Facts and Events
From "Early American Presbyterians" (http://sdsspc1.physics.lsa.umich.edu/amckay/presbioh.htm#Rev. Moses Hoge) Rev. Samuel Davies Hoge (1791-1826) He was the fourth son of his father, Rev. Moses Hoge, D.D. and was born in Shepherdstown, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1791. He graduated at Hampden Sydney College in 1810 where his father was University president, studied theology with his father, the Rev. Moses Hoge, D.D., and was licensed to preach by the Hanover Presbytery, May 8, 1813. While pursuing his theological studies, he was employed as Tutor in the college, and after his licensure occupied, for some time, the place of Professor and Vice President. He was installed in 1816 by the same Presbytery, pastor of the churches of Culpepper and Madison, in Virginia, and preached to them until April, 1821, when he removed to Ohio. He was a member of the Presbytery of Chillicothe, Ohio in 1821, having been transferred from the Presbytery of Winchester, Virginia. He preached at Hillsborough and Rocky Spring in Highland Co., Ohio. He requested that the pastoral relation between himself and Hillsborough and Rocky Spring Churches be dissolved in December 3, 1823, which request was granted. He was thereafter dismissed to join the Presbytery of Athens, Ohio, where he had accepted the Professorship of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in the fledgling Ohio University at Athens. He died in 1826. As a pulpit orator, he lacked only voice and physical strength to have ranked with the first preachers of his age. His style was pure, simple and energetic, expressing with greatest exactness the nicest shades of thought. He was the brother of James Hoge, D.D. He married, October 1812, Elizabeth Rice, daughter of Rev. Drury Lacy, who died Gallatin, Tennessee, November 24, 1840. Four children, Rev. William J. Hoge, Rev. Moses Drury Hoge, Anny Lacy Hoge, wife Wm. Henry Marquess, and Elizabeth Lacy Hoge. References
