  • Notes 
    • William Hogan Sr is said to have married a full-blooded Indian in Virginia. He left her & brought his 2 sons William Jr & Daniel to Willis Bottom. He married Jennie Rogers & reared a large family, who all left with William's son Daniel Hogan & settled in the North & West. Young Hogan, one of the last set of children, killed a man named Smith prior to leaving. He left the man that he killed in a cave in the river bluff for some time & this place was known as "Hogan's Hole". Only William Hogan Jr stayed in this area.


      Hegira, Ky. June 7, 1919

      About the close of the Revolutionary War, ourGrandfather Hogan whose name we are not sure of, but think it was William, cameto the Willis Bottom on Obey River in what is now Clay Co. Tenn.

      He is said to have married a full blooded Indianin Old Virginia, he left here and brought his 2 sons here. His remains lie inWillis Bottom.

      These 2 sons named Daniel and William Hogan. Theold man married Jennie Rogers here and they raised up a large family ofchildren.

      All these last children and their half-brotherDaniel left this country and scattered North and West.

      Young Hogan, one of the Rogers children, killeda man named Smith before they left here. He lay in a cave in the river blufffor a long time, and this place is yet known as the "Hogan Hole". Alltrace of these Hogans have been lost to us.

      William Hogan alone remained here. He married Mary Spears and they raised a large family of children many of whom lived anddied here in Tenn. and KY. Only one of whom is now known to be living, Ruth S.Howard. She is living with the writer.

      In a great many instance the dates are gatheredfrom the most reliable source possible, but they must not be relied upon asabsolutely correct, in every case, the writer acknowledges himself indebted toRuth S. Howard for much of the information regarding the older relatives hereinmentioned.

      The collection mentioned above is the mainsource for my Hogan information. Other Hogan family members have added to it astime went by. I have many other families in this collection also. Some surnamesmentioned are: Hoots, Williams, Willis, McMillan, Edens, Smith, Howard,Walthal, Needham, Maynard, Reeder, Huffer, Thacker, Christian, Grady,Whitehead, Lay, Rees, Martin, Blankenship, McKinney, Richardson, Dennis, Cary,Tucker, Sanders, Cummins, Wood, Scalf, Rollins, McGee, Dill, Shirley, Roper,Farris, Hair, Edwards, Firpo, Foust, Kuykendall, Hamer, Lee, Henderson,Barefoot, Gambrell, Rowland, Warren, Wright, Jarrell, Julian, Hayhurst,Gibbins, Myers, Cross, Richenback, Conner, Hamby, Edwards, Hicks, Logan,Denney, Ratlift, Davidson, Harney, Dimpfl, Poindexter, Estep, Dullworth, andsome information on the Cleary genealogy.

      What I have listed is only the surnamesmentioned with a list of offspring. The Cleary genealogy is traced back to theHogans, I believe through marriage
