General Hogun's Family


Tuscumbia, Colbert County, Alabama, Map ca 1908 (LOC)
(There are Hogans on the plat map)

From the Magazine of American History....

"In October, 1792, the United States paid...five thousand two hundred and fifty dollars, being the seven years' half-pay voted by congress to the heirs of brigadier-generals who had died in service."

"In 1814 [General James Hogun's son] Lemuel Hogun died, and is probably buried at the family burial ground. General Hogun resided in *Halifax county, North Carolina, about one mile from the present village of Hobgood. In 1818 the widow of Lemuel Hogun, with her children, moved to Tuscumbia, Alabama. Numerous descendants are to be found in that state, and in Tennessee and Mississippi."
