General Notes: Husband - George Hogg
He was born in England, but when twenty years of age (in 1804) he came to Brownsville, Pennsylvania, at the request of his uncle, William Hogg, where he established his home, and as a merchant created a very large and lucrative business.
Though a great lover of his adopted country, he did not cease to be an Englishman, and always looked back with pleasure to the good old laws and institutions of his native land.
In April, 1843, he removed to Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and died there in the sixty-fifth year of his age, on the property and in the house which he had purchased in an unfinished state of Alexander Brackenridge, Esq., which he completed, and wherein he spent the remainder of his years.
Mr. Hogg was confirmed in his youth according to the usage of the Established Church of England, and through life was a consistent, devout and liberal member of that communion.
A monument to his memory, executed jointly by the sculptor Henry K. Brown, of New York city, and the sculptor 'Piatti', a lofty plinth, mounted by a life-size figure of the Angel of the Resurrection, was erected in 1851 by his family in Allegheny cemetery, in the city of Pittsburgh. Located near by is a cenotaph by Piatti, memorial of James B. Hogg, the son of George Hogg, who was lost on the ocean steamer Arctic.
During his business career he, with his uncle, William Hogg, of Brownsville, Pennsylvania, established large business-houses in Pittsburgh as Breading & Hogg, in wholesale dry goods, and Dalzell, Taylor & Co., in wholesale groceries, and fifteen different establishments of merchandise- and commission-houses in Ohio, together with a forwarding-house at Sandusky City, Ohio, with which was connected a number of vessels running on Lake Erie, and also a line of boats on the Ohio canal connected with their business houses at Newark, Ohio. Mr. Hogg, with the cooperation of others, aided materially in the building of the bridge over the Monongahela river at Brownsville and Bridgeport, and was one of the original stockholders and managers of the Monongahela Navigation company (slackwater), through whose enterprise the great body of the coal which was mined along the Monongahela river and exported found its way to the southern cities, New Orleans in particular. In 1828 he erected the Brownsville Glassworks, and supervised their operations for some years, ultimately disposing of them.
He was one of the original corporators establishing the Allegheny Cemetery company, and a director in the Bank of Pittsburgh, an institution in which his uncle, William Hogg, was one of the original movers, established in 1810-14.
He settled at Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in about 1804, and engaged in a general mercantile business, which he continued till 1843, when he moved to Allegheny City and lived there in retirement until his death. He was for many years one of the leading directors of the Monongahela Bank of Brownsville, and was warden of Christ's Episcopal church.
