Down / Re: Hayes of Ballymacreely, Killinchy and Dunmurry
« on: Monday 05 April 21 02:21 BST (UK) »I have found a mention on Ros Davies site that James HOGG died 1816 aged 62y ( b abt 1854) and his wife Susannah HAY died 1808 aged 46y ( b abt 1762) both of Ballymacreely, and buried Killinchy First Presbyterian Church.
I believe these are my ancestors who may have had a son Jacob HOGG and a son, James HOGG. If I am on the right track, Jacob HOGG was a baker in Ballynahinch. William BARR of Ballynahinch left 40 quid to Jacob's daughter ' Sally' in his 1809 Will. I found 2 daughters for sure:
Sarah, b abt 1807 who married John HARPER ( I have 2 DNA matches to this line) ( she died New Cumnock, Ayrshire, have death cert which states Jacobs wife was Jane McCALLOW/McCALLA ), and
Eleanor HOGG who married, first, James NOUGHER/NOGHER/NOCHER who was murdered in 1850. Eleanor remarried James JOHNSTON 1856. I have found some children for her, and her Will
There may also have been a daughter, Deborah HOGG b abt 1803 who married William HARPER. She died 1896 in Clintnagooland. I have found a number of children for her.
There is probably a daughter Susannah HOGG as well as that name was a constant in many descendants family lines including my GGrandmother born in England 1856.
Another Deborah HOGG born about 1820 married Hugh McATEER ( I have many dna matches to this line on Chromosome 18). This Deborah may be the daughter of James HOGG, a weaver, possibly of Long Stone ( 1819 Directory).
I also have dna matches on chromosome 18 for Robert LENNOX and his wife who is shown as Anne HARE, born abt 1765 in Trees online, however I am wondering if the name might be HAY/HAYE/HAYES etc.
I would love to find more details on any of these folk. The LDS offices are closed due to covid, so I can't order any films.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Jo,
I'm also from Australia, and have the same HOGG/HARPER lines, descending from James HOGG and Susannah HAY. I'm from the Sarah HOGG m. John HARPER line, which has descendants spread throughout Scotland, England, most states in Australia (but mainly Tasmania), NZ, the US and Canada. The spread is shown by the listing of heirs to James Patterson HARPER, Sarah and John's unmarried son, who died intestate with a considerable fortune:

I have recently been DNA matched to three descendants in the line of Deborah HOGG who married William HARPER, - it is possible that this could be a HARPER match (or both HOGG and HARPER).
I have the Ancestry information on three branches of Deborah's line, but would love to hear about yours and the Eleanor HOGG branch, and am happy to share mine.
Thanks
Jenny
