1	1790 United States Federal Census, Chester Co. PA, Oxford Twp, pg. 3 on Ancestry.com. Census not dated. George McCullough head of a household that includes 3 males under age 16, 1 male over age 16, and 3 females. * Note: The George McCullough entry (31300) could be the spouse of Sarah Hoge but the 3 boys in the census are not known to be Sarah's; the 2 daughters are documented elsewhere. This appears to be the closest match, from 5 George McCulloughs listed in PA in 1790. Listed in the same township are the households of a Robert McKee (12200); Robert Hogg (14200); William Robinson (10100); John Robinson (14200). These surnames are those of the spouses of the children of Robert Hoge, though not these individuals. The cluster of names suggests that this could be the community of residence of Robert Hoge's family. (1790 census numbers indicate males under 16, males over 16, females, other free persons, & slaves.)
