Sarah Hoge

NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR Sarah Hoge/Hogg is not in my direct ancestry. She is 1 step removed in the following ways: Sister of James Hoge Daughter of Robert Hoge and wife Letitia unknown.

Sarah Hoge/Hogg was born in May, 1753 to Robert & Letitia Hoge/Hogg, shortly after they had immigrated from County Down, Ireland in 1752. Her father was born in Scotland, and it is possibly that her mother, born in Northern Ireland, was also of Scottish descent. We expect Sarah's birth to have been in eastern Pennsylvania, possibly the Philadelphia area. A brother born in Ireland in 1751 is reported to have died at age 2 (in 1753) in Philadelphia. The family located in the Tuscarora Valley of Cumberland Co. PA (now Juniata Co.) in the spring of 1754. Sarah thus grew up as the oldest of the suviving children, with three younger sisters, and one brother. Another brother born in 1764 died in infancy.

In June of 1756 Indian incursions along the Juniata forced the Hoge family to flee to Carlisle, where they stayed until fall of that year. Twice more they took refuge in Carlisle. Sarah would have been three years old when these incidents began. Sarah married first to George McCullough. They are known to have had two daughters, Letitia and Ann McCullough/McCollough , named in the will of their grandfather Robert Hogg. Sarah married second to Hamilton Graham, and had at least three children - Robert, George and Jane Graham, who are also named in the will. When Sarah was 48 years old, and twice married, her father, Robert Hoge, died on his farm in Juniata Co. 25 Jan. 1798, aged 80 years. Letitia survived him until 8 Mar. 1812, when Sarah Graham would have been age 62 years. Her parents are buried in the McKee graveyard.
