Overview

Based on Source:Hanna, undated:

The Rev. John Hoge (ca. 1723-1807) was the son of John Hoge, elder in Elk River congregation in 1724, and Gwenthleen Bowen Davis and grandson of William Hoge, ("an exile for Christ's sake,") and Barbara Hume, immigrants from Scotland in the ship Caledonia about 1682. He was a graduate of Nassau Hall (Princeton) in 1749, and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, October 10th, 1753. In 1755 he was ordained by the Presbytery of New Castle and became the first pastor of the churches of Opequon and Cedar Creek, Virginia. In 1760 we find him the pastor of Tuscarora, Opequon and Back Creek churches. The congregations fell into salary arrears and in 1761 he asked for dissolution. Matters dragged on until May 17, 1772, when the pastoral relation was finally dissolved by Donegal Presbytery, to which he was transferred, May 17, 1759, by the Synod. He served nearby vacancies during and after his pastorate, and over the mountains into Pennsylvania. About 1776, he removed to Pennsylvania, probably to Northumberland County where he was a minister in 1793, and where descendants of his resided in 1904 at Watsontown. He was a charter member of Carlisle Presbytery October 17, 1886 [1806?] and convenor and first moderator of Huntingdon Presbytery April 14, 1795, and died, February 11, 1807, advanced in years. He was born in Pennsylvania about 1723; at least two children, John and Priscilla. His peculiar talent was to hunt up and gather together the scattered members of the church.
