William Hoge and Barbara Hume met on the ship Caledonia, sailing to
America, in 1682. William was the son of Sir James Hoge and was born in
Musselboro, Scotland in 1660. Barbara was the daughter of Sir James and
Marjorie Hume and was born in Paisley, Scotland between 1667 and 1670. Sir
James Hume and his wife had been imprisoned and their land seized because
they refused to follow the "Kirk" decreed by the Stewards. His brother
intervened and they were released on condition they depart for America.
Enroute Barbara's parents died of an epidemic, William became her protector
and delivered her to an uncle, Dr. Johnson, in New York. William settled in
Perth Amboy, New Jersey and in 1684 he and Barbara were married. On
November 11, 1710, he purchased 1000 acres on a branch of the Elk River in
East Nottingham Twp. Chester County, Pennsylvania, (Chester Co. Deed Book D
1710 - Pg. 312). Taxes were not recorded in Chester County until 1719.
William Hoge appears on these records until 1735. He removed to Virginia in
1735. His will was filed and recorded in Frederick County but not probated.
His second wife Mary, declined accepting the provisions thereof, and claimed
her dower. The land came into the possession of the Rev. John Hoge, the
heir-at-law, he being the eldest son. In 1745, he conveyed to the trustees
of the Old Opecquon Presbyterian Church (located in what is now Kernstown)
two acres for a burying ground, but did not, as frequently stated, donate
the church lot. His will was probated in 1774 in Chester County,
Pennsylvania.
