"In 1783, Moses HOGLAN's father, from the salt works, and Moses, then a lad twelve years old, were murderously assaulted by Indians while fishing in Beech Fork, a few miles above Pitts Point. The father was killed and Moses taken prisoner. The savages carried young HOGLAN to the northwest and held him for twelve years. He held the Indian ponies at the battle of Bloody Ridge, and underwent an experience of peril and hardship. He regained his liberty after the treaty of 1795. He afterward soldiered under Gen. HARRISON, and was at the Battle of Tippecanoe. Moses HOGLAN was the father of Judge Lorenza HOGLAN, of Shepherdsville, and Arterberry HOGLAN, of the Knobs, and other children deceased." SOURCE: From a site entitled the Bullitt County, Kentucky Bicentennial Celebration, 1796-1996, administered by Anthony Foster.

Moses married (2?)Mary (Polly) Connell 18 Feb 1817 Bullitt CO, Kentucky. She was born about 1796 in Kentucky. There is huge age difference here Moses was 26 years her senior. Was 47 when he married her. Witness (hard to read)

Makes me think that there were more than one family unit shown. He may be the same guy with two wives; married to (1?)Sarah Spilman b. 1788 d.? ... Witness Ben Grayson... on 22nd Nov 1806 in Bardstown, Nelson CO, Kentucky.
There is no daughter of his/theirs named Anne.

His uncle Henry Hoagland's son Moses (1791 Nelson CO, Kentucky Marriage) married to Rachel Collins, daughter of Spencer Collins, on 28 Nov 1791.
He witnessed in-law Hiram Connell married to Betsey Shoptaw.

1810 FEDERAL CENSUS INDEX FOR HENRY COUNTY, KENTUCKY
Henry Hoagland's sons....
Hogland, Aron 359A
Hogland, James 363
Hogland, Moses 355

While Henry named his eldest son James, and while two other brothers (Richard and John) did the same, it is not thought that they were old enough to have earned the rank of Ensign by 1774.

Thus, James the son of Henry (Fox Run James) did not acquire the rank of Ensign until 1785 and was unlikely to have been a captain in 1782.
