LIEUT. COL. SIR JAMES McGAREL-HOGG, BART., K.C.B., M.P.
In the North of Ireland, and in the most prosperous portion of the Provice of Ulster, settled in days long gone by, the founders of the family of Hogg, of whom it is needless to mention the pedigree in detail, further that to say that Edward Hogg, of Lisburn, in the county of Antrim, left a son, William Hogg, of Lisburn, and afterwards of Belmont, in the same county, born in 1754, who married Mary Dickie, daughter of James Dickie, of Dunmore, county Antrim. Their eldest son, James Weir Hogg, born in 1790, studied law, and went out to India, where he became a member of the Bengal bar. He afterwards became a Registrar and Judge of the Supreme Court, Calcutta. In 1822, he married Mary, daughter of Samuel Swinton, Esq., of Swinton, Berwickshire, by whom he had seven sons and six daughters. . .
