Stephen Hoag was the son of Jonathan Hoag (1671-1747) and Martha Goodwin (1688-1747) of Newbury, Massachusetts. Jonathan was the son of John Hoag who immigrated from England to Newbury. John Hoag (1643-1728) is notable as a town magistrate who refused to take part in the Witch Trials of the area. He was removed from his post as a result.

Stephen Hoag was born in Newbury, Massachusetts and married Anna Hunt in 1745 in Amesbury, Mass. They had nine children:
Elizabeth Hoag Hoag Arnold 1746 – 1837
Lydia Hoag Hoag 1748 – 1849
Stephen Hoag Jr. 1751 – 1817
Jonathan Hoag 1754 – 1817
Ruth Hoag Bowen 1756 – 1811
Abraham Hoag 1759 – 1818
Sylvanus Hoag 1760 –
Mary Hoag Deuel 1761 –
Rebecca Hoag Soule 1762 – 1844

After marrying, Stephen and Anna migrated from Massachusetts to the Oblong in Dutchess County, NY. According to Quaker records, in approximately 1778 they along with other Hoag relatives moved upstate to the White Creek area. (Side note: In 1778/9 the Oblong Meeting House was commandeered as a military hospital for the Continental Army of Gen. Washington.) Around this time many Friends moved north to Washington County New York.

It is presumed that Stephen and Anna Hunt Hoag are buried in the Friends Burial Ground at White Creek Washington County along with other relatives, as Quaker records indicate their participation in the fellowship here. Early burials here have no markers per Quaker custom, perhaps only a rock marked the grave. (Writer is Stephen and Anna Hoag's 4th Great Granddaughter)
