Joseph Hoag was a Quaker in New York and Vermont area, who was best known for his Journal (pub 1860) and his "Vision" written in 1803 but published about thirty years later. The Journal opens a window into the lives of the Quaker people of Vermont in the early nineteenth century. The vision told of a Civil War in the United States. Hoag traveled widely and was a traditional Friend, opposed to the teachings of both Hicks and Gurney. Huldah, his wife, was also a minister of the Society of Friends and most of their ten children became ministers as well, or married ministers.
