Anna White Hogan

by

Anna White was the wife of Albany area resident Jurrian Hogan. She probably was born during the 1750s. We seek defining information on her origins and path to Albany.

In October 1764, perhaps she was the "Anne Afternoon" [sic] who was left £50 in the will filed by her brother Albany merchant Joseph White. If so, her mother would have been Mary Tucker of Wilts County in Great Britain.

In November 1778, Anna married one "John Hogen" at the Albany Dutch church. By the end of the century, the marriage had produced at least nine children who were christened in Albany churches to Jurrian/George and Anna.

Anna's new husband (often called George) was an officer in the Rensselaerswyck militia both before and during the War.

By the end of the war, these Hogans had taken up residence on a large farm in Bethlehem. In 1790, their household was configured on the census for Watervliet.

George Hogan had passed on by 1799 when his Albany real property was the responsibility of his siblings.

At this point, we still seek defining information on the later life and passing of Anna White Hogan.
