Dumfriesshire / Re: Hoggan
« on: Friday 16 March 07 21:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Carhog
We are actually closer related than you think because I too am descended from James. But I am then descended from Roberts big sister Elizabeth Robert Hoggan. Elizabeth was seven years older than Robert.
 My Father has a Sampler done by Elizabeth in 1851 at the farm where they were living.
 I have Census details from 1841, 51, 61, 71 and 81.
 It would be interesting to compare notes by e-mail.

I too am descended from William Hoggan he is my 5th Great Grandfather.He was Provost in Lochmaben in 1776, in the Council Offices in Lochmaben they have a Copy of his Signature framed on the wall. His house is still standing and is now the Kings Arms pub.
I am descended from his son Andrew who farmed in Dumfriesshire.
I have searched the OPR for Lochmaben for William  but can find no trace of him
William is buried in Lochmaben Old churchyard along with Marion and some of his Children but when I visited the Graveyard I could not find their Stone.
