Dear Subscribers, I need some help in acquiring more identification of the subject man. Based on a transcribed Bible record [not the most reliable source], I believe he was the husband of one Sally or Sarah Williams, daughter of William Williams (d. Dec 1775 at Boonesborough) and his wife Phillis (some say Beckham) of Granville Co., NC. Sarah or Sally's only surviving brother was Samuel Farrar Williams (1759 Granville Co. NC- d. ca 1835 Henderson Co., KY). All evidence points to the fact that S.F.Williams is my ancestor. Is anyone on this rootsweb able to add additional information which you are willing to share concerning either Samuel Hogg (later of Wilson Co., TN) and his bride Sally or Sarah Williams? Here are some notes. I have a few more, but I don't want to bore you.: Preparer: E. W. Wallace, April 1998 Edited 6/99 Rev 8/2000 Rev 2/ 2004, Added to Oct 2004, rev. Mar 2005 SAMUEL HOGG. (ca 1760-aft 1820 TN?) husband of Sally Williams, who is said to have died in Lebanon, Wilson Co., TN. (Transcribed Sneed family Bible entry, said to have been at one time in the 1990s the hands of a person in Henderson Co., KY, a Mr. Soaper. The transcript was in the hands of Mrs. ...., San Diego, CA and the original was said to have been in Henderson Co. KY). The couple were married in 1792 in Granville Co. NC. We tend to believe that Sally Williams may have been a second or later wife of Samuel Hogg the elder. Samuel Hogg the elder is not to be confused with a younger Samuel Hogg, who seems to have been the elder's nephew and for whom the elder Samuel Hogg was guardian Granville Co., NC Deed Bk R-194 Know all men by these presents that I Samuel Hogg Senr.

This may be the groom of Sally Williams. Note Smith Co. residence, state unknown but probably Virginia] There was a younger Samuel Hogg, who, according to his biography in BIOGRAPHICAL DIRECTORY OF THE TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, was the son of Thomas and Rebecca Edwards Hogg. The younger man (1783-1842) was a physician, and he seemed to be a young adult in the early 1800s. He had attended schools in Caswell Co., North Carolina. According to other information, cited below, the younger Samuel Hogg was a nephew of the older Samuel Hogg. Samuel Hogg married Sally (Sarah or Sary) Williams, most probably the daughter of the deceased William Williams (d. Dec 1775 at Boonesborough) and his wife Phillis [Beckham?]. As stated, this relationship deduction is based on the "Sneed family Bible," as found among the Bible transcriptions which gave a date of death for Sarah/Sallie Williams, later Hogg. Sally Williams's older sister Mary was married to Stephen Sneed of Granville Co. while her older brother (and only surviving brother) Samuel Farrar Williams was married 1st) to Hannah Sneed, sister of Stephen Sneed. Hence, information about the Williamses would be included in a Sneed Bible, the whereabouts of which is not currently known (2006). Granville Co. marriage record: Saml. Hogge & Sarah Williams, 14 May 1792; W. Norwood, bm; Saml Worthington, wit. (Elizabeth Hicks Hummell in HICKS HISTORY OF GRANVILLE CO., NC, V. I, MARRIAGE BONDS, 1965 [Oxford, NC: Coble Publishing Co., 1965] p. 205.) This marriage record does not appear in Brent H. Holcomb's transcriptions of the marriage bonds of Granville Co., NC. A few errors have been noted in Holcomb's transcriptions. Study of Granville Co. land records indicates the Norwood family was a neighbor of the Williams family in the Nutbush Creek area of Granville Co. Concerning the bondsman: The Norwood family seem to have been close associates of the Williams family from at least 1752; hence, a bondsman named Norwood. John Norwood was witness to a deed to John Williams [Sr.] (Sally's grandfather) in 1752, and a later patent to John Williams [Sr.] indicated his land adjoined that of Nathaniel Norwood.) Granville Co. Deed bk 4, 1796-1799, page 40 gives the following information: Aug. 4, 1796 - Samuel Hogg appoints Robert Weakley and Howel Tatom of the Southwest Territory now called Tennessee, attorneys, to attend to the division of the lands of my brother Thomas Hogg and obtain 1000 acres as speedily as possible left me by will of said Thomas Hogg and convey same to Thomas Bedford, having sold to him and received full payment. Wts. : none. (Zae Hargett Gwynn, Court minutes of Granville County, North Carolina, 1746-1820 [Rocky Mount, NC: J. W. Watson, 1977], p. 199) This power of attorney indicates that Samuel Hogg was still residing in Granville Co. in 1796. Samuel Hogg's brother Thomas was the father of Dr. Samuel Hogg, the younger man who was prominent in politics in Tennessee. According to ............. in a e-mailed family journal dated 29 Jun 2000, Samuel Hogg was a Captain in the American Revolution (Virginia Soldiers of 1776, p. 912-913). He died in 1820 in Lebanon, Wilson Co., TN. (Ibid.) The one who received a pension (or applied for a pension) ca 1818 was no doubt the older Samuel Hogg as his age is given as age 73. State of Tennesse: Gibson Co., March Term 1833. Proved in court that Dr. Samuel Hogg of Nashville, and John B. Hogg of the town of Trenton, Gibson Co. are the only heirs at law of Samuel Hogg, Dec'd. late a Captain in the Rev. army. That Capt. Sam'l Hogg died in the year 1820 in the town of Lebanon, Wilson Co., Tenn. and that he died intestate and the foregoing was ordered certified, and the Clerk gave a certified copy thereof." (E-mail) Since the elder Samuel Hogg was reportedly a Revolutionary officer in Virginia, an online search of military records of Virginia was made March 2005. There were several military certificate numbers [bounty land certificates] issued by Virginia. Details are not known, but these are the Land Office certificate numbers of the first three listed on the Library of Virginia website: LO 73; LO 8052; LO ExMWt 437. [LO is land office. MWt is probably military warrant. EX not known.] Samuel Hogg was witness on 6 Mar 1811 to a power of attorney of Thomas Creedle of Granville Co. to Archibald Lucid of the same county to recover some money from Nathaniel Moss of Mecklenburg Co., VA. (Irwin Sneed, identity unknown, was another witness to the same document.) (Ransom McBride, "Migration As Shown in Powers of Attorney," NORTH CAROLINA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY JOURNAL, V. 3, p. 236) If you can add information to this brief biography, please e-mail. E.W.Wallace

Evelyn, I have a copy of Samuel Hogg's Revolutionary War Pension file, which was awarded for Smith County, Tennessee, but the application says he was a citizen of Wilson County, West Tennessee. It says he was a lieutenant in the Continental line, had entered and served under Capt. Claiborne Lawson' Company in the first Virginia Continental regiment commanded by Col. John Green, but he wasn't sure because the Colonel was frequently charged from one regiment to another; the Brigade was commanded by Genl. Peter Mughlenburg(?) and that he had entered on June 11, 1777, and served until the end of the War. He was captured at Charles Town on May 12, 1780, and released "on the ninth(?) of July 1781". He lost or misplaced his commission, but that he was promoted to a Captain, he was currently suffering from Rheumatism; signed as Capt. Saml. Hogg, July 10, 1818. A Major Howard Tatum of Davidson Co.,TN testified that he knew Samuel Hogg to have been in the service in the Revolutionary War. In Sept. 20, 1820, he said he was 64 years old and that all he owned was a horse, saddle and bridle worth $60, with debts to the amount of $50, that he had no family neither black nor white, no landed property, his occupation was as a Planter previous to his entering the Army and that he had lived in a Store; after the War he "entered occasionally in the Mercantile line". He also served in an expedition in the War, commanded by Patrick Henry and Col. Samuel Maredeth(?) in 1775; their mission was "to demand of Governor. Dunsmore(?) the restitution of the arms and amunition that he had taken from the magazine in Williamsburg, Virginia". The regiment he served in was called the Virginia Regt. under Capt. Henry Fleming's Company, commanded by Col. Patrick Henry, William Christie, Lt. Col.William Rosser(?) and Maj. Foot(?); he was when there when the Declaration of Independencewas read giving oath on July 4, 1776 at Williamsburg, Virginia, and was "at Norfolk when that town was burned". He goes on to mention that he spent the winter at Valley Ford (probably should have said Forge), was at the battle of Monmouth. He was also taken prisoner in 1780 at Hatteras Point, and remained a prisoner until an exchange was made, he was released at Old James Town where he remained until the end of the War, but then goes on to mention other battles he was in. I can email a copy directly to you, since we can't send it through the mailing list, and it will give you a chance to look through it yourself.
