Michael Hogg was born on 10 June 1752, probably in Washington County, Maryland near the town of Clear Springs. He was enrolled as a private in the 6th Company 6th Battalion Cumberland County militia serving from Peters Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Date of service 23 October 1777. Perry Township lies just across the Maryland/Pennsylvania state line about 10 miles from Clear Springs, Maryland. Pennsylvania actively recruited from the area and it would seem Michael, a John Hogg and a David Hogg all enlisted from the same township.
On December 2, 1778 Michael Hogg was married in Clear Springs, Washington County, Maryland by the Reverend George Young of St. Paul's Lutheran church of Clear Springs to Mrs. Elizabeth Read Woods, who was born 31 October 1757. She was the widow of Thomas Woods who was killed by Indians somewhere on the Kentucky frontier. Possibly the Ensign Thomas Woods, killed CA. 1 October 1777. On the 4th of March of the same year David Hogg was married to Mary Gibb by the same minister. I believe David and Michael were brothers as was also the John Hogg who enlisted with them. I believe their father was the John Hogg who is recorded as buying land in that area as early as 1760 and is listed on the 1790 census.
In the year 1779, and only for that year, John Hogg was listed as a member of the Upper- west Conococheague church built at Church Hill, Peters Township, Franklin County (created from Cumberland County) Pennsylvania. On 1 November 1779 Mary (Polly) Hogg, the oldest child of Michael Hogg was baptized in this same church, Dr. King minister. Michael Hogg was listed on the tax rolls of Perry County for the one year of 1779. I believe that after this year the family moved to western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh, where David Hogg and his family lived, and remained there until about 1784/85when they were definitely in the area of Cynthiana, Kentucky. The information that son Thomas was born in 1780 at Hinkson Station I believe is incorrect as that station was abandoned in 1780 due to Indian activity.
On 20 September 1786 Michael received a grant of 1,000 acres of land in what was then Fayette County, Virginia (now Kentucky) on the south-west side of the south fork of the Licking River. This grant was signed by Patrick Henry, governor of Virginia. Some sources say this land was an army grant, and it is possible it was given for his service in the Revolution even if that service was from another state.
In 1787 Michael's name occurs in a volume marked "Military Certificates, No. 1" This volume contains the names of men who presented certificates of service under General George Rogers Clark and Colonel Benjamin Logan in their expeditions against the Indians. The entiy dated 26 September 1800 indicates Michael served with George Rogers Clark against the Wabash Indians.
Michael Hogg's name appears on at least three petitions of the early inhabitants of Kentucky to the General Assembly of Virginia. The first, dated 25 November 1785, asks that Fayette County be divided into two counties. This resulted in the establishment of Bourbon County in May 1788. The second asks for the establishment of a more convenient inspection of tobacco so that it would not be necessary to transport it such long distances. This was granted. The third dealt with transportation on the Licking River and was dated 22 October 1790.
Michael Hogg died 13 January 1815. He is buried in a Cynthiana graveyard, probably the old graveyard on Main Street, His will was probated in February 1815. His widow, Elizabeth, died 8 May 1828.
The following shows Michael's provisions for his widow. ...My will is that my wife, Elizabeth, shall have her choice of any one room in the house I now live in for her lifetime, to live in with privilege of her cooking and washing in the kitchen belonging to said house and also one bed and bedding and a bed sted, and likewise her choice of one mare and saddle not exceeding sixty dollars, one cow and calf-
