Misc. Notes
17 May 1808, John bought land in Catawissa Twp., Northumberland Co., PA [now Roaring Creek Twp., Columbia Co. - see http://www.pa-roots.com/columbia/history/chapter16.html]. [1868, p.32]

There is a memorial for “John HOGELAND, Sr.” on Findagrave (# 107516714 [1498]) but it is not based on an actual discovery of his burial location. The memorial places his grave in McIntyre Cemetery, Catawissa, Columbia Co., Pennsylvania, but only through association with descendants buried there.

Carpenter [1818, p.204] claims that John died in 1784 in Kingwood, Hunterdon Co., NJ, and that his wife’s name was Francina OPDYKE, daughter of Joshua OPDYKE. However, John was named in his father’s will on 25-NOV-1799, [3853] thus implicitly alive then, so on that basis I discount Carpenter’s John. Runk( [3856, p.173 & 181]) says Francena OPDYCKE’s [sic] first husband was “John HOGELAND/HOAGLAND” of Baptistown, New Jersey, born 14-OCT-1754 and died, 07-JAN-1784. George W. HOAGLAND admits there were at least three John HOAGLANDs living in Hunterdon Co. around the same time. [1868, p.32] But there has been no other association of this HOOGLAND family with Baptistown.

Additional trivia related to all this is that Runk states that Francena OPDYCKE’s mother was Anna GREEN, daughter of Samuel GREEN (but not of the wife of Samuel shown in this genealogy), and that Ambrose BARCROFT’s (Francena’s 2nd husband) 1st wife was Alice WATERHOUSE.

The book by Daniel Hoogland Carpenter claims that John died in 1784 (page 204) [1818, p.204]. This cannot be correct, since John was mentioned in his father’s will, which was dated 25-NOV-1799. In contrast, the book by George Williams Hoagland [1868] states that John moved to Catawissa Twp., Northumberland Co., PA [now Roaring Creek Twp., Columbia Co.], and died at Mill Grove, Roaring Creek Twp., Columbia Co., Pennsylvania (pages 32-33), Nov. 1843. However, the 1840 census of Roaring Creek Twp. [3857] lists a John Hogland [sic] who was no older than 59, and therefore this might have been John Jr., with John Sr. perhaps having died before 1840. And since the oldest female in that household was 20-29, she was probably a daughter of John Jr., and John Sr.’s wife, Elizabeth Green, had also probably died before 1840. John Jr.’s first wife is believed to have died in 1826, but his second wife lived to 1889, so it is puzzling she was not tallied in the 1840 household (she would have been 32 — perhaps she was counted as 29?).

Misc. Notes
A memorial exists for Elizabeth on Findagrave (# 113431083) [1498] but it is not based on an actual discovery of her grave.

I am suspicious that John & Elizabeth would have both a Jonathan and a John, especially with the same birth day one year apart (though coincidences do happen). Note also that the book says that only Jonathan and Samuel inherited money from their grandfather, Samuel Green. Why was John left out? Obviously need to see the entire will. [1868, p.32-33]
