Unfortunately no joy.
[Hint: To make the visual searching more manageable, restrict the Article Type to Family Notices. ]

Quite a few articles came up from using "glebe, ahoghill" for the keywords only, no surname.

One reference was to a Dr. HOGG who was a Rector at Randalstown ...

PRONI's Guide to Church Records (P.58) lists the burials at CoI Ahoghill as covering 1821-1952.

Worth a visit to PRONI to check, seeing as you are in the area?
You might find some earlier ancestors!
[Caveat: CoI burial registers may not always include internments of Dissenters.]

While at PRONI, you could get a copy of:
"Administration of the estate of James Hogg late of The Glebe Ahoghill County Antrim Farmer who died 10 March 1902 granted at Belfast to Mary Hogg the Widow.  Effects £175 15s"

None of PRONI's holdings of newspapers on microfilm seem to cover the relevant period.

"Administration of the estate of James Hogg late of The Glebe Ahoghill County Antrim Farmer who died 10 March 1902 granted at Belfast to Mary Hogg the Widow.  Effects £175 15s"

Administration means there was no Will so what PRONI will have is the administration paperwork- sometimes very little information on a form or two and at other times lots more detail

Hi, this is an amazing coincidence. My family and I are currently in Ahoghill with my father in law Mr HOGG. We have just visited the HOGG grave at the church and the Glebe fields. Hugh had other siblings, one being John Hogg who is the great grandfather of my father in law. We have employed the services of a company that specialises in ancestry for the TV program "who do you think you are" ! I googled James Hogg & Ahoghill and found your post on rootschat. It would be amazing to know more about Hugh's descendants in the USA. We live in the U.K. - John Hogg, Hugh's brother migrated to Liverpool and, as aforementioned is the great grandfather of my father in law.
