HOG OF NEWLISTON.
[Partial Extract]
LINEAGE
The surname of Hog, one of local origin, is of great antiquity in Scotland : coeval with the retirement of Cospatrick, Earl of Northumberland, into North Britain, about the time of the Norman Conquest, it became hereditary in the reign of MALCOLM CANMORE, and was first assumed by the proprietors of the lands of Hogstown, in the shire of Angus, for we find in the bond of submission given in 1296 by the barons of Scotland to Edward I. of England, as recorded in Prynne’s history, that ALEXANDER HOG, ancestor of the family of whom we are treating is styled “ALEXANDER de HOGSTOWN.” This ALEXANDER HOG was father of JAMES HOG, who married JEAN HENDERSON, and had a son, ROGER HOG, a burgess of Edinburgh in 1330, who acquired different charters in the reign of David II. of the lands of Dalry and Eistfentown, in the constabulary of Haddington ; he gave a donation of the lands of Pitravie, in Fifeshire, to St. Nicholas’ altar ; and a charter in the same reign appears in Robertson’s Collections: “ROGERO HOG, burgensi de Edinburgh, tenementi et omnium terrarium et annuorum reddituum ejus in dicto burgo, 23rd Augt. a. r. 34”. His son, JOHN HOG, who is mentioned in the second roll of the General Register-house, as having obtained, in the 3rd of King Robert II., A.D. 1373, a charter, confirming a grant, of the deceased ISABEL, Countess of Fife (ie. ISABEL resigned her title of Countess in 1371, but died in 1389), to himself and his mother, MARGARET, out of the lands of Over and Nether Sydserff, in the barony of North Berwick, was father of ROGER HOG, whose son, ALEXANDER HOG, of Hogstown, gave a charter of alienation to SIR ALEXANDER HUME (ie. HOME), in the reign of James III. (1484.) He was founder of the house of Harcarse, in Berwickshire, from which sprung SIR ROGER HOG, senator of the College of Justice and also,

HOGG, or de HOGA, from La Hogue, in the Cotentin. In 1040 Hubert de Hoga granted lands to Cerisy Abbey (Mon. ii. 960). Henry de Hoga and Adam de Hoga in 1250 occur in the Kelso Chartulary. Godfrey de la Hoge was benefactor to Gisborne Priory, York (Mon. ii. 150). Hence the Baronets Hogg, and the poet Hogg.
