Son of Stephen Hoag and Anna Hunt. In 1773 Jonathan relocated from the Oblong in Dutchess County to Washington County. He brought along his seven year old nephew, Elisha Hoag Jr., as the boy's father had died before he was born.

Jonathan was a devout Quaker and married Sarah Hall in 1780, which was documented in the Quaker records, showing 42 witnesses! Jonathan took-up land near his father-in-law's home in South Easton and built a log cabin a mile south of Beadle Hill Village. (Information from Jane Welling's book; "They Were Here Too")

Jonathan and Sarah had eight children:
Marvel Hoag Buel 1781 – 1851
Abraham Hoag 1783 – 1852
Isaac Hoag 1784 – 1859
Jacob Hoag 1787 – 1850
Anna Hoag Haviland 1789 – 1831
Comfort Hoag Devoll 1792 – 1866
Robert Nesbit Hoag 1795 – 1877
Ira Hoag 1798 – 1873

It is strongly presumed that Jonathan and Sarah are buried in this Friends Burial Ground as they were instrumental in its beginnings. Gravestone markers were thought a vanity to Quakers, so no markers are found among the earlier Quaker members here. (Writer is Jonathan & Sarah Hoag's third great granddaughter.)
