Source notes

• The History of Venango County PA, p. 831 biography of Thomas Hoge is at present the only source that gives the names of the parents of Mary Irwin. The reliability of the author is however questionable. This source lists the parents of Thomas Hoge as Mary Irwin and John Hoge (rather than James Hoge), and it lists his grandparents as Robert and Mary Hoge, (rather than Robert and Letitia). These variances in given names , between this source and The Descendants of Robert Hoge, leave the names in question, without additional evidence.
