Hi all
I am trying to find information on one John Hogg. He was buried on 11th August 1801 in Belford St Marys. I think he is the son of Andrew Hogg (c1695-1776) and Jean Penny, christened 12th September 1725 Parish of Holy Island. In Andrew's will of he left his son John the farm and implements at Budle, but there is no mention of any wife or children for John like there is for all his (Andrew's) other children and grandchildren that were still alive. I have John (of Belford)'s will. He designates himself "John Hogg of Craggy Hall". He mentions two sons, William and John. I assume William is the elder as he gets most of the estate. He also mentions his "faithful servant Hannah Dixon". I have found a William Hogg or Dixon, father John Hogg mother Hannah Dixon christened 6 May 1772 Tweedmouth. But not sure if that would be close enough to either Budle or Craggy Hall? And can't find a John christened with the same parents. And if this is John's son, why was he not mentioned in father Andrew's will like all the other grandchildren?
So did John have 2 children with Hannah but not marry? And is John who died in Belford the same as John who was baptised on Holy Island?
One more bit to the puzzle - both John and presumed father Andrew (who died 1776) have a William Watson as their executor.
Any help appreciated
cheers Barbara
