THOMAS HOGG.
Thomas Hogg was born in 1780, at Hinkson's Station, three miles south of Cynthiana, and died in 1861; he was thus personally acquainted with the very beginnings of the town, and nearly seventy years of its history. His father was Michael Hogg, an emigrant to Kentucky from the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Penn., at a very early period not precisely known. But before the place was thought of as a town, and probably before there was a road on the ground we call Cynthiana, Michael Hogg became the original owner of the land now occupied by David Burke, on the west side of the river, opposite to the town, at the western entrance of the bridge. His family stayed some of the time, for safety, at Hinkson's Station. But finally, he became a permanent occupant of his farm, now the Burke place; and eventually, the town being established in 1793, on Robert Harrison's land, directly across the river from Michael Hogg's place, a ferry became requisite, as a bridge could not then be afforded. Thomas Hogg, therefore, and his brother, Robert, sons of Michael Hogg, established a ferry at the present site of the bridge, and for seventeen years after the establishment of the town, this ferry was the only means of crossing the river when it could not be forded. Thomas Hogg inherited his father's landed estate, and in 1832 married Miss Clarissa McCall, a lady from Christian County, Ky., who was in Cynthiana on a visit, and acquaintance resulted in marriage. In 1853, he sold his farm to John Redmon; the latter, some years after, sold to Caleb Musser, and the latter's creditors sold to David Burke. Thomas Hogg, after disposing of his farm, moved into town, where he resided till his death, as stated, in 1861. His son, Col. John T. Hogg, our well-known fellow-citizen, is the express agent of the city, which position he has held for the last fifteen years. Michael Hogg, father of Thomas, married Mrs. Woods, whose first husband had been killed somewhere in Kentucky, by the Indians. She, all her later life, kept a garter which she took from the body of her first husband after he was killed, and this was the only relic she possessed of her first marriage.
Robert Hogg, brother of Thomas, and partner in the ownership of the ferry, removed to Hancock County, Ky., and died there in February, 1857.

The "History of Cynthiana" tells about the time at the age of 10when he was stripped naked, greased all over his body and sent on horse back to warn a neighbor, Mrs. Hayes, that the Indians planned attack her cabin.
For 17 years, from 1793 on ward, he and his brother, Robert Michael, ran a ferry crossing the Licking River.
At the death of his father Thomas inherited the land estate of his father Michael Hogg and farmed it until 1853when he sold it to David Burke and moved into Cynthiana.
