I am looking for the parents of Elizabeth Frazier who married
William Henry Harrison Hoggatt on 10/31/1834 (or maybe 1/2/1835) at
Randolph Co., IN. Their children were Isaiah, Sarah Ann, Lurana,
Jeremiah, Mary and Henry. William's family was Quaker, previously from
Guilford, NC where William was born on 10/19/1812. According to
obituary, he moved with his family to Randolph Co. when he was 12.
Elizabeth was born about 10/26/1816 in Indiana.
In 1836, William and Elizabeth moved to Iowa where they settled in
Salem, Henry County. Both Elizabeth and William are buried in South
Salem Cemetery.
I have quite a bit of information about William's family, but
nothing about Elizabeth's family. In various census, William is also
known as Harrison and W.H.H. Hoggatt, and also as Hockett. If anyone
has any information about Elizabeth., please contact me.
-------------------------------------------------
Gloria....the spellings of HOGGATT and HOCKETT...are just two
of the variant spellings of HOGGARD, HAGGART and HAGGARD.
These variants are due to the depth of the brogue spoken
by those who were trying to identify themselves to the many
Court Clerks, Ships Captain, etc.
The thicker the brogue...the worse the phonetic sound
that was converted to printed form. So many variants. *S*
I do happen to have a rather extensive file on this surname,
as I am a HAGGARD/HOGGART descendant, of the Southern lines.
BUT...I do have some of the Northern lines in my files too
and your spelling variants jogged my memory a bit. *S*
When I get a chance I'll look to see what I might have for you.
If you'd like to take this off-list...email me. *S*
