William Hogg, "sometimes spelt Hodge," purchased with his brother James in 1832 several lots of property totaling about 300 acres from Phillip, Francis and Lawrence Kearney, for $3,000 (SomCoD: Q:1]. In the mid-1830s, Augustus Camman, Gold Hoyt and the Kearneys purchased from William and his brother James additional land and mineral rights on the mountain because of the copper deposits found there.
For five years prior to his death, William was totally blind. "He was a Democrat in politics, though no office seeker; was a liberal contributor to the various benevolent and philanthropic enterprises of his day, of good character, and a member of the Presbyterian Church of Bound Brook [Snell, James P. comp. History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey, Phila 1881 698]."
