William Hogan, born in 1750 came from Virginia to Clay County, Willis Bottom, Tennessee, about the end of the Revolutionary War. This is on the Obey River, now under Dale Hollow Lake.

William Hogan was born in 1750. He passed away in 1827.

"I have the source for the "Indian Woman" legend. It came from the 'Sam Smith Papers,' library, Burksville, Cumberland Co, KY. I don't know where Mr. Smith got his info, but this is what he wrote: "William Hogan (b. 1740, left VA soon after Revol. War), came from VA to what is now Clay Co, TN. He left his Indian wife in VA, but borught his sons, Daniel b. 1765 and William b. 1775 with him. William married again - to Jennie Rogers. They had a large family. Father William and his family with his son Daniel left, went north and west. Only son William remained, m. Mary Spear and had children in KY and TN."

"... the only Jennie Rogers I have seen was married to a James Hogan; he and Jennie's brother Joseph founded the town of Rogersville in Hawkins Co, TN (I think that's the right county). I have a note somewhere that says James later divorced Jennie, but Jan says he died and left her a widow. Whatever. Point is, only James m. a Jennie Rogers."^[1]
