Foreword Genealogy research is at best a soft science. It is an effort to compile family anecdotal stories, census records, wills, obituaries, deeds and just about any piece of information available. There often sight variations in the various official records. In general speculation is documented as such. There is also considerable questions asked of family members who with patience have help fill in many of the blanks. And a special thanks to Kimm Oltman & Jack Oltman. Thank you! Anyway, enough of the fine print. Enjoy the read and please feel free to drop me a note to provide an update or a correction. You can e-mail at Murray@theOltmans.com 2

Descendants of William Hoge Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM 1 HOGE was born 1660 in Musselburgh, Scotland, and died Bet. 1745-1750. He married BARBARA HUME Abt. 1695. She was born 1670 in Paisley, Scotland. Notes for WILLIAM HOGE: The year was 1660 and Charles II had just become King of England ending many years of civil war. In that same year, William Hoge was born in Musselburgh, Scotland. Some time between i680 and 1682 William boarded a ship, probably headed for New York. Also aboard the ship were Barbara Hume who was born in 1670 in Paisley, Scotland, and her parents who died during the trip. William took charge of Barbara and left her with relatives in New York while he went on to establish himself in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Around 1695 he married Miss Hume and for a time lived in Perth Amboy. Accounts vary, but it is possible that William and Barbara moved from New Jersey to Penn's Lower Three Counties (Delaware). What is known is that the family relocated to Lancaster County Pennsylvania around 1729 and in 1735 the entire family except for their son John (b. 1699) moved to the Valley of Virginia (Kernstown), about three miles south of Winchester. William died between 1745 and 1750 leaving behind a large family with issue as follows: Joseph of Virginia, no further knowledge; Mary of Virginia, no further knowledge; George of North Carolina, attorney, judge of the Supreme Court; John of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, born in 1699; William of Winchester Virginia married a Quakeress; Margaret married Dr. Robert White; Alexander of Winchester, Virginia; attorney, member First Congress USA; James, first wife was Agnes ----, second wife was Nancy Griffith; descendants include President of Hampton College and Reverend Moses D.

He married MARTHA WALKER. Notes for DAVID HOGE: 9

David Hoge, born in 1735, married Martha Walker, and died December 5, 1804. David took a very active part in the revolution and was sheriff of Cumberland County. In 1769 he purchased three tracts of land in the Chartiers Valley which had belonged to the Hunter family, David, with the aid of his two sons William and John, founded the town of Washington, Pennsylvania. The town of Washington originally belonged to Sarbane Township, one of the thirteen original townships of the county, erected in July, 1781. On the 25th of September, 1785, the Court of Quatrer Sessions, upon a petition of the citizens requesting to be formed into a separate election district, endorsed the application, and the Supreme Executive Council confirmed the proceedings of the court on February 6, 1786. From its being originally a portion of Sarbane township, so many have been the changes that its present chartered boundaries are Canton and South Sarbane on the north, South Sarbane on the east, Franklin and South Sarbane on the south, Canton and Franklin on the west, being now entirely surrounded by new townships. The original name of the town was Bassett, which was laid out by David Hoge, Esq., of Cumberland County, the survey being made by David Reddick, Deputy Surveyor, and October 13, 1781. An other plot states that a true copy of the plan remains in the hands of John Lukens, Surveyor General, which was made November 4, 1784 by Edward Lynch, Deputy Surveyor. The second plot was made prior to the sale by David Hoge to his sons John and William. On October 18th, 1781 (five days after the town was laid out), David Hoge, Esq., the proprietor, conveyed to James Edgar, Hugh Scott, Van Swearington, Daniel Leet, and John Armstrong, as trustees of Washington County, a lot for a court house and prison in the town of Bassett, containing two hundred and forty feet square, being bounded by Monongahela (now Market) Street on the east, Ohio (now Beau) Street on the north, lot number 123 on the west, and Johnston's (now Cherry) Alley on the south. The name of the town was permanently changed to Washington on the 4th of November, 1784, the date at which the second plot was made, although we have the evidence of receipts for lots being given by the proprietor in October, 1781, both a s Bassettown and Washington, for in the deed of David Hoge to John and William Hoge, of November 7, 1785, it is stated that the said David conveys to his sons, John and William, a tract of land in Washington County, on the waters of Chartiers' Creek, and known by the name of Catfishes Camp, containing eight hundred acres, which was to include the town of Washington, excepting t he southwest forth of said town, which said David reserved for himself. Subsequently on the 10th of March, 1787, he also conveyed the remaining southwest forth of the town to his sons, John and William. The deed also mentions the fact of the name of the names of the streets being changed, based upon the second plot of 1784. The act of the General Assembly of March 28, 1781, directs the electors to meet at the house of David Hoge at the place called Catfishes Camp, to hold their elections and courts until a court house shall be built. To understand the Hoge purchase, we will state that there were three tracts of land originally surveyed and purchased by David Hoge, as follows; one from Martha 10

Hunter dated November 4, 1769, containing three hundred and thirty nine acres and sixty-nine perches, and called "Martha's Bottom." The second was purchased from Joseph Hunter, November 11, 1769, containing three hundred thirty one acres and twenty one perches, called "Grand Cairo." The third purchased from Abraham Hunter, surveyed November 11, 1769, containing three hundred thirty nine acres and twenty one perches, called "Catfishes Camp." Children of DAVID HOGE and MARTHA WALKER are: i. JOHN 4 HOGE, b. September 12, 1760, Carlisle, Pennsylvania; m. MARTHA RITTENHOUSE QUAYLE; b. 1762. Notes for JOHN HOGE: John was commissioned into Colonel William Irvine's Sixth Pennsylvania Battalion as a. lieutenant on February 6, 1776; captured by British and Indians at Three Rivers, Canada on June 8 (or July 9), 1776; exchanged May, 1779, at New York, after being held captive and finally adopted by an Indian named Goysutha; and member of the Council of Censors in 1783. As mentioned earlier he was one of the founders of Washington, Pa... John was one of the members of the Constitutional Convention of 1789-1790; chosen to the Senate in 1791, and again in 1794; and served Congress in 1804 and 1805. He was a Federalist. In 1781 he married Martha Rittenhouse Quayle (Quail) who was born in 1762 and was the daughter of Colonel William Quayle. Martha died in 1794 while John died between August 5, 1824 and May 10, 1834. Their issue follows. 1. Mary Jane; married Robert London of Salineville, Ohio. 2. James; born October 31, 1784 at Hogestown, Pa. and died on February 8, 1875 at Salineville, Ohio; was married in 1810 to Jane Gilmore, born April 6, 1791; and his second marriage to Nancy McPherson, May 10, 1816 - December 5, 1894, was in 1850. He had six children by the first marriage and two by his second. 3. William of Hogestown; no further knowledge. 4. Jonathan; no further knowledge. ii. WILLIAM HOGE, b. 1762, Carlisle, Pennsylvania; m. ISABELLA LYON. Notes for WILLIAM HOGE: William co-founded Washington, Pennsylvania with his brother John; was elected to Congress and served from 1801 to 18O3, but resigned in 1804 when his brother was elected to the vacancy and was again chosen in 18O6, serving from 18O7 to 1809. From 1798 to 1802 he filled the office of associate judge of the county. He married Isabella 11

Lyon, daughter of Samuel Lyon and Eleanor Blaine. iii. ELIZA HOGE. Notes for ELIZA HOGE: married Rev. Samuel Waugh and left issue iv. JONATHAN HOGE. Notes for JONATHAN HOGE: settled near Morgantown, West Virginia where he lived and died; married and had two children. Generation No. 4 5. DAVID 4 HOGE (JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) He married JANE SCOTT, daughter of THOMAS SCOTT. Notes for DAVID HOGE: lived in Washington, Pennsylvania for a while but moved to Steubenville, Ohio after being appointed agent for the United States Land Office; married Jane Scott, daughter of Thomas Scott and they had a large family. As noted under the Sarah Ann Hoge Adams entry, we speculate that David was George & Mordecai's father and that George was Sarah's father. Children of DAVID HOGE and JANE SCOTT are: 6. i. GEORGE 5 HOGE, d. September 11, 1872. ii. MORDECAI HOGE, b. 1784; d. 1870. Generation No. 5 6. GEORGE 5 HOGE (DAVID 4, JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) died September 11, 1872. He married REBECCA GRAHAM. She was born 1788, and died February 1868. Child of GEORGE HOGE and REBECCA GRAHAM is: 7. i. SARAH ANN 6 HOGE, b. Abt. 1817; d. July 06, 1885, Allegany City, PA. Generation No. 6 7. SARAH ANN 6 HOGE (GEORGE 5, DAVID 4, JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) was born Abt. 1817, and died July 06, 1885 in Allegany City, PA. She married JOSEPH ADAMS May 02, 1842 in Steubenville, OH, son of BENJAMIN ADAMS and JANE GALLIMORE. He was born October 03, 1819 in Parish of Gateshead, Durahan County, England. 12

Notes for SARAH ANN HOGE: Sarah Ann Hoge presents somewhat of a dilemma. While much is know about her, and to some degree her family, it is not yet clear exactly who her parents were. Other documentation clearly points to the Hoge family whose first American occupant was William Hoge. William Hoge was born about 1660 and came to the Americas between 1680 and 1682. For now, the assumption is that George Hoge and Rebecca were her parents. She joined the First Presbyterian Church of Steubenville, OH on 17 May 1835. The 1880 Census, of Allegheny, Allegheny, PA, notes a family unit as follows: " Sarah Adams, widow, age 60 (both parents born in PA) " Emma Hoge, female, age 68 " Rosa Adams, daughter, age 25 " Josephine Adams, daughter, age 23 " George Adams, son, age 20 We speculate that Emma is Evaline whose death was noted in the family bible (see below) and presumably Rosa is Rebecca Ann Adams. Although noted in the census as a widow, family lore has it that her husband eventually returned to England for reasons unknown. The following is a partial transcription from the Family pages of a bible owned by Rebecca Adams Oltman. It is assumed that the Hoge family members mentioned in the bible are related to Sarah Hoge Adams - Rebecca's mother. George Hoge died Wednesday morning September 11th, 1872 (blurred). (on a loose note card) George Hoge died on Wednesday, September the 11th, at 27 minutes of four o'clock in the morning and was interred on the 13th of September on Friday at -four o'clock. Sarah Hoge Adams, Monday morning July 6th/85 - age 68 years (in an attached newspaper article, under the heading - Died) Adams - At her late residence, rear of 36 Anderson Street, Allegheny City, PA. Monday morning, July 6th, 5:30 o'clock, Mrs. Sarah Hoge Adams, in the 68th year of her age. Funeral services will be held at the Second Presbyterian Church, corner of Penn and Seventh Streets, Wednesday, July 8th, at 2 o'clock p.m. Interment private. Mrs. Rebecca Hoge died Wednesday, half past 11 o'clock, 5th of February 1868. Aged 80. Mordecai Hoge, died March 25th, 1870. Aged 86. Methodist Graveyard, lifted May 9th 1871. Died October 28th 1875, Miss Lizzie Hoge on Thursday. Died Miss Rebecca Hoge, on Tuesday, November 2nd 1875. 13

Mifs Evaline Hoge, died Jan 31st on Saturday, 1885. Notes for JOSEPH ADAMS: It is not yet known when Joseph moved to the United States, it is thought Joseph was a doctor and eventually returned to England for reasons unknown. Joseph's family lived in Gateshead at least from 1812-1822 although probably longer than that. His father, who was a glass cutter, had lived in Staffsford County before moving to Durham County. It's quite possibly his mother also came from Staffsford County. There were many Gallimores in Staffsford at the time. Although we know that her father's name was John, we haven't obtained additional data on him yet. Married by Rev. Commings (or Comminga) of Stunebville, OH. Marriage Notes for SARAH HOGE and JOSEPH ADAMS: Married by Rev. Cummings More About JOSEPH ADAMS and SARAH HOGE: Marriage: May 02, 1842, Steubenville, OH Children of SARAH HOGE and JOSEPH ADAMS are: 8. i. BENJAMIN 7 ADAMS, b. May 18, 1843, Stubenville, Jefferson Co., OH. ii. JOHN HOGE ADAMS, b. June 11, 1846, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., PA; d. December; m. EMMA; b. PA. Notes for JOHN HOGE ADAMS: John Adams is remembered for his artistic talent. While walking down the streets of Berlin, MD one day, he came upon a group of black farm workers. He ended up capturing the scene in a mural he sketched onto a barn door. The 1880 Census, of Pittsburgh, Allegheny, PA, notes a family unit as follows: John Adams, husband, age 33 Emma Adams, wife, age 35 We speculate that John the son of Sarah Hoge Adams. The census notes that John was born in PA and his father in England. It also indicates John was a painter which we know. It indicates his mother was born in England, but this may simply be an error. iii. JOSEPH ANGELO ADAMS, b. July 15, 1849, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., PA; d. September 16, 1854, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., PA. 14

Notes for JOSEPH ANGELO ADAMS: Died Saturday morning, age 5 years and 2 months 9. iv. REBECCA ANN ADAMS, b. April 14, 1852, Pittsburg, PA; d. September 27, 1939, Pittsburg, PA. v. JOSEPHINE ADAMS, b. November 02, 1854, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., PA; d. May 1936, Berlin, MD. Notes for JOSEPHINE ADAMS: She joined the Second Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh on March 4th, 1881. Josephine often traveled with her sister Rebecca and was in Berlin, MD for much on the 1930s. She died in Berlin in May 1936 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Berlin, MD. More About JOSEPHINE ADAMS: Burial: 1936, Evergreen Cemetery in Berlin, MD vi. GEORGE WASHINGTON ADAMS, b. February 22, 1859, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., PA; d. August 13, 1938; m. SARAH J. CARSON, August 13, 1885, Allegany City, PA. Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON ADAMS: Married by Rev. Beacom. George Washington Adams often made the trip to rustic Berlin, Maryland from his home in Wildewood, NJ. George operated a lucrative business renting beach chairs and umbrellas. The city of Wildewood didn't realize how profitable the business was until they began taxing services like his, suddenly everyone wanted to go into beach furniture business. Marriage Notes for GEORGE ADAMS and SARAH CARSON: George and Sarah were married by Rev. Beacon More About GEORGE ADAMS and SARAH CARSON: Marriage: August 13, 1885, Allegany City, PA Generation No. 7 8. BENJAMIN 7 ADAMS (SARAH ANN 6 HOGE, GEORGE 5, DAVID 4, JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) was born May 18, 1843 in Stubenville, Jefferson Co., OH. He married MINNIE. She was born Abt. 1850 in PA. 15

Notes for BENJAMIN ADAMS: The 1880 Census, of District 120, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, PA, notes a family unit as follows: Benjamin Adams, husband, age 37 Minne Adams, wife, age 30 William Adams, son, age 16 John Adams, son, age 6 We speculate that Benjamin the son of Sarah Hoge Adams. The census notes that Benjamin was born in Ohio, his father in England and his mother in Ohio. It also indicates Benjamin he was a painter which we know his brother John was. Children of BENJAMIN ADAMS and MINNIE are: i. WILLIAM 8 ADAMS, b. Abt. 1864, PA. ii. JOHN ADAMS, b. Abt. 1884, PA. 9. REBECCA ANN 7 ADAMS (SARAH ANN 6 HOGE, GEORGE 5, DAVID 4, JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) was born April 14, 1852 in Pittsburg, PA, and died September 27, 1939 in Pittsburg, PA. She married JOHN DAVID OLTMAN March 11, 1887, son of JURGEN OLTMAN and LUCIA SCHLUTERN. He was born March 01, 1837 in Brooklyn, NY, and died August 05, 1909 in Pittsburg, PA. Notes for REBECCA ANN ADAMS: She joined the Second Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh on 4 March 1870. Rebecca stayed at the Berlin property after her husband's death, at least until 1913, perhaps longer. Rebecca was occasionally visited in Berlin by her brothers - George and John. Rebecca eventually returned to Pittsburgh where she continued to manage the family's real estate holdings. She often made the trip to Berlin to visit and was usually accompanied by her sister Josephine. Her son, Murray eventually bought the Berlin property and made it his permanent home. Rebecca died in 1939 and is buried at Union Dale Cemetery in Pittsburgh next to her husband. More About REBECCA ANN ADAMS: Burial: Union Dale Cemetery, Pittsburg, PA Notes for JOHN DAVID OLTMAN: He was raised by Matilda, his older sister. Matilda, we think, was married to a Doctor Stuttmeister. In a book owned by Rebecca Adams Oltman, there was a newspaper clipping of her death. We have not been able to locate the article at this time. John sold papers on street corners and even rattled bones for extra money. He often had 16

to fight to keep the good locations. We think he fought in the Indian Wars and with William Walker in Central America. Family stories have it that he was out west somewhere, perhaps California, when he joined the last Walker expedition to Honduras. He barely escaped with his life and was able to get on a boat which took him to southern Florida. Appendix F is the final chapter of a book by James Jamison, a fellow filibuster who also fought with Walker. The last Walker expedition was in 1860, and it wasn't long afterwards that the Civil War broke out. He must have been somewhere in Pennsylvania at the time since he enlisted on 8/31/1864 for a period on one year in the C Company, 5th Regular Pennsylvania Voluntary Heavy Artillery. His enlistment papers note that he was 5'6" and 119 pounds. He was wounded in the battle of Cold Springs (?) in Tennessee. He probably re-enlisted since at that time, the period the duration of service would have been for a few years only - not the duration. He was married twice. By his first wife, wife Ann Margaret Murray, he had six sons and one daughter, several we believe were glassblowers. As we understand it, only one of his sons, Walter Oltman, lived beyond young adulthood. Walter was in his 80s when he died in 1941. John's first marriage must have been prior to the Civil War since their oldest son, Andrew, was ~22 years old in 1880. The 1880 census has them living in the 4th ward, District 1, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Margaret's two sisters, Jane Murray and A. Murray were living with them at the time. At the time of his second marriage to Rebecca Adams, he was listed as being from Allegheny City, Pa. and Rebecca from Pittsburgh. They were married at Chartiers, PA. Some of the many places John lived during his lifetime include: Brooklyn, NY; Pleasantville, NJ; Chartiers, Allegheny City, and Pittsburgh, PA and Berlin, MD. John bought a farm in Berlin, MD for about $1,800 from a man he had met on a train - the grandfather of the Abbotts (across the street). The deed was recorded on 21 September 1908 and ownership was transferred from Anna J. Godfrey. This farm was part of the property which was once known as Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant was one of the original four tracts which encompassed Berlin and was patented to John Emmoll on 10 May 1688. By 1768, Henry Godfrey, who owned a great deal of the northern section of this tract built Engleside, the house which still sits across the road from the Oltman farm. The family moved to the Berlin home around this time and stayed there at least occasionally, until John's death. He often visited Ocean City and with little prompting, would play the fiddle for some of his new friends. John died in 1910 of cancer of the gall bladder or liver. He was buried at Pittsburgh. At the time of his death he had real estate holdings in Pittsburgh whose worth exceeded $50,000. An interesting side note, his namesake and great-grandson, John David Oltman was also born on March 1st. This was not realized until the 1980s. 17

John is Buried at Union Dale Cemetery, 2200 Brighton Road Pittsburgh, PA, which is just down the street from (what is now) Highwood Cemetery where his first wife and several of their children are buried. The Union Dale plot was bought at Rebecca's request by her brother George Adams at the time of her husband's death.

MURRAY 8 OLTMAN (REBECCA ANN 7 ADAMS, SARAH ANN 6 HOGE, GEORGE 5, DAVID 4, JONATHAN 3, JOHN 2, WILLIAM 1 ) was born June 13, 1890 in Sheridan, PA, and died June 23, 1971 in Salisbury, MD. He married JANE BAKER WISE April 26, 1913 in Philadelphia, PA, daughter of MARK WISE and GEORGIANA MARSHALL. She was born December 09, 1887 in Berlin. Md, and died August 12, 1980 in Salisbury, MD. Notes for MURRAY OLTMAN: He took a correspondence course in drafting when he was approximately 17 (perhaps from Pittsburgh Civil Engineering School) he then went on to Carnegie Tech for two years. He first came to Berlin, MD around 1908-9, presumably to see the farm his father had acquired. Murray later purchased the farm in Berlin from his mother and afterwards him and his wife, Jane Wise Oltman, moved there. He probably met Jane in church in Berlin. He was working at the Presteel Car Company in Philadelphia, PA (a division of Balwin Locomotive Co.) as a draftsman when they were married. The marriage was witnessed by Mary E. Wise and Rebecca Oltman. Jane probably got homesick and they returned to Berlin approximately six months after their marriage. By this time she was pregnant with a boy who was later stillborn. After arriving in Berlin, Murray tried farming for a while and then worked with a local plumber, Carson Baldwin. Eventually, in 1920, he went into the plumbing business for himself. Murray was visited at least once by the wife of one of his half brothers, Blanch Oltman, who lived in New Jersey. He also had relatives in New York whom he visited. 18

We aren't sure of who they were or how they were related. Murray recalled that father was at times a stern man and once or twice pinned Murray 's ears back for avoiding a fight. In his younger years he took violin lessons and worked in a machine shop. He delivered papers as his father had a large paper route. He was active in the community and the church. Joined the Stevenson Methodist Church on 1/21/1916 and was President of Epworth League 5/1919, on the Board of Trustees, Treasurer of the Church and a member of the Methodist Men. He was extremely well liked and respected by those who knew him. An avid musician, he sang in the church choir and played a variety of instruments in several of the local bands. In his later years he maintained an extensive rose and flower garden. Murray died on June 23, 1971 while in a Peninsula General Hospital and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Berlin, MD.
