     Samuel Hoge, the second son of Joshua Hoge. was born in Fauquier County, Virginia on October 28, 1805. The family name is found variously as Hog, Hogg, Hoag, Hoge, and Hogue. Its first representative in this country was William Hoge, who came from Scotland during the seventeenth century, and settled in Pennsylvania.

When Samuel was twenty-one his father gave him $1,000 in cash and in company with Hendley Gregg, his sister Amy's husband, he went to Belmont County, Ohio and started a store. After five years spent in trade, he sold out to his brother-in-law, and came west into Grundy County, Illinois, where his brother, William, had already become established.

This was in the fall of 1834 and he brought with him about $2,000 which he at once invested it in government land. His first purchase was of a quarter section in the Illinois River valley; about three miles west of Morris, where he erected a log cabin and soon after entered a full section at the head of the timber on Nettle Creek, west of his brother William.

For five years he made his home with William's family but on May 23, 1839 he married Matilda, the daughter of Abram Holderman, Sr, and set up housekeeping in his log cabin near Morris. There he remained a year, during which he put up another house on Nettle Creek, to which he removed the following April 1840.

Fifteen children came to them, as the fruit of their union, nine of whom are still living and six married and settled, mostly on farms in the vicinity. Mr. Hoge never sold a foot of land but continued to add to his estate from time to time, till, at his death March 13, 1881, he owned nearly 6,000 acres.

The youngest daughter, Lina M, is now (1882) completing a very thorough musical education, at Leavenworth, Kansas. The youngest son, Landy, is also attending school at the same place. Charles lives with his mother on the old homestead. Hendley, the eldest son, married Miss Virginia Silcott, and has two children. Charlotte married William Reardan, and is the mother of four children. Jane is the wife of John Cunnea, of the firm of Janus Cunnea and Sons, bankers in Morris, and has three children. Joshua, married Laura Quigley, and has one child. Isaac, the twin brother of Joshua, married Mary Peacock and they have four children. George, married Ella Quigley, the sister of Laura, his brother's wife, and has two children. One son, Abraham, died at Holly Springs, Mississippi, during the second year of the war of the rebellion. It is unnecessary to add, that without exception, these families are among the wealthiest and most respectable in Grundy County.² Descendants of Joshua Hoge
