"MEMOIRS OF GEORGIA", Historical and Biographical Sketches, by S. Emmett Lucas"

HAMILTON HOGAN, farmer, Whitesburg, Carroll Co., Ga., son of James and Elizabeth (Spraggins) Hogan, was born in Pendleton district, South Carolina, March 1, 1820. His paternal grandparents, William and Nancy (Dillard)Hogan were Virginian born; and Mr. Hogan was a soldier in the revolutionary army.

His maternal grandparent, Thomas Spraggins, was a native South Carolinian, and a soldier in the patriot army during the war for independence.

In 1824, Mr. Hogan's father came from South Carolina to Georgia, settled in Habersham county, and rented a farm with a cabin on it preparatory to bringing his family.

In 1825 he went for some needed articles, and to bring them he cut two poles to serve as shafts, and fastening the box containing his articles on one end, hitched his horse between the poles at the other end. He then put little five-year old Hamilton, the subject of this sketch, on his horse, and returned to Georgia, he walking all the way. This shows one of the methods by which the a "Empire State of the South" was peopled.

In 1832 his father moved to Coweta county and cleared a farm on which he ended his days. Mr. Hogan attended school in the old-time schoolhouse, and after he "graduated" he taught school himself five years, by which he earned his first money. He next engaged in farming, which has been his life pursuit, in which he has been successful, and acquired a competency.

In 1862, he enlisted in Company H, third Georgia battalion (Col. Stovall) and served one year, when his health failed and he was discharged. As soon as he recovered his health he re-enlisted, this time in Company H, of which he was made orderly sergeant, Sixty-sixth Georgia regiment (Col. Nesbit).

He was captured at Decatur, Ala., and after being held some time was paroled. While at home the conflict terminated, and he is now the proud possessor of two one-hundred-dollar bills paid him for his services. Although he was not wounded-during his service in the army, the numerous perforations in his clothes show how narrowly he escaped not only wounds but death. He was in the battle of Missionary Ridge, and the charge on Peachtree creek, and many other engagements.

In 1876 he was elected a representative from Carroll county to the general assembly, and was re-elected in 1878, but did not serve out the term. He is now serving his second year as county commissioner, and while serving as such he was largely instrumental in having erected the really elegant new courthouse, as good as any in the state, and, all things considered; one of the cheapest.

Mr. Hogan was married in 1846 to Miss Jane Watson -born in Carroll county-daughter of Tyre and Clarissa (Sockwell) Watson -Georgia born- by whom he has had nine children:

Helen, wife of J. T. Jones;

Elizabeth, wife of L. J. Jones;

Sarah J., wife of John A. Byers;

Ellen M., wife of N. C. Morris;

Fannie,

James T. and

Gus A., who are living; and

Louisa J.,. wife of Henry G. Jennings; and

Hepsie A., wife of John W. Duncan, deceased.

Mr. Hogan is one of the most substantial and influential citizens of Carroll county, and is held in the highest esteem by everybody. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and is a useful and exemplary member of the Methodist church.
