This is our list of the X most wanted new members. Although any candidate with the surname Hogg, or any variation of Hogg, or who for any reason thinks that he might be the paternal descendant of a Hogg is welcome to join the project, these candidates are identified by us as particularly desireable because they might answer a specific question. The number X will vary from time to time. 1. a descendant of line VA1744. This is an important Virginia line for which we need a baseline reference that other members can be compared with. It is possible that this line might be connected to line NJ1682 or line VA1657 and there are several other later Virginia lines that might connect to this line. 2. a descendent of line UK1698. This is the line of James Hogg, The Ettrick Shepherd. 3. descendants of William Hoge, b.1660, Musselburgh, Scotland through two of his sons other than William Jr. This data, in combination with the data from the descendants of his son William Jr., which we have already, will establish the haplotype of the senior William. 4. descendants of line VA1745 through Capt. Peter Hogg and his brother James. This data, in combination with the data from Peter's brother Thomas, which we have, will establish the haplotype of the father of these three brothers, who is thought to be James Hogg of Edinburgh. 5. descendants of Richard Hogg Sr. b.ca.1717, Gloucester Co. VA through his son Richard Jr. This data, will prove that Richard Jr. was a son of Richard Sr., line VA1656 and not from line VA1657 or line VA1658.
