My Genealogy Hound

Below is a family biography from the book, History of Kentucky, Edition 7 by J. H. Battle, W. H. Perrin and G. C. Kniffin and published by F. A. Battey Publishing Company in 1887.  These biographies are valuable for genealogy research in discovering missing ancestors or filling in the details of a family tree. Family biographies often include far more information than can be found in a census record or obituary.  Details will vary with each biography but will often include the date and place of birth, parent names including mothers' maiden name, name of wife including maiden name, her parents' names, name of children (including spouses if married), former places of residence, occupation details, military service, church and social organization affiliations, and more.  There are often ancestry details included that cannot be found in any other type of genealogical record.

He was a son of James Hogan, who was born in Virginia. Mrs. Sallie (Kendall) Hogan was born in Harrison County, Ky., and was a daughter of Lewis and Phebe (Nelson) Kendall. E. Hogan was educated at Harrodsburg and Georgetown, Ky. He has always been a great horse man, and is one of the best judges of horses in Kentucky. He was in the livery business in Williamstown for several years and was very successful. He now has a fine farm of 410 acres between Williamstown and Dry Ridge which is called the Hogan Grove Stock Farm. He makes a specialty of raising fine horses generally. He was married, December 18, 1867, to Rose Collins, of Grant County, Ky., a daughter of James N. and Cordelia (Carslinea) Collins. Four children have blessed this union, and of these, two are living: Collins K. and Charles R. Mrs. Hogan is a strict member of the Christian Church, and her father was a thirty-second degree Mason.
