    Page 635 - IV. Elizabeth Hoge, (John, William) b. about 1730; d. at an advanced life in East Pennsboro’ township, Cumberland county, Pa. She m. William Walker, a few years her senior. He served as a subaltern officer on the frontiers, during the French and Indian war; and was a substantial farmer. They were the ancestors of a prominent family, and it is to be regretted that our genealogical data is so meager. A grandson was Robert James Walker, the distinguished statesman and financier, and Secretary of the Treasury under President Polk. Of Elizabeth Hoge’s family we have the record of one child (surname Walker):
