General Notes: Husband - James H. Fogg

---

The founder of this family in America was Samuel Fogg, who came from Exeter, England, in 1630, and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. James Fogg, a descendant of Samuel Fogg, was born in Scarboro, Maine, in 1771. James Fogg, son of James Fogg, was born in Saco, Maine, May 10, 1799. He married Elizabeth Bradbury, and had children, among them being a son, James H. Fogg.

Samuel Fogg is the American ancestor of early Colonial Foggs and of all of the name claiming early New England lineage. The exact date of his coming to Massachusetts is not known, but he came from England and was granted land in Hampton, New Hampshire, at a very early period. In 1658, when a second division was made, it was found that he was then holding land and this presumes that he was one of the original proprietors. Later he purchased the house of Christopher Hussey, and in 1669 drew Lot No. 60, comprising two hundred acres, which indicates that he was the owner of two or more shares in the common rights. This farm of two hundred acres was never conveyed by deed, but was passed down from father to son by inheritance, and was never been out of the family into the twentieth century. He married (first) December 12, 1652, Ann, daughter of Roger Shaw, who first settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was in attendance at the General Court in 1636, held other offices, and in 1648 moved to Hampton, New Hampshire, his name appearing as one of the petitioners for the incorporation of that town. Roger Shaw became very prominent in Hampton, serving as deputy to the General Court and selectman. Ann (Shaw) Fogg died December 9, 1663, the mother of five sons: Samuel, Joseph, John, Daniel and Henry. Samuel Fogg married (second) December 28, 1665, Mary, daughter of Richard Page. He died April 16, 1672.
The line of descent from Samuel Fogg, the founder, to James H. Fogg, is through the fourth son, Daniel Fogg, who moved to Scarboro, Maine, later to Eliot, then Kittery, Maine. He became an extensive landowner, and to his youngest son James bequeathed "all my estate, real and personal, whatsoever and wheresoever." His farm in Eliot was on the Piscataqua river and this he gave to James in 1726. Daniel Fogg was a man of importance in his community until his death in 1755. He married Hannah, daughter of John Libbey, of Scarboro, Maine, about 1684.
The line from Daniel and Hannah Fogg is through James Fogg, their youngest son, born in Eliot, Maine, March 17, 1703, died December 24, 1787. He married Elizabeth Fernald, and lived in Eliot on the farm given him in 1726 by his father.
From James (1) Fogg the line follows through his son, James (2) Fogg, born about 1740; his son, James (3) Fogg, born 1770; was a farmer of Scarboro, Maine. His son, James (4) Fogg, and wife, Hannah (Bradbury) Fogg; their son, James H. Fogg.
James (4) Fogg, born about 1800, died in 1870-71, was a farmer of Saco, Maine, a member of the Congregational church, and a man of substance. He married (first) Hannah Bradbury, of Maine, and had children: Hannah, James H., and Charles Fogg. He married (second) Mary Goddard, and had a son, Edward R., who was living on the old homestead in Saco, Maine, in 1918.

He was educated in the public schools and Westbrook Academy, and most of his mature years was engaged in stock dealing, farming and the real estate business in Saco, Biddeford and vicinity. In his later years he was a lumber merchant. He was a Republican in politics, a member and a trustee of the Congregational church, and a Knight of Pythias.
