Joseph Hoagland was born July 23, 1754 in Amwell, Hunterdon Co., N.J. Around 1772, he married Hannah Carpenter, the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Carpenter. Joseph's brother Amos had married Ruth, Hannah's sister. As early as 1774, Joseph's name appears on the tax list for Muncy, Lycoming County (now Sullivan County), PA. By 1777, Joseph and his family had settled in Indian territory on the west side of Lycoming Creek. In fact, there is evidence that Joseph and family were in the area as early as 1774. What you see below is a copy of the 1774 survey showing Joseph Hoagland's property (Hogland's Improvement) above John Carpenter's land in the Muncy area of current Lycoming County, PA, then part of Northumberland County. Joseph and his family lived there before settling later in Shunk in Sullivan County, PA. A friend of Kathy Heilman who is curator of the Muncy Historical Society was able to purchase the original survey at auction for her. She made a copy and gave the original to the Society where it is currently located.

Bio included data from Exlibris Rosetta, History and Genealogy of the Hoagland family in America, p.188

Records from the Friends Meeting house in Muncy list her birth date as "Second Month" 14th day, 1750, probably indicating that she was born in April, as the Quakers changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1752.https://www.swarthmore.edu/friends-historical-library/quaker-calendar The Quaker Calendar
