  Alt. Marriage	1809  [2, 3, 18, 19]
  	General James Hoge, who was a son of a Howe, married Eleanor Howe, who was a daughter of a Howe. Both parties to this marriage, therefore, had the same grandfather, Joseph Howe. General Hoge was the nephew of his wife's father and Eleanor Howe was the niece of her husband's mother. Thus were they first cousins and thus did their descendants become more Howe than Hoge. And, to this consanguinity may possibly be attributed the strong family resemblance and characteristics which with uncanny consistency mark all of the descendants of General James Hoge. It is generally observed that all of the Hoges bear some resemblance one to another. But, among those of the Southwest Virginia branch, only casual observation reveals a likeness in physique and in traits that is striking in its identification. The Family of Hoge – 1927

• Notes

  The temptation is very great to use more space in writing of this man than can be allotted to any one individual in a genealogical record. I would love to write pages about him. He was my greatest benefactor and one who was more than a father. He was full six feet, two inches, tall, weighing two hundred and twenty pounds, erect, and in all respect proportioned; smooth shaven, full face, with piercing, though merry black eyes, and heavy brows. His dress was tailor made and ever spotlessly neat. In brief, he was magnificent in appearance, and this was universally acknowledged. Around him on public occasions would gather groups of admiring friends to see him and hear him talk. He was easily a leader among men. On all occasions he rode the finest horses and dressed in the most splendid uniforms. He was commissioned Brigadier General of the Nineteenth Brigade of Virginia Militia State Troops, as they were then called, on the 19th of February, 1831. His commission was signed by Governor John Floyd. His previous military commissions as colonel, lieutenant colonel, major and captain, were dated respectively, May 17, 1823, June 26, 1819, May 5, 1815, and March 21, 1807, and signed in above order by Governors Pleasants, Preston, Nicolas, and Cabell. He was ordered to take the greater part of his own company and details from all other companies of his regiment, the seventy-fifth Virginia, numbering one hundred and forty-seven men, and go to Norfolk in the War of 1812. He commanded at Crany Island. On account of a fearful fever which broke out in camp, he and more than half of his men were prostrated and many of the men died. He was twice a representative in the House of Delegates from Montgomery County, Virginia, and once served his district in the State Senate. He was Democratic elector on four presidential tickets, 1825, 1837, 1841, and 1845. See Congressional Dictionary. His father's small farm promised limited division among the eleven children, so he bought the interests of all the others, and from this beginning he made a large fortune, not less than a quarter of a million, which was wonderful, considering the times and conditions of the country. He build the house near his father's old dwelling, Belle Hampton, in 1826 and 1827. I added to it in 1873. The Family of Hoge – 1927
