Hogan a number of times from 1786 to 1795, mainly as a defendant, sometimes as a plaintiff. At one point in 1787, he assaulted a county constable. Actually, James Hogan shows up five more times when “Junior” and “Senior” are used in their names to separate them on several deed transactions. The other times are a problem. Which James Hogan - Senior or Junior is the court involved with? Court records never mention which one and this reviewer is left puzzled. One gets the feeling that James Hogan, Senior is making most of the records in Union County from 1780 to 1793/95. Believe James Hogan, Jr. had already moved to Kentucky by 1791. Their surname is frequently spelled “Hogans” during these South Carolina years.
Union County, South Carolina Minutes of the County Court 1785-1799 by Brent H. Holcomb, 1979.
1787 September 27 – Union County, South Carolina: Deed from James Hogans, Junior and wife Conny of Union County, SC to James Hogan, Sr., 100 pounds sterling, 197 ½ acres (error – should be 100 acres), land in Union County in the fork between the Broad and Tyger River Rivers on a branch of Tyger River on Bogins Creek…boundary to Isaac Hollingsworth…. Signed James Hogins (seal) and Conny Hogans, her x. Witnesses - John Wood, William Hogins, James Barester, his x. Later signed at time of court – H. Hogan, John Wood, and James Banaster, his x. (DB B/43, image 323/532)
On 21 January 1793, James Hogans, Jr. sold 97 ½ acres of this land to Robert Kennedy, both of the same county, for 72 pounds Sterling. Signed James Hogans, Jun. Witnesses – Joseph Broch, Wm. Orrel Brock, and Joseph King. Recorded 2 September 1793. (Image 153/674, DB C/276/7)
On 28 August 1793, James Hogans, Senior sold 100 acres of this land for 50 pounds Sterling to Robert Forner, both of Union County, SC. Signed - James Hogans Sr. with witnesses – Joseph King, Wm. Hogan, and Joseph Comes. Recorded 2 September 1793. (Image 154/674, DB C/278)
There is confusion on the original 1787 deed which should have deeded only 100 acres of this land to James Hogan(s), Senior. An awkward attempt to correct this was done on a later deed which was not copied here.
1788 May 6 – Lincoln County, Kentucky: James Hogan married Jean Rogers, daughter of Anthony and Isabella Rogers (county record).**
1790 US Census of Union District/District 96, South Carolina (image 6/9) – not alphabetically arranged:
James Hogan – 3 w. males 16+, 5 w. males under 16, 2 females any age, 2 blacks. He is next to:

Elizabeth Hogan purchased 150 acres of land 2 October 1790 on the Thickety and sold it as 128 acres on 28 December 1791. (DB C/29 and D/48). There are no other clues to her identity or husband’s name. There remains 22 acres unaccounted and possibly she remarried and could not be traced.
1790 April 23 – District 96, South Carolina: To James Hawkins, a plat for 228 acres on Bogans Creek, Tyger River, 96 District, surveyed by Bernard Glenn. Names on the plat are George Asford, Bernard Glenn, James Hawkins, James Hogan, William Hogan, Jacob Hollingsworth, Posey Lewallen, Robert Wilson.

Problem with researching early South Carolina is that there another William Hogan who had an older brother James Hogan. Both can be found on the 1790 US Census of “Fairfield County, S.C.” as opposed to our subjects who are listed at “Union District/96 District, S.C.” Both counties are not far apart. This Fairfield County William Hogan stated on his Revolutionary War Pension Application that he was born 1760 in South Carolina. His father was not named, but is a descendant of the William Hogan – Elizabeth Griffin line – see their separate chapter.
1791-Madison Co, Kentucky Tax List:
Susanna Hogan 0001, #115/1247. Note: She is no-where near the other Hogans.
David Hogan 1001, March 11, #124/1247. Next to Prosser Hogan in “H” list
Prosser Hogan 1004, March 11, #124/1247
James Hogan 1001, March 22, #124/1247
Numbers such as 115/1247 indicate which image was read from the familysearch.org film – 115 the image and 1247 total images in the microfilm. Tax listings are grouped in A’s, B’s, C’s, but once with-in one of these groups, names are sequentially based on what date the taxes were taken. Those with the same tax date likely lived near one another. Numbers such as 1004 are: #1 white male 21+, #2 blacks 16+, #3 total blacks, and #4 horses. Numbers such as 100170 are: #1 are white males 21+, #2 white males 16-20, #3 and #4 are blacks, #5 horses, #6 cattle. This number system constantly changes. “Senior” in county records refers to an adult with the same name who is older, not necessarily father – son. In regard to James Hogan, Sr. and Jr., they appear to be father-son.
1792 January 6 and 1795 June 3 – Union County, South Carolina: Two court cases for “James Hogan” were filed in court. The last one was James Hogan versus Henry Miller and Josiah Wood. The defendants failed to appear and the case was awarded to the plaintiff.
Union County, South Carolina Minutes of the County Court 1785-1799 by Brent H. Holcomb, 1979., pages 72, 87, 85.
These records suggest one of the James Hogans had migrated to Kentucky in or before 1791 while the other was still making records in South Carolina until 1795. But furthermore, the 1791 Madison County, Kentucky James Hogan had no blacks. Senior had two blacks in 1790 and Junior had none.

No witnesses. Entered Court 7 March 1797. (DB D/209, image 123/415).
1798 November 6, Tuesday – Madison County, Kentucky Court: A deed from James Hogan and “Jinny his wife” to John Reed, Jr. was acknowledged, femme relinquished and ordered recorded.
Madison County Kentucky Court Order Book B 1791-1801, Jackie Couture, 2006, page 231.
1798 November 6 – Madison County, Kentucky: Deed from James Hogan and Ginney his wife of Lincoln County, Kentucky to John Reed, Jr, of Madison County, for 150 lbs., 124 acres lying in Madison County on the dividing ridge between waters of Harts Fork and Hays Fork of Silver Creek. Signed James Hogan, Ginney Hogan. Court 6 November 1798. (DB D/521, 279/415).
Ginney is reported here in 1798 and that makes about 10 years of marriage with James Hogan, but which one? Notice that Hogan moved from Madison County to Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1796. There was no James Hogan in 1797 & 1799 Madison County Tax Records (no 1798 tax record). This deed is also important because it states they had moved on to Lincoln County, KY. This helps to eliminate another Kentucky James Hogan “II” (1752 – 1811), so on James and Silence Hogan who lived elsewhere in Kentucky.

1806 March 24 – Overton County, Tennessee Deed Book: John Sevier deeded 150 acres on Obed’s River to James Hogan. Indenture between John Sevier of Knox Co., TN and James Hogan of Jackson Co., TN…for $300…parcel/tract lying in Jackson County on Obed’s River…containing 150 acres, beginning on the bank of the river, being the NW corner of said Hogans whereon he now lives…the above courses meandering the same.

Overton Co., Tn was established from Jackson Co. TN in 1806. This above James Hogan should be Junior. John Sevier, the grantor is Tennessee Governor John Sevier and this appears to be a Tennessee land grant.
1806 April 9 – Overton Co., TN Deed Book: Indenture (grant) between John Sevier of Knox Co., TN to James Hogin, Sen’r of Jackson County, TN…for $200…tract/parcel of land containing 155 acres lying in Jackson Co., TN…to a stake supposed to be on James Hogan, Junior’s line.

Notice this deed was in Kentucky and states James Hogan was already living in Tennessee. This is our proof where James Hogan moved. The land is so cheaply sold that one might wonder if James Miller is somehow related.
1808 November 11 – Overton Co., TN: Indenture between James Hogan, Junior of Overton Co., TN to Young Hogan and Ewin Hogan of the other part…for $800…tract/parcel of land lying in Overton Co., TN on Obey’s River containing about 300 acres…boundaries bank of river near the mouth of a gut, thence meander of the river.

Witnesses summoned in the intervening time seemed to center upon Sarah Smith, with others named being John Lee Jr., Mark Lee, Charles Lee, and William Lee. The defendant failed to appear in court. In 17 September 1819 Court, the Sheriff of Stewart Co., TN was ordered to find him. Finally, in 29 August 1820, this court final: “This day came James Rodgers, Esquire, Solicitor General for Prosecution for the State, it appearing that the defendant cannot be regularly prosecuted. It is therefore ordered by the Court that a Nole Prosequi be entered for this prosecution….” “Nolle Prosequi” appears to mean here that the prosecution does not wish to continue to prosecute.

Do not confuse with two other Ewing Hogans (born December 1853 “A2a-4) and (~1849 “A1g”) born about the same time in Marion County. Married about 1888 to Laura Belle Burress (1868-1940). Findagrave.com reports children are (A2d-1) Belva Irene Hogan Doles (1894-1977), (A2d-2) Joseph Hogan (1899-1981), (A2d-3) Ada Hogan Black (1904-1986), (A2d-4) Raymond Hogan (1908-1984), (A2d-5) Virgil Hogan (1911-1988).

(A-3x). (Parents? Father likely to be James Hogan, Jr.). Micajah Hogan (1807/08 to 1860+ Howell Co., MO – last known location) + married about 1828 to Mary __ (~1811 to beyond 1860). Be careful - there are two different Micajah Hogans. Websites in the past suggest the parents of this Micajah Hogan to be James Hogan (Jr.) and Jean Rogers, but fail to show evidence. This researcher (JM) notes census records for Ewing Hogan, Young Hogan, and Jane Hogan are not much help determining his parents. Not helpful is his 1850 census which states he was born in Kentucky and 1860 states Tennessee. County courthouses of Calloway, Weakley, Izard and Marion lost many or all their records in fires. Reconstructing these Hogans without family records is difficult.
1828 to 1833 – Calloway County, Kentucky Tax Book (No 1830 Tax Book): Micajah Hogan with one tax poll and 1 horse. There are no Calloway County deeds for any Hogan and Calloway County wills begin in 1836. Detailing from this county is difficult to find.
1830 US Census of Weakley County, Tennessee: Mica Hogan 1 male 0-9, 1 female 15-20, 1 male 20-29 (page 338). Weakley County, TN is close to Calloway Co., KY.

About 1839 or 1840, “Trail of Tears” Cherokee and Creek Indians from Alabama and Georgia came through Marion County, Arkansas in the winter on their way to Oklahoma. Many Indians did not have enough clothing for the cold nights. “One night after they encamped, a ‘large fine looking’ man came to the Indian Camp.” His name was Micajah Hogan who had recently arrived in the country. His older brother Ewing had preceded him by several years with both coming from Kentucky. He came to gamble with the Indians and won some money the first day and lost most of it all the next day. One Indians named “Benge” became angry and drew a pistol, but then handed the gun to Micajah who refused to take it. Whereupon Benge said the white man had taken their homes and forced them to go to a land that they knew nothing about. Hogan replied that he had nothing to do with it and Benge replied “but your people did and I hate them all alike.”

(AA-B) Micajah Hogan (ca1765 to March 1844 Hickman Co., KY) + wife Elizabeth
Overview of Micajah Hogan (ca1765 to 1844) and wife Elizabeth
(AA-B) Micajah Hogan (born ca1765 to 1844 Hickman Co. Kentucky) has a wife named Elizabeth and a daughter (A3a) Polly Hogan (~1784), who is not found on his 1790 census (no young female). He has no known sons, despite four males less than age 16 on his 1790 census. Micajah is essential to these research efforts because his name is easy to trace and he moves with the two James Hogans until 1797 Kentucky. Easy to trace…at least until another younger Micajah Hogan (b. 1807/08) surfaces (A-3x).
This Micajah Hogan is most likely a brother to James Hogan, Jr., who enlisted at the same exact time in 1780 as a South Carolina soldier in the American Revolution.

Several problems with Micajah’s 1790 census are that he had a daughter named Polly Hogan who married in 1802 Pulaski County, Kentucky. The census does not show her. There is another Micajah Hogan (1808 to 1870) - a gambler, a Trail of Tears witness, who must not be confused but should not pose separation problems.

He has three daughters – (B-1) Elizabeth Hogans, (B-2) Winnifred Hogans, (B-3) Nancy Hogans and four sons – (B-4) James Hogans, (B-5) Thomas Hogans, (B-6) Original Hogans / “Ridgeway Hogans”, and (B-7) William Hogan (~1782 – 1860) + wife Mary. William Hogans “II” was executor for his father and later moves to Overton Co., TN. Son - James Hogans (ca1788) is traceable to 1830 Pickens County, South Carolina before becoming lost.
Currently this researcher (JM, 9/2020) believes William Hogans (~1750/52 to 1805) is not a son of James Hogan, Sr., and is more distantly related.
Comments on wife - Nancy Dillard’s Birthdate
His wife Nancy is reported born 9 Sept 1753 at Buckingham County, Virginia and died 10 August 1838 at Jones County, VA and reported buried at Owens Cemetery. Both Buckingham County and the Owens Cemetery need confirming. Based on her 1800 census record, Nancy’s estimated birth date, age 26 to 44, would be 1756 or later. The reported birth date of 9 September 1753 may be more accurate. Nancy Dillard, daughter of James Dillard, has a marriage bond 17 January 1780 at Henry County, Virginia (county record). Search for other Hogans in/near Henry Co., VA at this time is incomplete, but so far nothing has been found.
Estimating a Birth Date for William Hogans
Birth date estimation for William Hogans (died 1805) is a real problem. His 1800 US census states he is age 45 or older, his wife less than age 45. This would suggest an estimated birthdate of 1750/55, but if older than wife Nancy, then 1750/52 could be reasonable. Per his 1805 Union County will, William Hogans notes some of his children are not yet adults. That would make these younger children’s birth dates: 1805 – 21 = 1784 or later. If his 1790 and 1800 census records include all his seven children, then he had 4 sons and 3 daughters living with him both times and this is the number of sons and daughters in his 1805 will. Others records suggest two sons – William Hogan was born 1782 SC (per 1850 Census) and James Hogan born ~1781/84.

1800 US Census of Union District, South Carolina – there are two William Hogan, William Hogans:
“William Hogans” – 1 or 2? males and 3 females 0-9, 1 male + 2 females 26-44, 1 female 45+ (Image 46/76). There is no neighbor in common comparing 1790 with 1800. Could be related to the 1803 Union County grantor deed of William and Catherine Hogan (see below). At this time, this researcher (J. Murphy) is unsure who this 1st William Hogan is. He appears to be too old to be the son of our subject William Hogan (d. 1805).
“William Hogan” – 2 males 0-9, 1 male + 2 females 10-15, 1 male + 1 female 16-25, 1 female 26-44, 1 male 45+ (Image 29/76). Has some nearby 1790/1800 neighbors on the census – Benj. Hollinsworth and Annet Underwood. This is our subject William Hogan (d. 1805).
1801 __ 14 – Union District, South Carolina: William Hogan deeded to Henry Stringfellow, both of Union County, for $500, 226 acres, bounded to Morgens…John Ragsdale…to land granted to John Speakes...boundaries to Danl.

Signed. William “x” Hogans. Witnesses – John Cooper, James Garily. Wife agrees to sale – Catherine Hogans, her X. Recorded 5 April 1803. (DB G/381, Image 380/657)
This deed is a problem. Our subject’s wife is named Nancy and not Catherine. This might be William Hogan, Jr., but could be someone else.
