Isaac Hoagland, son of Christopher (28) and Sarah Lucase Voorhis 1730-1813, was born in Griggstown, Somerset County, New Jersey in 1771, and was baptized 16 February 16, 1772 at the Reformed Church in Six Mile Run (Harlington), Somerset County, New Jersey. While he was a student in Rutgers College, New Brunswick, and only twenty years of age, he married Miss Margretta Machett, on the 19th January, 1792.
He then settled in Sussex County, and having studied medicine, received an appointment as surgeon's mate in the United States Army.
On 2 Jun 1796, he wrote to his wife from New Orleans [Louisiana Territory] that he had received the appointment of Surgeon's mate, and was then on his way to the Garrison in East Florida. Surgeon in the United States Army in 1796. Ordered to service in the garrison in East Florida, he died there two years after.

Margretta Machett was born in New Germantown, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, on October 27, 1776. Her father, John, was a French Huguenot, a man of considerable means and note. He married an Ogden. They occupied a large stone on the banks of the Raritan at New Brunswick. When General Washington was on his way to New York to be inaugurated President, as he passed through New Brunswick he stopped at the house of Machett, which was brilliantly illuminated with colored lights for the occasion. The house was in later years owned or occupied by Congressman Bishop.

It is said that the college authorities were so displeased at this marriage that Isaac left and went to Princeton, where he completed his course. He then removed to Sussex County, and remained there until the Spring of 1796. He probably, about this time, made application for a position in the army, as on June 2, 1796, he writes to his wife from New Orleans [Louisiana Territory] that he had received the appointment of Surgeon's mate, and was then on his way to the garrison in East Florida. He says: "I am to receive $36 per month and two rations. I shall be very saving, and in the course of two years I hope to return to my loved ones."
