Owner's Description

This note was issued on February 8th, 1813 in the amount of $20 and was cashed by David Hogg (I found the history of David Hogg which really makes this a cool find. Read Here)
Birth: 1781
Pennsylvania, USA
Death: Aug., 1854
Cartwright (Smith County)Smith County
Tennessee, USA
The following information is taken from the book Descendants of Michael Hogg by Marguerite A. Tibbetts revised 2002. David was born 1781 in Pennsylvania according to the 1850 census. He moved to Smith County, Tennessee as early as 1818 according to land records and appears on the 1820 Smith County census. His land lay north and east of the Cam Fork river. This area was north and slightly east of Carthage, Tennessee. There is an area there called Hoggtown and a creek called Hoggtown branch. A cemetery is there called the Hogg Cemetery, but only a few markers remain. This cemetery lies on a hill above the lake formed by the Cordell Hull dam on the Cumberland River. David, his brother Harvey, and later his son Leonidas David were evidently merchants in Carthage. David was also the postmaster at Mulberry Grove (which no longer exists) in 1824. David married Nancy (Gillespie?) b. 1787 in Virginia, sometime around 1808. David's will was dated 1 January 1849 and was admitted to probate in the 1854 August/September and December terms.
