Note ~~ It is not known the exact location of his burial. I'm adding his
name to Find A Grave to refute the misinformation that is on the Internet.
A cenotaph memorial has been applied for Henry and burial site is planned at Houghland Hill.

He died before the 5th March 1782 ESTATE. [His brother John died 5 JUNE 1782]
"[Administration of] Henry Hougland's estate granted James Hougland, and bond of one thousand pounds, Specie, Richard Chenoweth, and Thomas Curry Securities. At a Court held for Jefferson County on the 5th March 1782 The above administrations granted. Test Mer'th Price."
James [Fox Run], his eldest son born 1752, was the administrator.
....
The purpose of this memorandum is to offer new and corroborative proofs that Henry Hougland was the son of Jacobus Jans Hoagland and the grandson of Jan Dirckszen Hoaglandt. Also noted in details at the bottom Phoebe Nancy Hoagland Collings was/is not their daughter!
Corroborative proofs are many, including:
b. during the year of 1726 Frederick County, [West] Virginia as noted by genealogists, similar age as his wife Jemima Van Nieuwkerck Newkirk.
Son of Jacobus Jans Hoagland and Marcey MNU.
m.c.1751 [most likely] Pennsylvania; first born son James 'Fox Run' Hougland was born 1852 in Pennsylvania.
d.bef.5 Mar 1782 Jefferson (now Bullitt) County, Kentucky

1776 LAND TRANSACTION. "The earliest record of a land title in Smith township is dated May 10, 1776, one hundred and eighty-six acres of land which was sold by William Crawford and Henry Houghland to Joseph Phillis, located on Raccoon Creek, 'which lands the said William Crawford and Henry Houghland are entitled to by improvement, according to the custom of the country.' . . . On the 10th of May, 1776, a tract of land on Raccoon Creek, adjoining George McCormick, containing one hundred and eighty-six acres, was conveyed to Joseph Philles, in consideration of twenty pounds, by William Crawford and Henry Houghland, 'which lands the said William Crawford and Henry Houghland are entitled to by improvement, according to the custom of this country.' . . . Joseph Vance came to Smith township from Winchester, Va., in 1774, and commenced to improve land where Presely Leach now lives, but William Crawford and Henry Houghland had a prior claim, and he abandoned it and took up the land now owned by Allison, Thomas P., and John S. Vance."[15]

"HOAGLAND'S FORT. Hoagland's Fort was near Leech's old mill on the north branch of Raccoon Creek, Smith township, Washington county. On land now owned by Joseph Keys are some stones which are said to be on the site of Henry Hoagland's Fort. It is said the land belonged to Lund Washington and that Henry Hoagland never had legal title to the land. . . . Among others James Leech, Matthew Rankin, William Rankin, and Thomas Rankin forted there. . . . There is a tradition that at one time the women of this fort repulsed the Indians who were attacking it with scalding water. [MS-Messrs. Reed and Simpson]."[16]

HOAGLAND'S FORT. "[On May 19, 1795, John Wishart] purchased of Gabriel Blakeney one hundred and seventy-three acres of land for three hundred forty-six pounds, 'situate and lying on the waters of Raccoon Creek, adjoining lands of John McKibbin and lands formerly of John McCormick.' This last tract was part of the land granted by Virginia patent to Lund Washington, Nov. 24, 1779, who sold to George McCormick, Jan. 20, 1792, and who February 27th of the same year sold to Gabriel Blakeney. On this tract had been an old fort, known as Hoagland's Fort, which the Rankins, Buxtons, and others used as a place of protection."[17]

1777 LETTER. "Library of Congress Manuscripts. in Gen. Edw. Hand's letters are in Peter Force Collection: . . . . 17 Aug. 1777 from Maj. Henry Taylor from Kerdon's Bottom to Gen. Hand at Ft. Pitt: Inhab[itant]s of Holladay's Cove took his ammo & guns to defend themselves. 'The militia is chiefly all gone and going home, therefore I will have only Capt. Hogland & Capt. Pierce volunteers unless new draughts are sent.'"[18]

1777 LETTER. "Library of Congress Manuscripts. Gen. Edw. Hand's letters are in Peter Force Collection: . . . . 31 Aug. 1777. Kardon's Bottom. Henry Taylor still at this station. This is the letter telling of Henry Hogland, at the mouth of Beaver Creek, going home. Kept 12 volunteers to build fort & guard his mill. 31 Aug. 1777 to Gen. Hand from Henry Taylor. Kardons Bottom. Dear Sir: 'I enclose 2 pay rolls of the vol[unteers] formerly called Capt. Hogland's & Capt. Pierce's. It has always been a bone of contention with respect to the ranks of these two parties and unless their merit will settle the poing, it will be a difficulty to know what will be the issue--as for what footing Capt. Hogland has to expect to be captain, I am at a loss to guess, it must be for some other services done when acting in the capacity of a captain, for I can assure you, on all my visists to his station I never found him there, and it is currently reported that he has not been 4 days here since the spring -- As for Capt. Pierce he was appointed in like manner for the Pluggies Town Expedition & when that fell thru, was ordered to guard the frontiers. He offered to resign rank but volunteers would have left with him so kept office. I can with propriety assert that he has done the duty of a capt[ain].' . . . Can find no replies by Hand concerning above letters."[19]

1777 COUNCIL OF WAR. "On the 13th of December, 1776, Patrick Henry addressed a letter to Dorsey Pentecost, then county lieutenant . . . for Yohogania County, apprising him of the certainty of Indian hostilities in the next spring, and advising every possible preparation to be made in anticipation thereof. In pursuance of the recommendations of this letter, a 'council of war' was held at Catfish Camp, now Washington, on the 28th and 29th of January, 1777. This meeting was attended by the several county lieutenants and field-officers of the three counties [of the District of West Augusta, to wit, Ohio County, Monongalia County, and Yohogania County], and by thirty-two captains of the militia [from those three counties]."[20]

The field-officers included Colonel Silas Hedges, husband of Margaret Hoagland. The thirty-two captains of the militia from the three counties included "Henry Hogland" and "John Hogland." "At a Council of War held at Catfish Camp in the District of West Augusta the 28th day of January, Anno Domini 1777. Present, Dorsey Pentacost, Co'y Lieut. . . . Silas Hedge, Colo., David McClure, Lieut.-Colo. . . . Captains: . . . Henry Hogland. . . . John Hogland."[21]

The Council of War passed many resolutions in response to the recommendation "to prepair for Hostilities in the Spring, and to prepair to make Defense while we have time." The original document included, but Mr. Crumrine did not transcribe, plans "to Rendezvous at the following places and in the following Manner." These plans mention "the active officers, the places of Rendezvous in each County, . . . , the drafts and who heads them from each company, which is 15 Privates, one Sarjt. And a Commissioned officer, making in the whole about 1100 men."[22]

RECORD OF DEATH. Curt Sytsma notes: We do not have reliable information on when, where, and how Capt. Henry Hoagland died, and he is easily confused with nephews named Henry.[24]

Col. Josiah Harmer; this report and the April 6 letter were forwarded by Lt. Col. Harmer to Richard Merry Lee, President of the Continental Congress, on May 1, 1785.
