Project Summary:
The Hogg DNA project is managed by Dwight Hogge and Deb Waite. To email us
click here.
The goal of the project is to use DNA to identify connections between Hogg lines
that cannot be shown to be connected using traditional genealogy practices.
Our project is run in a manner independent of all testing companies. We accept
project members tested by any testing company. In fact, we shamelessly seek
out data relavant to the project whereever we can find it. If you are a
descendant of any Hogg line (using any reasonable spelling variation) through a
direct male-to-male path, we invite you to join the project. If you already
have DNA data from any testing company, you can join immediately by simply
sharing your data with us. If you have not been tested, contact us and we will
help you choose a test appropriate for your circumstances.
Not withstanding our testing company independant nature, we maintain a presence
as a recognised surname project at each of the major testing companies. This
allows us to qualify for group discount rates and provides us access to the
propriarity data base of each testing company (within the constraints imposed
by each testing company's policy on uploading data from other conpanies).
The following links lead to the three testing company specific websites:
Monica Hogg, on her web site
"The Hogg Surname Centre", has a page
(click here) discussing the origins of the surname Hogg. She lists the
following various origins:
1. middle English: hog, a name for swine
2. Scottish: hog or hogg, a yearling sheep
3. Old English and Nordic: hoga, wise, careful, or prudent
4. Irish Gaelic: Mac an Bhanbh, son of the hog
5. English: a descendant of Hodge, Hodge is a nickname for Roger
6. English: a dweller near a portion of wood marked off by a clearing
7. Old Norse and Danish: Hogge, a falconer; hog (with a slash through the o),
is a Danish word for hawk
8. Dutch: Hogg, the dyke area of the Dutch coastline
9. English: an unkind nickname for a self-indulgent, gluttonous person
To Monica's list, we can add the following:
Frank R. Holmes, "Dictionary of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families,
1620-1700" tells us that "Hoag" is derived from the Welsh:
10. Welsh: low in stature, small
We also can cite the region "La Hague" in Normandy:
11. a region in Normandy: La Hague
Also we know from the Gaelic:
12. Gaelic: Og is the word meaning "Junior"
Finally, as modern members of American Society, although we cannot suggest that
this was ever used to provide a family surname, we cannot fail to mention:
13. modern American nickname: Hog, a Harley-Davidson motercycle
As we are learning from the DNA, there are several unralated Hogg families. It
is very likely that several of these possible origins have been used by the
different families and there is no single origin for the name.
As part of this project, We have began to assemble a list of all Hogg lines
that We can identify. Our list is dominated by Hogg familes in the USA because
that is the area we are most familar with. However, and are adding lines world
wide as we learn of them. Our list so far follows. We assume we have only
scratched the surface, but it's a start.
Hoggs with ancestry before 1900, mostly in the USA, but some still in the UK
and elsewhere.

Hoggs in the USA early who are not known to have left descendants
1. Thomas Hogg was a resident of New Haven as early as 1637. He was accused of
the crime of bestiality in 1645, but was not convieted. He was wipped for
general lewdness.
2. William Hogg was brought to Northumberland Co. Virginia by John Armesbee in
1650 (C&P Vol. 1, p. 206).
3. Mary Hogges was brought to Northumberland Co. Virginia by John Cooke in
1650 (C&P Vol. 1, p. 207).
4. Savage tells us that five "Hoggs" landed at Boston in May 1652 by the ship
"John & Sarah" of London. They were to be sold, having been made prisoners
at Worcester on 3 Sept. 1651. Not one of them was heard of thereafter.
5. Andrew Hogg was brought to Virginia by John Ashley and Mr. Hamper in 1653
(C&P Vol. 1, p. 288).
6. Thomas Hogg was brought to Northampton Co. Virginia by Southy Littleton in
1656 (C&P Vol. 1, p. 327).
7. Robert Hogg was brought to Petomeck freshes (Westmoreland Co.) Virginia by
Henry Vincent in 1657 (C&P Vol 1. p. 353). Note: Thomas Hill received a
grant on the same day and in the same location for transporting himself,
three male Hills (sons?) and two female Hills (daughters?). Thomas Hill's
grant and Henry Vincent's grant are recorded on the same page of Patent
Book No. 4.
8. Lawrence Hogge or Hegge was brought to Northampton Co. Virginia by William
Roberts in 1657 (C&P Vol. 1, p. 356).
9. John Hogg was brought to Charles City Co. or James City Co. Virginia by
Fardinando Austin in 1664 (C&P Vol. 1, p. 564).
10. John Hogg was brought to New Kent Co. Virginia by Capt. William Bassett in
1695.
Project Results:
What we have learned so far from the DNA project
I. The DNA project has accomplished the discovery of a cluster of six Hogg
lines that were not previously known to be related. The resulting DNA
matches indicate that the following lines descend from a common ancestor:
1. descendants of John Hogg of Gloucester RI (line RI1690)
2. descendants of William Hogg of Londonderry NH (line NH1703)
3. descendants of Alexander Ogg b.ca.1745, Scotland (line MD1765)
4. descendants of James Hogg Sr. of Savannah GA (line GA1770)
5. descendants of Robert Hogg, b.1721, Southern Scotland (line PA1754)
6. descendants of James Hogue, b.1825, Pennsylvania (line PA1825)
We have determined the modal haplotype for this cluster. This haplotype
is designated "Hogg modal haplotype no. 1" and is identified as belonging
to the I1 haplogroup. The 11 tested project members that are a close
match with this modal haplotype are:
1. project id MD1765a, a 75 out of 75 (100%) match
2. project id NH1703c, a 37 out of 37 (100%) match
3. project id XXNNNNb, a 30 out of 30 (100%) match
4. project id NH1703b, a 74 out of 75 (98.7%) match
5. project id PA1754a, a 44 out of 45 (97.8%) match
6. project id NH1703a, a 41 out of 42 (97.6%) match
7. project id GA1770a, a 41 out of 42 (97.6%) match
8. project id GA1770b, a 73 out of 75 (97.3%) match
9. project id other17, a 70 out of 73 (95.9%) match
10. project id RI1690a, a 36 out of 38 (94.7%) match
11. project id PA1825a, a 71 out of 75 (94.7%) match
As a result of this discovery, descendants of these lines are endevouring
to determine the links that connect them to a common ancestor.
Also, we have developed a model for the conectivity of these five lines.
Click here for a discussion of that model.
II. The recent addition of DNA data from VA1657c and VA1657d, which are a
close match to each other but do not match the data from VA1657a and
BA1657b, suggests an NPE in this line. Click here for an analysis of the
possible explanations for this NPE. We have identified the most likely
point in the tree that might account for the disconnect and we are
looking for additional DNA donors to bracket the event.
III. We have discovered very close matches between data from line NJ1682 and
data from other donors with the following names: Carr/Kerr, Hamilton,
McLane/McLean, and McIntire. It appears that the ancestry of these
families is interconnected in a very complicated way.
IV. It has been determined that the DNA donors from line NC1720 and line
VA1790 are a close match, indicating that these two lines descend from a
common ancestor. The desdendants of these two lines are working to
identify the common ancestor.
V. It has been determined that the DNA donors from line GA1758 and line
NC1787 are a close match, indicating that these two lines descend from a
common ancestor. The desdendants of these two lines are working to
identify the common ancestor.
VI. It has been determined that the DNA donors from line AU1745 and line
GA1795 are a close match, indicating that these two lines descend from a
common ancestor. The desdendants of these two lines are working to
identify the common ancestor.
VII. The fact that the DNA of many Hoggs that have been tested do not match
any other indicates that these Hoggs do not have any common ancestors
within a genealocically relevant period. There are several distinct
founding Hogg lines. The following Hogg lines (in order of date of first
known ancestor) appear to be unique lines, not connected to any other line:
1. descendants of Richard Hoag of Boston MA (line MA1637)
2. descendants of John Hogg of New Kent Co. VA (line VA1657)
3. descendants of Sir John Hoge of Musselburgh, Scotland (line NJ1682)

Several Hogg lines have been identified but not yet tested. Further
understanding of the relationships between these lines awaits the testing
of more DNA donors.
Project Plans:
Our X most wanted list
This is our list of the X most wanted new members. Although any candidate with
the surname Hogg, or any variation of Hogg, or who for any reason thinks that
he might be the paternal descendant of a Hogg is welcome to join the project,
these candidates are identified by us as particularly desireable because they
might answer a specific question. The number X will vary from time to time.
1. a descendant of line VA1744. This is an important Virginia line for which
we need a baseline reference that other members can be compared with. It is
possible that this line might be connected to line NJ1682 or line VA1657 and
there are several other later Virginia lines that might connect to this line.
2. a descendant of line SC1745. It is believed that this line is connected to
line VA1744 but there is some controversy as to how this connection is to be
made. Data from both lines would support the argument that they are
connected.
3. descendants of William Hoge, b.1660, Musselburgh, Scotland through two of
his sons other than William Jr. This data, in combination with the data from
the descendants of his son William Jr., which we have already, will
establish the haplotype of the senior William.
4. descendants of line VA1745 through Capt. Peter Hogg and his brother James.
This data, in combination with the data from Peter's brother Thomas, which
we have, will establish the haplotype of the father of these three brothers,
who is thought to be James Hogg of Edinburgh.
5. a descendant of Lewis Hogg Sr. b.1773, Gloucester Co. VA. It is strongly
suspected that he is a descendant of line VA1657 but this is not proven.
6. descendants of Richard Hogg Sr. b.ca.1717, Gloucester Co. VA through his
sons Richard Jr. and John Sr. This data, in combination with the data from
the descendant of Richard Sr. through his son Fielding, which we have
already, will establish the haplotype of Richard Sr.
7. a descendant of Richard Hogg Sr. (b.ca.1717, Gloucester Co. VA) through his
son John Sr. by one of his older sons (one of the candidates suggested in
item 6, above) and a descendant of a son of Lewis Hogg Jr. (youngest son of
John Hogg Sr.). This combination of data samples would bracked the point in
this tree where the presumed NPE is likely.
