1736- unknown
Okey Hoagland (44), son of Martinus (16), was born at Windsor, Middlesex (now Mercer) County, NJ, about the year 1736. He was a man of more than ordinary business ability. He was educated for the legal profession, but by reason of the breaking out of the war for Independence, he laid aside his profession and engaged heartily in the cause which fired every patriotic heart. He raised a company among his neighbors and was made their captain, joining the first regiment of Burlington County. On February 1, 1777, he was Second Major; March 15. 1777, he became First Major, and was promoted to Lieut.-Colonel April 18, 1778. He was some time Quartermaster of the Regiment. In the battle of Princeton his company was in the severest of the fight, and a large part of them were killed or wounded. He was among the latter, and was promoted to a Colonelcy as a reward for his brave and gallant service. "Okey Hoagland was the active spirit in the recovery of the New York property which formerly belonged to his great grandfather, as already noticed in the account of Christopher (28).
He was married twice, his first, wife being his cousin, Dinah Hoagland (35) [daughter of Christopher (14)]; the second was Eleanor (Geesie) Van Brunt. He had no children.
About 1802 he sold his property in New Jersey, and it is said that he removed to Michigan, but no further trace is found.
On May 1, 1700, four Van Brunts, Nicholas, Hendrick, Cornelius and Nicholas. Jr., deeded to Okey Hoagland 180 acres of land in Monmouth Co., N. J., which had been devised to them by will of Hendrick Van Brunt; and on March 11, 1802. Col. Okey Hoagland, of Shrewsbury township, Monmouth Co., sold it to Ezra Black, of Burlington Co. Record of Deeds, Monmouth Co., NJ.
