Hogans from Hanover, Louisa and Goochland, Counties, Virginia – A Reconstruction

(Suggestion – Use your navigation search to move to a specific section; i.e., enter Part-G or G-2).  This update 8 November 2022, planetmurphy.org, James R. Murphy.   Theses later revisions better define John Hogan (ca1735 - ~1773) + wife Judith, their son Daniel Hogan (~1754) and permits better placement of the two other John Hogans in these counties (B-4) and (Section-C).    A discussion is made on whether there is two different James Hogan in early Louisa and Hanover Counties, Virginia.    

 

This Chapter Has the Following Hogans – Overall View

 

(Section-A). Hugh Hogan (ca1680) is noted in 1719-1742, first in a New Kent County, Virginia grant, next in Hanover County, Virginia merchant and land grant records.  His wife is never named.  Hanover County and New Kent Courthouse records cannot help us because most records have been lost.   When he died in 1743/44, he had a son named Zachariah Hogan who was not yet adult age.   Zachariah Hogan later wrote that he had a brother by the name of William Hogan.   Not enough information exists to make this family reconstruction certain, but clues do suggest the following presentation.  Recent findings now indicate his sons to be William Hogan and Zachariah Hogan.

 

(Part-A). William Hogan “I” (ca1710 to 27 December 1789 Goochland, Co., VA); Married 1^st to Mary Mills (1720s – 1796+), daughter of Charles & Ann Mills.  Married 2^nd ~1785 to Susannah _ (Williams?) – (use SH-1 to track 2^nd wife).  Merchant in Hanover Co., planter in Louisa Co., American Revolutionary Soldier in Virginia’s Continental Army, and final days in Goochland Co., VA.  Seven known children:

 

(A-1). William Hogan “II” (ca1745 to ~1780 in American Revolution).  No heirs.

(A-2). Elizabeth Hogan

(A-3). Francis Hogan

(A-4). Ann Hogan + John Mallory

 

(A-5) John M. Hogan (born ~1786); Mother is Susanna Hogan (SH-1)

(A-6). Lucy Hogan (born ~1789); Mother is Susanna Hogan.  Last 2 documented by Goochland Co. Court.  Yes, they are the children of William Hogan “I.” 

 

(A-7?) or (A-8?) James Hogan - in Louisa and Hanover Co., VA.   Migrated away about 1807/1808.     Debate – Was there one or two James Hogans?  Details debated at (ZZZ).        

(A-7?) James Hogan (~1751 to 1823 Simpson Co., KY) + _ + Mary Peers of Louisa County, Virginia.  Next, they migrate to Green Co., KY in 1808.   Children of Green/Simpson Co. KY’s James Hogan (~1751 – 1823) are: (A7a). Alexander P. Hogan (1783 VA-1881); (A7b). (candidate) William B. Hogan (1780/90-1835); (A7c). Nathaniel S. Hogan (1806 VA-1870); (A7d). (Uncertain placement) John Hogan (ca1790 to 1816) of Green Co., KY; (A7e).  Female, name unknown, born 1795-1800.       

(A-8?) with details in (Section-E).  James Hogan born ca1735, lived in Hanover Co., VA  from ? to about 1808 and migrated to and lived in Bedford Co., VA  from 1809 until his death in ~1825 Bedford Co. VA.   Children are: (E1a). Peter Hogan (Died February 1777 American Revolution); (E1b). John Hogan (Died January 1777 American Revolution); (E1c). David Hogan (Died December 1776 American Revolution); (E1d). Elizabeth Hogan (1779-1859 Hanover County, VA) + Solomon Harris (1779 to 1869).  Purchased 1799 land in Louisa Co., VA which was very close to James Hogan; (E1e). Overton Hogan (last record 1804); (E1f). Elisha Hogan; (E1g) Polly Hogan (~1790); (E1h). James Hogan Jr. or “II” (~1793 to 1850+ Bedford Co., VA); (E1i). Milly Hogan (~1794); (E1j). Anna Hogan, “Amy.”

 

(Part-B). Zachariah Hogan (ca1724/30 to 1787 will) + wife, likely a daughter of John Power.  Children:

(B/1). Hugh Hogan (died 1790); (B/2) Molly Hogan; (B/3) Susanna Hogan

(B/4). John Hogan (ca1745 – 1798 Garrard Co. Kentucky) and Elizabeth Penax likely belong here because of naming patterns.  First records in Louisa Co., VA.  Downside: Zach – John age separation.  See their separate chapter.  Children: (B4a). Lewis Hogan; (B4b) Edmund Hogan; (B4c) Zachariah Hogan (1783 to 1849 Adams Co. Illinois) + Delilah Marksberry + Elizabeth Doty; (B4d). Sarah Hogan (~1790 to 1866 Switzerland Co. Indiana) + Samuel Mennet; (B4e) John M. Hogan (~1788 to 1865 Fayette County, Kentucky) + Margaret Ann Baker; (B4f) William Hogan (1790/95 to beyond 1825+) + Mary Arnold + Polly Board; (B4g) Elizabeth Hogan; (4h) Elihu Hogan (~1788 to 1850+) + Isabella Roety

 

(Section-B). John Hogan (ca1730/35 to 1772/74) + Judith _ (1730s – 1800+) of Louisa Co., VA.    Poorly understood and would expect a son named John Hogan, Jr., but no evidence yet.  Lived in Louisa Co., VA.   Must be separated from another John Hogan (ca1745 – 1798 KY) who shows up for the first time in 1776 Louisa County records, son of Zachariah Hogan.  Children – Only one son known so far:

(B-1). Daniel Hogan (~1754), noted on a 1771 tax with this John Hogan and 1774 in a lawsuit of Judith Hogan, defendant from 1797-1803.   See his details for a controversial connection. 

 

(Section-C). John Hogan (ca1745-<1806 Va.) + Eleanor Cootes (1758 to 1847 Harrison Co. Indiana) of Goochland Co., VA.   Unknown relationship to the above Hogans.  First records in Goochland Co., VA.  Children are: (C-1) John Hogan (1786 to 1852) + Polly Martin, (C-2) Rebekah Hogan (1781), (C-3) Patsy Hogan + John King, (C-4) Sally Hogan + Stephan Cootes, (C-5) possibly - William Hogan.

 

(Section-D). Philip Hogan in 1701 & 1736-1755 Hanover County, and a Prosser Hogan in 1756.  Philip Hogan, Junior surfaces in 1761-1769 Orange Co., VA, but there are not enough records to reconstruct this line.

 

(Section-E).  James Hogan (ca1735 to 1825) of Hanover Co., VA, and a Quaker in Bedford Co. VA.   If Louisa Co., VA records belong to this James Hogan, then all or most of the Louisa County records belong to this Bedford James Hogan.   Consider his migration path still in question.   Names of wives not yet determined.  Children are:

(E1a). Peter Hogan (died 1777), (E1b). John Hogan (died 1777), (E1c). David Hogan (died 1776), (E1d). Elizabeth Hogan (1779-1859) + Solomon Harris, (E1e). Overton Hogan (~1778), (E1f). Elisha Hogan, (E1g) Polly Hogan (~1790), (E1h) James Hogan “II (~1793),” (E1i) Milly Hogan (~1794), (E1j) Anna Hogan.

 

(Section-F). _ Hogan and wife Milly.  Milly Hogan is first found 1787-1789 Campbell Co., VA tax records and appears in 1786 and 1790 Bedford VA Quaker records, but nothing else in known about her.  Her sons lived in in adjacent Bedford County, VA.  This family may or may not be closely related to Bedford County’s James Hogan.    Children are Obadiah Hogan, Enoch Hogan, and Betsey Hogan, who all married as Quakers.  Children of Milly Hogan and her unnamed husband are:

(F-1). Obediah Hogan or Obadiah Hogan (ca1770 – 1818) married 9/16/1793 Bedford County to Marget Mitchell / Margaret Mitchell with Enos Mitchell, surety (Quaker record).  

(F-2). Elizabeth Hogan, Betsy, “daughter (of) Milley”, married 30 September 1790 Bedford County, VA to Thomas West with Enoch Hogan, Surety (Quaker record).

(F-3).  Enoch Hogan (~1768 - 1823+), “son (of) Milly,” married 7 January 1786 to Ann Perrin, with Charles Perrin, Surety and consent of John Perrin (Quaker record).

 

Comments and Courthouse Records Overview

 

Comments from this searcher – JM:  This Hogan reconstruction has encountered many difficulties and better understanding is causing changes to these family reconstructions.   Many problems continue, including - James Hogan who has personal and land taxes in two adjacent counties.  Is he one or two different individuals?   Recently, William Hogan (ca1710 to 1789) was found with a second wife and two more children during his final years.   Some Hogans still have “loose ends”: i.e., children of John Hogan (ca1730/35 to ~1772/74).   Despite the confusion and changes, every effort is being made to get these family reconstructions right.  

 

Louisa County was established 1742 from Hanover County, Virginia and has lost its 1810 US Census.   Hanover was established 1720 from New Kent County, with both court houses burned.  Hanover records were mostly lost, but yearly tax records from 1782 exist.  The best example of Hanover Courthouse record failure causing problems…is Philip Hogan and Prosser Hogan who are only found in merchant records.

 

 A dated “ca” (i.e., ca1750) refers to a roughly estimated date which could easily change with better information.   Dates such as ~1750 have a better basis but still are estimates.

 

(Section-A) Hugh Hogan (ca1680 to 1743/44) of Hanover County, Virginia

 

Little is known about Hugh Hogan.  There is no clue to his birth date and the name of his wife might be Anne.   Merchant records indicate he had at least one son named Zachariah Hogan.  Useful clues shows Hugh Hogan’s son - Zach Hogan naming one son “Hugh Hogan” and mentioning one brother - William Hogan.   Hogans had lands in the same general location as Hugh Hogan.  Merchant books indirectly show (do not prove) that William Hogan assisted widow Hogan during Hugh’s estate settlement.     

 

1719 February 20 – New Kent County, Virginia Land Grant: Thomas Jones of the City of Williamsburg, 3273 acres of new land in New Kent County in the fork of Pamunkey River, the Little & New Found Rivers, on south side the Little River., a little above Hugh Hogan’s plantation, adjacent King’s land, Charles Fleming, Thomas Nelson and Thomas Jones.  Importation of 66 persons: (including) Wm. Hogan.

Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents by Nell Marion Nugent, Volume 3, 2004, page 220.

Library of Virginia – Virginia Colonial Land Office, image 1719-0220

 

This description is the best we have to locate Hugh Hogan’s lands.  The Thomas Jones’ land appears to be in today’s northeastern Hanover County.  It is west of the North Anna River and the Hanover/Caroline County border.  The 1719 importation of the above William Hogan adds mystery.

 

              “Imported” means headrights.  For every person Jones imported/paid to bring to the colonies, he received 50 acres of land as “headrights.”  In exchange, William Hogan would be contracted as an indentured servant for a period of time.   This might be for seven years.   Questions become:  This imported William Hogan seems very young to be our subject, which suggests his estimated birth date may need to be revised earlier.   Also, where is the earliest John Hogan in all this and how did he get to America?  In 1720, Hanover County was established from New Kent.

      Apparently, a small book of Hanover Court Records survived for the years 1733-1735.  Hogans Swamp may or may not be Hogan Creek found in later records.

1781 April 19 – Douglas Register: “Jo. Hoggan” married on 19 April 1781 to “Eliz: Pinax,” and includes “both of Louisa County.”   They are entered into the Douglas Register marriage records in the marriage section which was directly recorded by him.  Also, surname is spelled Penix or Penax.

The Douglas Register, edited by W. Mac Jones 1928, page 26.

 

“The Douglas Register” was kept by Rev. William Douglas from 1756 until near the time of his death in 1798.  Records covered birth, marriages, and deaths of St. James Northam Parish of Goochland County and encompassed others with marriages and birthdates from nearby areas not directly handled by him.  The book is 412 pages long.  This researcher (J. Murphy) finds some confusion whereby both marriage dates and birth/baptism dates sometimes are written the same.     

 

1781 December 4 - Douglas Register: John Hoggan” married to “Helener Couts” on 4 December 1781, and stated this marriage was from a birth record and not taken directly by Reverend William Douglas.    

The Douglas Register, edited by W. Mac Jones 1928, page 108, 213. 

 

Douglas Register also records for John Hoggan and Eleanor Couts, the birth of their daughter Rebekah, born 4 December 1781 and Baptized 21 February 1782.   The last two dates for Rebeckah Hogan may be accurate but not the parent’s marriage date.   The Douglas Register recorded this marriage under a separate section listed “Marriages not recorded by Rev. Wm. Douglas but indicated by the Birth Registry.”  They apparently did not live in St. James-Northam Parish of Goochland County, Virginia.

1786 – Hanover County, Virginia: Thos.

Mowatt.    

 

              Richard Neave had collected money from the Manor of Eastwood Estate of Wm. Hammond, deceased of Stepney Parish, Middlesex County, England.   The estate money was to go to his uncle – William Clopton and any of his children living at the time of the Hammond’s death.   Apparently, the Manor of Eastwood had long ceased to function.  The unidentified writer for this article concluded that money from the estates had already gone to pay debts and other persons.

Overview from Tyler’s Quarterly - Hanover and Louisa Counties, Virginia: “The (family) lines of Nicholas and Charles Mills, positively sons of the Charles Mills who died 1764, son of Nicholas Mills and Ann Clopton, have been traced to the extent of the writer’s knowledge (see above entry).  Apparently, Charles had also daughters Mary who married William Hogan and Elizabeth who married Jas. Burnley.  Our first mention of William Hogan is in Louisa (Rec. DB B/319), February 6, 1759, when David and Elizabeth Anderson of St. Martin’s Parish Hanover, deed to William Hogan of Fredricksville Parish, 400 acres which David Anderson had purchased Dec. 31, 1757, from Thos. Emmerson.  William Hogan died intestate in 1794 (WB 3/571) on Dec. 8, 1794, James Hogan with Chas. Jackson as his security gives bond to administer on the estate.  In Louisa (Rec. DB K/92) July 8, 1805, William Mallory, James Hogan, Frances and Elizabeth Hogan deed to Mary Hogan their share of Wm. Hogan’s land on Little River, of which he died seized and possessed.”   Question is Mary Hogan – the widow or a daughter?

Wait a minute!  William Hogan and wife Mary?  What happened to William Hogan and 2^nd wife Susanna?  That’s the 1796 date as written in the source, but must be wrong!   The date has to be at least 10 or more years earlier.  Hanover lost most of its records, but has land and personal tax lists from 1782 to 1809+.    There is no William Hogan.    Also, this source states it is from “Larger Book” of Hanover County, Land Records (a deed book had been saved) which gives entries from 1780 to 1790’s.  The original Larger Book needs further review.

(May 19, 1832).  “The heirs of William Hogan are allowed land bounty for service during the war as a Private in the (Virginia) Continental Line, John Floyd, Governor.   Louisa County Court – Anthony Winston made oath that early in the war of the Revolution, William Hogan enlisted for the war under Captain Thomas Johnson of Louisa County, Virginia and that he ‘always heard and firmly believes that said William Hogan fell in battle somewhere to the south, and that Mary, Elizabeth and Frances are the sisters and only heirs of said William Hogan.’”  Sworn to before William Waddy, J.P. (20 November 1831).    Another entry in this source states this land was issued in the name of Mary, Elizabeth and Francis Hogan.   William Scott was the agent to whom the script was delivered.

One must be careful here, the term “heirs” usually refers to descendants of a deceased person.   If that person never married or had a no family, then the heirs broadens to include the subject’s brothers and sisters.   This reference is unclear and doesn’t state the married names of these sisters in 1832.

(A-7?) James Hogan (~1751 – 1823) of Louisa County, Virginia who migrated to Simpson Co., Kentucky

 

This James Hogan is of Louisa County, Virginia who migrated to Green/Simpson Counties, Kentucky.  His birth date is first estimated based on a 1769 Louisa County tax record which includes his father - William Hogan.  Calculation: 1769 – 18 (estimated age for James Hogan) = ~1751. 

 

Both Hanover and Louisa County are near to the state capitol of Richmond.   His son Alexander C. Hogan (1783-1880) was reported born “near Richmond, VA.”   Alex’s brother Nathaniel P. Hogan (1806 to 1870+) stated three times on his US Census that he was born in Virginia.    

 

From a Lafayette County, Missouri history mentioning Alexander C. Hogan (1783-1880), who is now projected by this researcher (JM) to be the son of Hanover County, Virginia’s James Hogan: “James O. Hogan, farmer, is the oldest son of Alexander C. Hogan, who was born 1 March 1783 near Richmond, VA.  The subject of this sketch came to this State (Missouri) with his father in 1839 and located where he now lives, upon land they entered soon after they came to the State.  The father of James O. Hogan is still living at the rip age of 98 years, and is as active as many a younger person….”  

^ History of Lafayette County, Missouri, 1881, pages 522-523 and 269.  Pointed out by Bruce Harlow 8 April 2018 to ancestry.com under James O. Hogan., son of Alexander C. Hogan.  

 

From another history mentioning “James O. Hogan, a prominent pioneer of La Fayette County and owner of one of the best farms within its limits, resides on Section 35, Township 19, Range 26.  The birth of Mr. Hogan took place in Warren County, KY, May 3, 1827, he being a son of Alexander and Mary (Hatcher) Hogan, natives of Virginia.  The family is of Irish descent, its first representation in this country having been his great grandfather Hogan, who after emigrating, served as a soldier of the Revolutionary War.  When but 13 years of age, our subject, a motherless lad, was brought to LaFayette County, Missouri, by his father.”

 (A-7?) Details for James Hogan (~1751-1823) of Louisa County, Virginia

 

1769 Trinity Parish, Louisa County, Virginia: This is the first record for James Hogan and includes his father - William.  This is excellent evidence for father – son relationship. 

Hogan, James; William Senr. – 2 polls

Hogan, William; Sue – 2 polls, 325 acres

Hogan, John 1 – 200 acres.   

 

Keep in mind that counties separated two persons with the same name by using “senior” for oldest and “junior” for the youngest.  They did not have to be father-son or even related.  In general, the second Hogan name listed on the same line was usually a son, as seen below.

In 1792 - James Hogan 1021

In 1799 – James Hogan 1133

In 1800 – James Hogan 1123

 

Notice the middle two numbers - x12x and x13x.  These numbers appear to separate this James Hogan from another James Hogan in nearby Hanover County, Virginia.  The same numbers are again found in 1808 Green Co., KY and thereafter.   This researcher (JM) also adds that if there were only one James Hogan, then the first tax number 1xxx should become 0xxx in one of the two counties because his home was in the other county.  In 1800 Hanover Co. VA, this James Hogan had 1001 tax numbers.     

 

On the other hand, Scott Harris – who belongs to the Harris line and not Hogan, is firm that there is only one James Hogan with land in both counties.   Reason - James Hogan who moved to Bedford Co., VA had a daughter Elizabeth who married Solomon Harris.  On 11 May 1799, Solomon Harris purchased Louisa County land from Elizabeth Wright which was close to the estate of William Hogan, deceased, Thomas Powers, and James Hogan – see details below.  Further research is needed.

(B/5). Daniel Hogan – not in 1787 will.

 

 

              This John Hogan makes his first appearance at the Partridge & Co., Store in Hanover County in 1756.   Estimating his birth date is most difficult and his current estimation of ca1730/35 could be far earlier.   In 1758, John Hogan and wife Judith sell 140 acres in Louisa County, but we do not know when the land was purchased.  Later in 1776, a different John Hogan is living in Louisa County.   Other than a son named Daniel Hogan and possibly Isaiah Hogan, his other children are not known.   At no time can his researcher state - there is a son named John Hogan “II” or Jr., although the possibility exists.   This John Hogan, Sr. does not appear to be a brother of William Hogan “I” simply because William had a very late son - John M. Hogan.  And yet…the two appear very closely associated.   One wild piece of thought: Did William Hogan have two sons named John Hogan (who married Judith) and John M. Hogan?  He appears capable of this – but this is only speculation.

Papers filed in Louisa County Chancery Court 1797 to 1803, condensed.

 

1792 September - Henrico Co., VA Court 1792 document with a 7 December 1774 document included:

I do certify that the above is a true copy of a Bond delivered in and mentioned in the schedule of William Mallory, to whom the Oath of Insolvency was administered at September Henrico (County) Court 1792. (Image 12/19)

1797 May - Louisa Co., VA Chancery Court has the same above information and adds “Your orator cannot obtain a legal title to the said land.”  That “she has removed out of this State.”  Together with her security Isiah Hogan, that your orator cannot obtain a legal title.    Louisa County May Court 1797.  Sworn to in open Court by Wm. Mallory …. (Images 16-17/19). 

1797 May 10 Court: Know all men by these present that we William Mallory and James Hogan unto Judith Hogan (who is) represented by Thomas Mitchell her attorney, her Executors and auditors for 30 pounds money.   Court mentions William Mallory obtained injunction to stay this proceeding in Louisa County until the matter of controversy between them may be dealt with.  Signed – Wm.

1800 March 8 – Louisa County VA Court: The separate answer of Thomas Mitchell one of the partners of William and Thomas Mitchell to a Bill in Chancery exhibited in the County Court of Louisa against them, the said William and Thomas as joint defendants with Judith Hogan by William Mallory Complainant….   Answers -  That after the Death of John Mallory, his Estate was indebted to the house of William and Thomas Mitchell and when his Estate was sold off, this defendant sent to the sale order to receive payment either in cash or bonds that in are of the said payment he received the compete bond and after some time ordered a suit to be brought on it which was accordingly done in the name of the said Judith for the benefit of this defendant as there was no assignment on the __ of the same; but then defendant denies all __ or confirmation, and knows nothing of his own knowledge as to the purchase of the Land for which said Bond was given; nor as to the defect in the __ title...and prays that the said bill may be dissolved, or that the Court may make such decrees…just and equitable….   Fluvanna County, Virginia Court, to wit: This day Thomas Mitchell made oath to the above answer before me a Justus of Peace for the County….8 March 1800.  Signed Duncan Mlanchlan.   (Image 18/19) May 1801 – motion to dissolve overruled.  (Image 19/19)

My interpretation (JRM):  Apparently, William Mallory paid Judith Hogan 60 pounds money to purchase land, formerly sold to John Hogan in 1772 by William Goodwin.  As evidence, William Mallory presented to a 1792 Court a document dated 7 December 1774 (Image 12/19) from Judith Hogan and Isaiah Hogan as her security.  Mallory later claimed in 1797-1803 Court that Judith Hogan never made out a title for the land to him.  This prevented him from selling the land when he filed for bankruptcy.     

 

These documents do not concisely state that Judith Hogan was a widow at this time (1774), but do not mention John Hogan who should have been be responsible for the title transfer.   The presumption is that Judith Hogan’s husband died by December 1774.  This is an important document since we need to know when he died, etc.  In the documentation, Daniel Hogan was her son, but Isaiah Hogan - her security does not surface again and is a puzzle.         

 

Possible Children of John Hogan and wife Judith _ :  (Section-B)

 

(B-1) Daniel Hogan (~1754), son of John Hogan “I” is an early witness in Judith’s Chancery Court papers.  His estimated birth date: 1771 – 17 = 1754.   Proof of relationship appears in 1771 Louisa Co. VA tax record.   Named on the lawsuit papers of his mother Judith Hogan, given above.

Hogan, Zacharias: John Hogan, Jr. 2 – 150.   Page 33.  Next is:

*Hogan, John: Daniel Hogan 2 – 200  

 

Unable to trace, unless he is Daniel Hogan (29 July 1753 to 19 January 1787 Orange County, North Carolina) who married on 19 September 1775 Orange Co., NC to Sarah Lloyd, daughter of Thomas Lloyd.  The Lloyd book states Daniel Hogan was born in Prince William Co., VA to Thomas and Elizabeth Hogan.*   Another daughter married Col. John Hogan of North Carolina. 

* Thomas Lloyd of Brunswick County, Virginia and Orange County, North Carolina,” by Betty Scanlan Collins and Gerald Edward Collins, undated but 1990’s, found online at familysearch.org, pages 13, 32, 33

 

              The Thomas Lloyd book is an impressive work and does detail a Daniel Hogan who married Sarah Lloyd and lived in North Carolina.  They had three sons – Thomas Lloyd Hogan (1785), Henley Thompson Hogan (1784) and Daniel Hogan, Jr. (1787) and 4 daughters during their short eleven years of marriage. Their source for Daniel Hogan’s birth county of Prince William Co., VA is not given and this researcher (JRM) questions their source – was it fact or speculation?  

 

x(B-2) may not be a son) – Isiah/Isaiah Hogan, who was Judith Hogan’s security in Chancery County.    Noted in 1774 lawsuit of defendant Judith Hogan and later again as her security in her lawsuit in 1797 where he is only mentioned along with Judith Hogan who had moved out state.   So far, this researcher (JRM) cannot find an Isaiah Hogan in Virginia during this era.  

 

Isaiah Hogan might be Isaiah Hogan (ca1740 to 1781) who married Nancy _ and was a brother to Col. John Hogan of Orange County, NC.   He lived in Chatham Co., NC.   His occupation included Justice of the Peace, Chatham Co., NC Judge, and a NC delegate to 1776 NC Congress to form the NC State Constitution.

From my (JRM) unfinished chapter “Isaiah Hogan (ca 1740-1781)” for planetmurphy.org.

Louisa County, VA Details

See His Own Chapter for his and family details.

 

This John Hogan is now projected (2021) to be the son of Louisa County’s Zachariah Hogan.   He settled in Kentucky on or before the year 1797 which was his home for many years.  

 

(B/4) John Hogan (ca1745 to 1798 Garrard Co., Kentucky) married Elizabeth Penax/Pinax (ca1750 to 1811 Garrard County or later).  His birth date estimation is uncertain and could change with better understanding.   A better spelling for Pinax is Penix.    

 

Douglas Register states “Jo. Hoggan” married on 19 April 1781 to “Eliz: Pinax,” “both of Louisa County.” *   He migrated to Garrard County, Kentucky in 1797 and died there on 6 August 1798.  His widow Elizabeth was left to raise their youngest children.

John Hogan (ca1750’s to before 1813) of Goochland Co. & Henrico Co., VA married Eleanor Couts/Coots (1758 to 1847 Harrison Co. Indiana):    The Douglas Register states “John Hoggan” married “Helener Couts” on 4 December 1781 likely at a location other than St. James Northam Parish in Goochland Co., VA.*   Later records show her first name as Eleanor.   This family line is traceable to Harrison County, Indiana.   Family Bible in possession of James Darby of Clarksville, Indiana states Eleanor Hogan, mother of John Hogan, was born December 1758 Goochland Co., VA and died 27 March 1847 at age 89.**   The Virginia State Census of 1782/1787 notes three persons with the closest spelling to Coots or Couts are William Coutts x 2 and Reuben Coutts, all living in 1782 Henrico County, Virginia (census lacks Hanover County).  ***   Relationship to the above Hogans is unknown.

Nelly Hogan (chargeable) with John Hogan (1 white tithable), 0 0 0   Both names are not in 1807-1812 taxes.  Nelly is a nickname for Helen, Ellen, Eleanor and several other names.  Believe this is Eleanor Coots/Couts of Louisa County, Virginia who married John Hogan (1750’s to before 1806):  The 1806 John Hogan is most likely Nelly’s son (born 30 December 1786) and not her husband.  This also increases the possibility that the 1806 William Hogan is also a son, perhaps slightly older.

(C1b). Rebecah Hogan, daughter of John Hogan, was Baptized 21 February 1782.   Douglas Register states “Jo: Hoggan & Helener Couts, a child named Rebekah, born Dec. 4. 1781; Baptized 21 February 1782.”   Note again the marriage date and birth date are the same and this the 3rd time the transcriptionist has been noted to make the same a birth and marriage dates; most likely the marriage date is wrong.  Also, Rebekah is likely to be another name for one of her sisters.

(C1e). possibly – William Hogan who shows up in the 1806 Henrico County tax record which also lists John and Nellie Hogan.  These three are the only Hogan names that show up Henrico tax records from 1783 to 1812.   If he is a son to John + Nellie Hogan and this is his first tax record, then his birth date can be estimated 1806 - 17= 1789, if his age was about 17.   

 

 

Hanover County was established 1720 from New Kent Co., VA.    Hanover Courthouse lost most its early records and Louisa County was established from it in 1742.  However, Hanover County merchant records indicate there is another Hogan line in Hanover County during these years.  This is Philip Hogan during the years 1736 to 1755.  Also, included a single record, there is a Prosser Hogan in 1755 or 1756.  This Prosser Hogan in Hanover County is not the same Prosser Hogan (1761/62 – 1830) of Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.   Philip Hogan Jr. can be found in later records in Orange County, Virginia between 1761-1769.   Their details are in the Prosser Hogan review which are still too incomplete to reconstruct families.  See “Prosser, Phillip, and David Hogan” in their separate chapter for details.

              In 1701/02, New Kent County divided from King and Queen County.  In 1720, Hanover County divided from New Kent.    Key river location is the Pamunkey River where Mehixon Creek flows into it on the north side.  This river flows in today’s King William County and Hanover County on the southside of the Pamunkey River. 

 

King William, New Kent, and Hanover Counties lost their county records to fires and the Civil War.  Existing information comes from other sources.

(Part-D). Philip Hogan, Junior and David Hogan in Orange County, Virginia

During the Years 1761 to 1769

1759 October 2 – Orange County, Virginia:  Birth date and location of David Hogan is from his American Revolutionary Pension Application, but he never names his father.   He married Lincoln Co., KY to Betsey Whooley/Owley (1775-1860+) and died 4 February 1858 Carter Co., KY at age 98.   See his write-up in Prosser Hogan (1761/62 to 1830) and brothers/cousins, which include Philip Hogan (1750/60 to ~1815) and David Hogan, all of Kentucky.   Beware that there is another Philip Hogan (~1755 to 1823) in Montgomery Co., VA with stats eerie similar to Kentucky’s Phil Hogan.   Wife’s names were similar and both had a son named David Hogan.  Consideration that Kentucky’s Phil Hogan migrated (doubled back) back to Virginia, is being reviewed.    So far, they appear to be two different persons.  Naming patterns for children of brothers - David Hogan and Prosser Hogan do not suggest their father was named “Philip Hogan.”

 

1761 July 24 - Orange Co., VA Court: The Petition of John Chandler against Philip Hogan, Junr. not being executed, an alias summons is awarded him against the said defendant returnable to next Court (Orange County, Va. Orders 1754-1762)

 

1761 November 27 - Orange Co., VA Court: John Chandler plaintiff against Philip Hogan Junr. defendant this day came the Petition by his attorney and the defendant who duly warned, failed to appear therefore it is considered by the court that the plaintiff recovers against the said defendant 4 pounds 1 shilling and 3 pence current money.  (Also) the debt in the Petition mentioned and his cost by him about his suit in the behalf expended, and the said defendant in mercy & c.  Also 7 shillings and 6 pence for a Lawyer's fee. 

 

1763 March 25 - Orange Co., VA Court: William Kendal, plaintiff against Philip Hogan, defendant.  On Petition, this day came the plaintiff and the defendant failing to appear, it is considered that the plaintiff recovers against the said defendant one pound, 20 shillings and 8 pence current money, the debt in the Petition mentioned and his costs by about his suit in this behalf expended and the said debt in mercy, & c. (Orange County Virginia Orders 1762-1763, page 68.)

 

1763 May – Orange Co., VA Court:  John Goodall, plaintiff against Philip Hogan, Junr, defendant in debt.  The debt not being arrested on motion of the petition by his attorney, an "alias capids" is awarded him against the debt returnable to next court.  (Orange County Orders, 1762-1763)

 

1763 July 28 - Orange Co., VA Court: John Chandler, Petition against Philip Hogan Junr, defendant, on a "Scire Fasias."   The Sheriff having returned that the defendant is not found in his Bailiwick nor hath he anything whereby he could cause him to know and the defendant not appearing, on the motion of the plaintiff attorney, an "alias scire fasias" is awarded him against the defendant returnable to the next court.

 

1763 September 23 - Orange Co., VA Court: John Goodall, plaintiff against Philip Hogan Junr. Defendant.  The debt not appearing ordered that a "plurias capias" be awarded him against the defendant returnable to next court.  (Pages 91,98, 105, Orange County Orders, 1762-1763).

 

1764 April 6 - Orange Co., VA Court: The persons herein mentioned to open a road from Braxtons Quarter to the Red Oak Level.  Twenty-four names including...Philip Hogan.  (Orange County, Virginia Minute Book 1, page 7a).

 

1769 Orange Co., VA Tithables; Phillip Hogens, 2 polls.

 

 

This James Hogan is projected for Hanover and Bedford Counties, VA.   He has three sons who served into the American Revolution.  Calculations to estimate his birth year would place his birth about ~1735 or earlier.  

1760 – youngest birth date for a son in 1776 Revolutionary War (1776 to 1781) at age 16.

1739 – If married at age 21, 1760 – 21 = 1739, earliest marriage age for James Hogan. 

~1735 - with 3 sons in war, a better estimate might be ~1735 or earlier.

 

Records suggest this James Hogan family was living in Hanover County during the American Revolution.   His location before 1775 is unclear.   There is no James Hogan in existing Hanover County Merchant records, but he possibly lived too far away.   Names of his wife/wives are not yet known (if there are two James Hogans) and he is twice noted living in St. Martin Parish of Hanover County.   Hanover County is the next county to the north of the State Capital of Virginia - Richmond Independent City.  

 

St. Martin’s Parish began 1720 with its northern boundary being North Anna River which separates Hanover County from Caroline County.  Its southern border is the South Anna River.  Therefore, in general, St. Martin’s Parish was along the northern part of Hanover County.   Eastern end is the confluence of North and South Anna Rivers.   Western end is not known.  It is also known as Fork Church and “The Chapel in the Forks.” 

 

Death date for James Hogan is generally thought to be about 1825, but additional evidence would be useful.  His last Bedford Tax is 1814 and his last US Census in Bedford County is 1820.  Names of his wife/wives are not known.

 

(Section-E): Records for James Hogan in Hanover County, Virginia

         

~1782 First Census of US, lost, data from State Enumerations 1782 to 1785, Hanover County, VA:

James Hogan, (Precinct #5 of Thos Trevilian) – 4 white males, no blacks.   

www2.census.gov 

 

This list is not alphabetical.  On either side of James Hogan is Thomas Hanes and John Hanes.  Cannot confirm “4,” and cannot find this same exact tax listing in familysearch.org images. If correct, the 4 males age 16+ might suggest an earlier tax date when his first three sons were still living.

 

1782 – Hanover Co., VA Personal Property Tax:  James Hogan 1 free male, 1 cattle, 1 horse.

1783, 1784, 1785, 1786, 1787 and 1788 – Hanover Co. VA PP tax: James Hogan with 1 white male 21+, no free males 16-20, no blacks, 1 to 2 horses, generally 2 cattle.  In his 1783 and 1784 taxes, details indicated that he lived in St. Martin Parish of Hanover County.   Using these tax records, the first time he has two adult male taxes is in 1799. 

familysearch.org.  United States, Virginia, Hanover, taxes

 

1792 to 1807 – Hanover Co., VA “Personal Tax”:  His 1792 Hanover “Land Tax” has the words “James Hogan of Isaac _ton – 80 (presume this is acres).  Conveyed to John Hanes - 66.  John Hanes to Jas Hogan – 14.”  These 66 and 14 acres appear reversed.  In 1793, James Hogan has 66 acres and by 1798 has 66 + 80 acres (source = familysearch.org).   Personal Property tax numbers: #1 is w. males 16+, #2 blacks 12-16, #3 blacks 16+, #4 horses.  For example:

1793 – James Hogan 1001

1798 – James Hogan 1001

1799 – 2001 (Notice the 2)

1800 – James Hogan 1001; Land tax shows 146 ½ acres.  On the same tax date is next:

             Overton Hogan 1000 (E1e). 

1801 – Hanover Co., VA Personal Tax:  

James Hogan 1001

Overton Hogan 1001

1803 & 1804 - Hanover Co. VA Personal Tax

James Hogan 1002

    Overton Hogan 1000

1805 Hanover Co., VA Personal Tax:  James Hogan 1002

1806 Hanover Co., VA Personal Tax: James Hogan 1003

1807 – James Hogan 1012.  There is no tax book for 1808.  In 1809 and 1810, there is no James Hogan.

 

Overton Hogan is the only early son from Hanover County’s James Hogan who was still living after the American Revolution.  The x00x numbers possibly helps to separate from Louisa County’s James Hogan who does not have zeros in the middle two numbers.

(E1d) & (ZZZ). Debate on whether Louisa Co., VA’s James Hogan

 belongs to the Simpson Co. KY Hogans or Bedford Co., VA Hogans

i.e., Do clues exist suggesting that there was one or two James Hogans?

 

Comment: Louisa County land sold by James Hogan in 1807 was somewhere in the headwaters of Little River of eastern central Louisa County.  Little River flows west into Hanover County’s North Anna River about 2 miles north of where the North Anna joins South Anna River.   The Hanover County Parish for this area was St. Martin Parish was where Hanover County’s James Hogan was noted living in tax records (his deeds did not survive).  Therefore, Hogan lands in both counties were fairly near one-another.

 

1 – Solomon Harris married Elizabeth Hogan who purchased 50 acres of land in Louisa County which was very close to Louisa County’s James Hogan.   Result – suggests this James Hogan could be Bedford County’s James Hogan with lands in both counties.  This is hard to explain otherwise unless the two Hogan families knew and mixed with each other, simply because they were Hogans and Irish and isolated being considered lower class by wealthier English-Americans.    

 

2 – Louisa County’s James and Mary Peers Hogan sold out in 1807.    Green County, KY tax records name a James Hogan for the first time in 1808 Kentucky.   Hanover County’s James Hogan was last noted in 1807 tax records. There were no Virginia taxes in 1808 to review.   Next, he is found in 1809 Bedford Co., VA.   Result – nothing helpful here.  

 

3 – In 1810 and 1820, The US Census of Bedford Co., VA  indicates a wife slightly younger than him still living.  In 1810 Green Co., Ky, James Hogan has a wife, both age 45+ or indicates both born before 1765.  But in 1820 US Census of Simpson Co., KY, he no longer has a wife.  The January 1818 Will of Thomas Peers, Sr. names Mary Hogan, suggesting she was still living, but she could have died shortly thereafter.  Result – likely, no help here.                       

 

4 -  Simpson/Green Co., KY’s James Hogan had a son named Nathaniel S. Hogan (~1806 to 1870).  Nathaniel very clearly states he was born in Virginia in ~1806 in three US Census records.   His older brother Nathaniel P. Hogan states the same Virginia birth state in three US Census records.   Therefore, his father had to leave Virginia between 1806 to 1808, before he is first recorded in 1808 Kentucky County tax records.   One county history of a descendant states they were from near Richmond, Virginia.   So far, this Hogan family cannot be found in other nearby/adjacent counties in tax records.   The Capitol of Richmond (City State) is not the same as Richmond Co., VA, which is further north.  There is a James Hogan in Richmond County, but his details do not fit (See the chapter on Thomas Hogan of Richmond County).   Furthermore, the family record stated their unnamed grandfather served in the American Revolution.  Result – no answers here if this Kentucky James Hogan was or was not from Louisa Co., VA.

 

5 – Hanover and Bedford Counties VA - James Hogan show no blacks in tax records.  Louisa County had about 4 blacks in 1800 (no available tax records 1801-1807) and that is the same number that Green County, KY’s James Hogan begins with in 1808.      Result – favorable towards the Louisa James Hogan being Green/Simpson Co., KYs James Hogan.  In addition, if there was only one James Hogan, then some tax records might indicate the owner living in one county and not living in the other county.  This would be seen in tax records - i.e., 1001 and 0001.   This did not happen but tax records might not be that sensitive.  Result – only slightly favorable for two different James Hogans.   Suggestion for future research – see if Library of Virginia has the Louisa County tax records for 1801 to 1809 and check for black numbers.

 

6 – James Hogan, Sr. in Bedford County, VA was a Quaker.   Quaker records sometimes include a previous Quaker Meeting house to which the member belonged.   This is a long shot, but either the Northern Quaker Repository at Swarthmore College in PA (probably here) or Southern Quaker Repository at Guilford College in North Carolina might have these records.   These libraries are difficult to access unless one visits.   

 

7 – Y-DNA testing for comparisons could useful, and a negative result (too distantly related or non-related) still could be helpful.   No results have come to the attention of this writer at this time.   

 

Results: Scott Harris (a Harris researcher/descendant and not Hogan) firmly believes Louisa and Hanover Counties had only one James Hogan.  This researcher (JM) believes the answer is still unclear and more research is needed (November 2022).

(E1e). Overton Hogan.  In 1843 Chancery Court action, given above.  Also, he is recorded 1800, 1801. 1803, 1804 Hanover Co., VA personal tax - 1 poll, no blacks, 0 to 1 horse.  In 1799 Hanover County, James Hogan had 2 while males 16+.   He married, wife’s name unknown and had a daughter Susan Hogan who is mentioned in his father’s estate administration.   Cannot pick up his trail after 1804.

(E1f). Elisha Hogan.  Noted only in 1843 Chancery Court action. 

 

(E1g). Polly Hogan (~1790) married a Frazier.  Bedford County Quaker marriage record shows the following: (1) Polly Hogan, daughter of James Hogan, married “Johnson James” on 17 January 1809 and surety by John Hanes (Bedford Quaker record). 

 

(E1h). James Hogan Jr. or “II” (~1793 to 1850+), son of James Hogan, married 1^st to Lucy Haynes with Edward Haynes, Surety (Bedford Quaker Record).  Married 2^nd at Bedford County on 30 March 1847 to Nancy Falls, daughter of Israel Falls with Thomas Craft, Surety (Bedford Quaker Record).   His 1850 US Census indicates he was age 51, but the image shows age 57.   US Census records for 1830 and 1840 suggest his wife may be slightly older than him.  In 1850, his 2^nd wife, much younger, was Nancy age 27 when James Hogan was age 57.

(E1i). Milly Hogan (~1794) married 30 December 1822 Bedford County, VA to Samuel Jones with James Hogan, Surety (Bedford Quaker record).

 

(E1j). Anna Hogan, “Amy,” daughter of James Hogan, married 2 January 1810 Bedford County, VA to “Vardiman Basham” (Bedford Quaker record).

 

 Milly Hogan in first found in 1787-1789 Campbell County, VA Personal Property Taxes and is listed in 1786 and 1790 Bedford Quaker records.   These last two Quaker records may have been added after the Hogans moved to adjacent Bedford Co., VA.   Her husband is not named in Campbell County and Bedford County tax records.  One website states Milly Hogan is a male, but Campbell Co., VA taxes for Milly state that there is no taxable male.  Her children - Obadiah Hogan, Enoch Hogan, and Betsey Hogan all married as Quakers.   This family may or may not be closely related to James Hogan of Bedford County who was also a Quaker in this county.   

 

Where did they come from?   If they were Quaker members prior to Campbell/Bedford Counties, VA Bedford Quaker Meeting minutes may have a letter of introduction from their earlier Meeting House.  Also, these Quaker marriages give the names of wedding guests.  These records have not been reviewed.  Does Swarthmore College in PA - the northern Quaker record repository, have them?  Hogans are not mentioned in South River Quaker records (Campbell County and adjacent areas).  Milly’s husband should be old enough to be in the American Revolution, although records for many county militias failed to survive.  However, Quakers during the America would not fight, so many counties taxed them extra to pay militia expenses – something that was a benefit to both parties.

Children of Milly Hogan and unnamed husband are:

 

(F-1). Obediah Hogan or Obadiah Hogan (~1770 to April 1818) married 9/16/1793 Bedford County to Marget Mitchell with Enos Mitchell, surety (Quaker record).   Obediah Hogan (~1770 to 1818) whose birth date is not known, is roughly estimated ~1770 until better information is found (1793 – age ~23 = ~1770).   Bedford County Chancery Court beginning in 13 April 1849 gives information on his wife and children.

 

Based on above Chancery Court action and other records, children of Obadiah Hogan are:

 

(F1a) Charles Hogan (~1795) married 14 December 1818 Bedford County to Mourning Hogan (~1800), daughter of Mary with Lewis Crouch, Surety.  (Quaker marriage).  In Southern Division Bedford Co. in 1850 and was a carpenter.  Mary Hogan who appears to be a widow in the Quaker record is not known.

(F1b) Patsy Hogan married Francis Turner

(F1c) Enos Hogan (~1795) married 12 July 1819 Bedford Co., VA to Denny West/Dinny West, daughter of Obediah West, Jourdan West, Surety (Quaker record).  In an 1850 US Census of Pittsylvania Co., VA.

(F1d) Obediah D. Hogan, Jr. (~1821) married 6 December 1842 Bedford Co. to Malinda Scott (~1823), daughter of Lizy, with Joshua Scott, Surety (Quaker marriage).  In 1850 US Census southern Division Bedford Co., VA.

1849 Documents suggests last 8 children were under age 21 when father Obadiah Hogan died in 1818 (death date from unknown source which needs confirming).   Estimated birth dates are from census records which do not appear very accurate. 

      

(F-2). Elizabeth Hogan, Betsy, “daughter (of) Milley” Hogan, married 30 September 1790 to Thomas West with Enoch Hogan, Surety (Quaker record).  Marriage location uncertain.

 

(F-3).  Enoch Hogan, (~1768 to 1823+), “son (of) Milly,” married 7 January 1786 to Ann Perrin, with Charles Perrin, Surety and consent of John Perrin (Bedford Quaker record).   It is possible that this marriage was entered into Bedford County Quaker records after he arrived in in 1790/01.   Estimated date of birth is calculated from his 1789 Campbell Co., VA PP tax: 1789 – age ~21 = ~1768.  However, his mother Milly Hogan never listed any males age 16+ in 1787 and 1788.  Thus, this estimation is very questionable.

 

An incomplete list of Enoch Hogan children reconstructed:

(F3a) Milley Hogan (~1787) married 6 November 1805 Bedford County to Henry Holdrin, with Enoch Hogan, Surety. (Quaker marriage).  On 1830 US census of Bedford Co., VA.

(F3b) Dorcus Hogan married 3 October 1792 Bedford County to William Johnson, with Enoch Hogan, Surety (Quaker marriage).

(F3c) Sally Hogan married 5 October 1808 Bedford County to Thomas Adkerson, daughter of “Annis and Enoch” Hogan (Quaker marriage)

(F3d) Zachariah Hogan (1794) – see army enlistment below.

(F3e) Charles Hogan (~1798) married 8 July 1825 Bedford County to Polly Glover/Mary Glover (1798), daughter of William Glover, Thomas Leftwich, Surety (Quaker marriage).   On 1850 US Census South Division, Bedford Co., VA with large family.  Be careful, there is another Charles Hogan born ~1795.
