Biography

Daniel was a Friend (Quaker)

Daniel is called David in his original birth record. This would be a mistake. The child listed right after him is also named David, so it would be easy to see how the mix-up happened. Two transcriptions also list him as Daniel instead of David.

The birth record says he was born in 1720. However, later changes to the calendar may have changed it to 1721. This needs further investigation.

Born: 24 February1 720.[1]

Parents: Benjamin and Esther Hoag. Daniel's mother's name looks both like Esther and Easter.[1]

Married: 12 November 1743, Susanna Jones, daughter of John and Susanna Jones in Amesbury.[2]

Children

Children of Daniel Hoag & Susanna:[3]
  • John Hoag b. 20 of 8m, 1744.
  • Thaodate Hoag b. 30 of 6m, 1747.
  • Ezekial Hoag b. 10 of 11m, 1749.
  • Mary Hoag b. 18 of 5m, 1752.
  • Hiriam Hoag b. 24 of 11m, 1755.
  • Rhoda Hoag b. 12 of 8m, 1758.

Notes

  • Quaker Calendar - There has been much confusion over the dates in Quaker records. Friends used numbered months and days rather than what they considered pagan names for them (i.e. "Thursday" coming from "Thor's Day"). Thus, when the secular calendar was changed in 1752, making January the first month instead of March, Friends began calling January "First Month".

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Daniel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Daniel:

Hoag-788 and Hoag-8 appear to represent the same person because: Same children & wife. Family moved from MA to dutchess county, NY

Further investigation shows that David probably didn't exist. David is listed as the child in the birth record, followed by another David (obviously the writer got David-happy). Two transcriptions and a marriage record indicate his actual name was Daniel, not David. It's always possible they were twins and only one was originally written down. But David appears nowhere else. Therefore I requested a merge.

Hoag-641 and Hoag-8 appear to represent the same person because: The two are the same. A mistake was made: Daniel was called David in his original birth record. Later transcriptions and a marriage record show his name should have been written as Daniel. Thus the accidental 2 profiles for 1 person.

Thank you Bertram! I will try to locate both baptism records and adjust my records accordingly.

Actually, according to the Family Search records, they would have been twins. The two baptism records clearly mark one named Daniel and the other David, born on the same day.

I believe Hoag-641 & Hoag-8 are the same person. It's possible that David Hoag was transcribed incorrectly.

First name should be 'Daniel'.
