The town of Hogestown:
This village is situated on a small stream known as "Hoge's Run", which rises at the Stony Ridge, and empties into the Conodoquinet Creek at a beautiful grove called "Sporting Green." It was called after John Hoge, who owned all the land on which the town is built and a large tract surrounding. The old stone tavern was for years the only house, and was owned by the Hoge family. The first house built after that was a small log one near the old road, and was erected about 1820. The McCormicks and the Hoges had a stockade at a very early date. John Hogue (or Hoge) married Guintheleum Bowen (said to have been a descendant of the royal family of Wales), who, after her marriage, still retained and was known by her maiden name. It is stated that it was the money obtained from the sale of her jewels which purchased their lands.
(from the History of Cumberland and Adams Counties Pennsylvania, Chicago:Warner, Beers & Co., 1886)
NOTE: 1747 John & his wife gave the church the original pewter communion set.
(from "The Monuments and Graves of Silver Spring Presbyterian Cemetery" by the Hoge's burial record)
