Son of Asa & Elizabeth Ann (Norton) Hoag b 15 May 1816 Troy Rensselear Co NY. DAVID HOAG. The pioneers of Jackson
II County are fast passing away, and those who
remain to tell the story of their early adven-
tures are looked upon almost as the relics of a
l -one time. The history of their toils and sacri-
fices forms a record which is destined to be pre-
served in the hearts of their children for many
generations. Prominent among those who came to
Parma Township when it was but little removed
from the wilderness, may be properly mentioned
Mr. Hoag, who has just passed the seventy-fourth
mile-stone along the highway of life. After years
of arduous labor, he is now resting on his oais, and
surrounded by friends and the comforts of a good
home, can look hack upon the past and reasonably
feel that he has not lived in vain.

the son of Asa and Elizabeth (Norton) Hoag, who
were likewise natives of the Empire State. The
family is of English origin, and the first represen-
tatives crossed the Atlantic sometime during the
seventeenth century. Asa Hoag was born in L788,
in Dutchess County. N. Y., and removed thence
with his parents to Rensselaer County when about
twelve years old. He there developed into man-
hood and settled on a new farm, from which he
built up a good homestead. In Cambridge, Wash-
ington County, lie spent the remainder of Si i s life,
dying in 1S47. The wife and mother had preceded
her husband to the silent land twenty-four years,
her death taking place in 1823; they were the par-
ents of seven children, three of whom are living.
David Hoag under the instruction of his honored
father became a scientific farmer and chose this for
his life vocation. The primitive schools of Rens-
selaer County furnished him with his education,
and at the age of twenty- two years he set about
the establishment of a fireside of his own. being
married November 8, 1838, to Miss Mary Peck-
ham.
Mrs. Mary (Peckham) Hoag, likewise a native
of Rensselaer County. N. Y., was born in 1818 to
Samuel and Mary Peckham, who were natives of
New York, and spent the closing years of their
lives in that, State. Mr. ami Mrs. Hoag in 1888
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding
amid the congratulations and good wishes of many
friends.
Of this congenial union there was born a family
of seven children, five of whom are living — Fran-
cis II. is a resident of Parma Township; Rutger
lives in Springport Township; Isaac P. is a resi-
dent of California; John E. lives in Parma Town-
ship, this county; Phcebe is the wife of W. II.
Trope, f California. Mr. and Mrs. Hoag soon
after their marriage settled in Washington Count}',
N. Y., where they resided until 1845. Then with the three children whi -h had been added to their
household they set out for this county, and Mr.
Hoag purchased eighty acres of his present farm.
To this he subsequently added from time to time
until it now comprises two hundred and twenty
acres, all under cultivation anil embellished with
neat modern buildings, Ltwasa wild uncultivated
tract when he took possession, its only improve-
ment a log cabin, and a poor one at that, which
hail been standing a number of years, and which
did service several years longer as the home of Mr.
Hoag and his family. The present line residence
was completed in 1861. Mr. Hoag came to this
county poor in purse, and endured the usual hard-
ships and privations of life on the frontier. He
has been an eyewitness of its gradual growth and
development, and has contributed his full quota to
its general prosperity.
Mr. Hoag cast his first Presidential vote for
W. II. Harrison, and in the early days was a mem-
ber of the Whig party. Later he joined himself to
the Republicans. He has never sought office,
simply serving as Town Collector two terms, but
has aimed to give his influence in favor of every-
thing calculated to improve the condition of the
people, socially, morally and financially. Of genial
and whole-souled disposition, he invariably makes
friends wherever he goes, and enjoys in a marked
degree the respect of all who know him.
