Information on Peter Hogg

James Agney Hogg's ancestry begins with Capt. Peter Hog, spelled with one "g" at that time, a native of Scotland, who came to America and settled in Augusta County, Virginia. He was an officer of the crown in the Dumnore war on the western side of the Allegheny Mountains, and was an intimate friend of George Washington and fought in the Revolution. His son Peter came West to occupy a land grant of 8,000 acres given by King George. This land was located at the month of the Great Kanawha River, in what is now Mason County, West Virginia. His son, Thomas G. Hogg, was born in 1800, was a land surveyor, and was a prominent pioneer in this western region. Many members of the Hogg family have been civil engineers. The mayor of Logan was named for his grandfather, James Abney Hogg, who was born in Mason County, was a thrifty farmer, and he married Lucy Ball, daughter of Capt. James Ball, who settled in Mason County about 1785. Among the sons of James Abney Hogg one was the late Charles E. Hogg, one of West Virginia's greatest lawyers and legal authors. He studied law while teaching school, and while in practice handled some of the most important cases in the State and Federal courts. Lawyers knew him as author of several important works, found in nearly all law libraries, and he also imparted his abilities and character upon the legal profession by his work as teacher of law and as Dean of the College of Law of West Virginia, a post he took in 1906.
