I. The DNA project has accomplished the discovery of a cluster of nine 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 Alexander Ogg b.ca.1745, Scotland (line MD1765)
2. descendants of William Hogg of Londonderry NH (line NH1703)
3. descendants of James Hogg Sr. of Savannah GA (line GA1770)
4. descendants of John Hogg of Gloucester RI (line RI1690)
5. descendants of Robert Hogg b.1721, Southern Scotland (line PA1754)
6. descendants of James Hogue b.1825, Pennsylvania (line PA1825)
7. descendants of Robert Hogg b.1725, Scotland d.1747, PA (Line PA1755)
8. descendants of James Hogg of Northern Ireland b.ca.1777 (Line NI1777)
9. descendants of John Hogg d.1825, Vermilion Co. IL (Line IL1825)
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 (I-M253) haplogroup. We have 14 tested project members with a
surname tgat is a variant of Hogg. They all closely match the modal
haplotype. They are:
1. project Id MD1765a, a 111 out of 111 (100%) match
2. project Id NH1703a, a 41 out of 43 (95.3%) match
3. project Id NH1703b, a 74 out of 76 (97.4%) match
4. project Id NH1703c, a 66 out of 67 (98.5%) match
5. project Id GA1770a, a 41 out of 43 (95.3%) match
6. project Id GA1770b, a 96 out of 111 (95.5%) match
7. project Id GA1770d, a 65 out of 67 (97.0%) match
8. project Id RI1690a, a 37 out of 39 (94.9%) match
9. project Id RI1690b, a 96 out of 111 (95.5%) match
10. project Id PA1754a, a 45 out of 46 (97.8%) match
11. project Id PA1825a, a 96 out of 111 (95.5%) match
12. project Id PA1755a, a 110 out of 111 (99.1%) match
13. project Id NI1777a, a 95 out of 111 (94.6%) match
14. project Id IL1825a, a 30 out of 30 (100%) match
In addition to these project members with a surname that is a variant of
Hogg, there are numerous other project members with surnames Hillhouse and
Hillis. These too closely match the modal haplotype and are apparently
closely related to the Hogg's. I is an open question: which came first,
the Hogg's or the Hillhouse/Hillis's?
As a result of this discovery, descendants of these lines are endevoring
to determine the links that connect them to a common ancestor.
Also, we have developed a model for the connectivity of these nine lines.

II. The DNA data from VA1658a, VA1658b, and VA1658c, match each other. Also,
the DNA data from VA1656a, VA1656b, and VA1656c, match each other. But,
the VA1656 donors do not match do the VA1657 donors, even though the
published genealogy said they were cousins. The DNA data has revealed a
mistake in the published genealogy. Click here for a discussion of our
current understanding of these two families.
III. We have discovered very close matches between data from line NJ1682 and
data from other donors with the following names: Carr/Kerr/Cerr/Karr,
Hamilton, McLean, McIntire, Kilgour, and Roberts. It appears that the
ancestry of these families is interconnected in a very complicated way.
We have created a tree showing our best picture at this time of how these
lines are connected. Click here for that tree.
IV. It has been determined that the DNA donors from line VA1657, line NC1720,
and line VA1790 are a close match, indicating that these three lines
descend from a common ancestor. The descendants of these three lines are
working to identify the common ancestor.
V. It has been determined that the DNA donors from lines GA1758, NC1787, and
SC1836 are a close match, indicating that these three lines descend from a
common ancestor. The descendants of these three lines are working to
identify the common ancestor.
VI. It has been determined that the DNA donors from line AU1745 and line
GA1804 are a close match, indicating that these two lines descend from a
common ancestor. The descendants 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 genealogically 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 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.
