Person:George Hogue (1)

George Hogg may have been living in New Castle County from almost as early a date as John Cann. In 1680 he owned 600 acres in Christiana Hundred adjoining Oak Hill, several miles northwest of present-day Wilmington. He, like other Friends of the period, participated in governmental affairs. He represented New Castle County in the Provincial Assembly in 1696. He was probably married three times. His first wife, whose name seems not to be known, was likely the mother of his children. His second wife was Dorcas (Walliams or Williams) Land, widow of Samuel Land. In 1716 George Hogg married Ann Humphrey of Radnor. Of his four children-George, John, James, and Sarah - John was a landholder in New Castle County but probably never married. James moved to Kent County. George married Hannah Coal from England in 1705 and had children, Elisabeth and George. Sarah Hogg married George Gregg, son of the pioneer William Gregg, and had a son, John. George Hogg, Sr., died in 1721.

   James Walliam died in 1693 in New Castle County, Delaware. He married Mary.
   James Walliam died intestate in New Castle in 1693. (Craig Horle, "Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania", 1727-1728) His son-in-law Samuel Land died intestate in New Castle County by 17 March 1686/7 when his widow Dorcas was named administratrix of his estate. (New Castle wills, A:84) She then married George Hogg as his second wife. Dorcas died by 1716 when Hogg married a third time, to Ann Humphreys. (Horle, supra, 1:435-436) The will of Dorcas' mother, Mary Walliam, dated 22 October 1695, named three sons of Dorcas Hogg by her first husband, Samuel Land - Thomas, John and Henry Land - but not her daughters.
