Source notes

James Irvin Hogue is listed in much of the Hogue/Hogg research as James J. Hoge (The Wimer Family, by Paul W. Myers; Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 23 #2, Fall 1996, etc.) James I. Hoge appears in the 1860 census, Brady Twp., Butler Co. PA, and the script does appear to read as James J. Hoge. However, "J" and "I" were often written identically at that time, and any present day researcher, reading the name without resort to other sources, would transcribe the initial as a "J".

John T. Wilson's research in the 1980's included interviews of his Wimer aunts. (Elizabeth Hogue, his great grandmother, was the wife of Samuel Wimer, Jr.) During the course of this research, he was told that Elizabeth Hogue's father's name was Irvin Hogue. (This verbal communication was transcribed by him as "Urvin" Hogue). Further clarification was found in a manuscript copy in the family history room of the Butler Library. Prepared by Dr. Egle for a second volume of his "Pennsylvania Genealogies", but not published before his death, it was compiled in 1921 by Leonard Lytle of Detroit Michingan, from the original manuscript, purchased from Miss Catherine I. Egle. In this manuscript, James Irwin Hogg is listed as the son of James Hogg and Mary Irvin. (The Irwin/Irvin spellings suggest that the name may have been spelled both ways but the "w" pronounced as "v").
