General Notes: Husband - Col. Henry Hoagland

---

He was a native of Holland. He first located in Virginia. He served in the Revolutionary War, and afterward settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1798 he came to Mercer County with his wife and family, and took up his residence on the west bank of the Shenango River, one mile north of the site of Sharon, where he resided until his death. He took a deep interest in the early militia, and was captain, major and colonel, successively, of a Mercer County regiment. He was also a sergeant in Captain Thomas McMillan's company, in the War of 1812, and assisted in getting the brig Niagara over the bar at Erie, in 1813. He reared four sons and five daughters. He was one of the organizers of the pioneer Baptist Church in his neighborhood.

A native of Holland, he was one of the first permanent settlers of Mercer County, Pennsylvania. He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary war, being in sympathy with the colonists, and afterward lived for a time in Virginia. From there he migrated to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and in 1797 took up his residence in Hickory Township, Mercer County, which was then a vast wilderness. He was one of the organizers of the first Baptist church established in the locality, and for a while served as colonel of the state militia. In Hickory Township, on the farm which he improved, he lived until his death, at a venerable age.

He reared four sons and five daughters; John and Richard are mentioned. [HMC 1888, 538] Richard is not mentioned in the list of his children, but four other boys names are given and only three girls names. [HMC 1888, 895] Another list [HMC 1888, 375] gives the names of five children and includes Richard.

Col. Henry Hoagland with his wife, Catherine, and five children, John, Samuel, Richard, Mary and Matilda, settled on the west side of the Shenango, about a mile above the town, in 1798. He came from Washington County. He was an active member of the Baptist Church, and was instrumental in establishing that denomination in Sharon. He participated in the War of 1812, assisting at Erie in lifting the brig "Niagara" over the bar in 1813.
