   Page 565 – William Hoge had left Scotland when quite a youth, in company with other emigrants, among whom was a family by the name of Hume; the father and mother died at sea, and left a daughter, an only child.
   Young Hoge took charge of the young Miss Hume (then a child), and, after arriving in this country, delivered her to the care of a Dr. Johnston, a family connection. In course of time, William Hoge married this Miss Hume, and when Dr. Robert White visited the family of William Hoge, he met, wooed and won their eldest daughter, Margaret Hoge, and here most probably is to be found the true solution of his resignation from the British navy. About the year 1735, William Hoge, then an old man, removed with his children to Frederick County, Virginia (which county was not formed as such until 1738), and was accompanied by Dr. Robert White and his wife and children.

   Wallace and Hoge - I. William Hoge, a native of Musselburgh, Scotland, came to America shortly after 1682. On the same ship came a family consisting of a Mr. Hume, his wife, and daughter, from Paisley. On the passage the father and mother both died, and young Hoge took charge of the daughter and landed at New York, where he left the girl with a relative, and settled himself at Perth Amboy, N. J. He subsequently married the daughter, Barbara Hume, removed to Penn’s Three Lower Counties, no the State of Delaware; from thence to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; and finally to the Valley of Virginia, about three miles south of Winchester, where he and his wife lived and died. They had a large family, many of whose descendants became distinguished in Church and State. Their oldes son was:
