The Hogg Family

The Hogg Family

How we all got here...

Hogg descendants who attended the 1999 reunion.

We have traced our history back as far as the early 1700s, but some of the earlier history has been questioned, so we will start with what we base our reunions on -

JAMES HOGG AND ELIZABETH LONGSHORE.

JAMES HOGG (b. 1767-1775 in SC, d. 1840s in Newberry CO, SC) married ELIZABETH LONGSHORE (b.1760-1770) in the 1800s in Newberry CO, SC.

They had five children:
LEWIS (b. 1800 in SC, d. 1866 in Marion CO, GA),
GEORGE EUCLIDUS (b. 4/27/1809 in SC, d. 3/17/1855 in Talbot CO, GA),
SAMUEL (b. 1811 in Edgefield Dist. SC, d. 1851 in Talbot CO, GA),
SALLY/SARAH (b. 1805 in SC, d. 5/07/1883 in Van Zandt CO, TX), and
POLLY/MARY (b. 1807 in SC).

We have now traced over 3000 family members descending from James & Elizabeth.
