Our "immigrating ancestor" was William Hoge who arrived in New Jersey from Scotland in 1682. We've traced his ancestry back to Erip, Prince of the Picts. I may be the last William Lacy Hoge in our line, so we want to share our family history, especially regarding the blending of cultures at Falls of the Ohio. Our genes and ancestors have had a significant impact on who we are today. William Lacy Hoge, Jr. was a gentle, loyal, and committed man who inspired his children and grandchildren.

This book is an attempt to share with our extended family the stories of our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and the other ancestors from the Hoge line who extend back across the Atlantic Ocean to the ancestral homeland of Scotland. We hope you’ll enjoy sharing this journey with us.
