Genealogical sources list Benjamin's birth as either 23 Oct 1810 or 23 Nov 1810 but his marker reads "Born Oct. 22, 1810."
Benjamin F Hoag, youngest son & one of the nine children born to Charles H Hoag, son of John Hoag, Jr. (John, Benjamin, John, Jr., John) & his wife Mercy Tripp (both of Connecticut) and Betsey Denton, daughter of James Denton & Deborah née unknown. His parents were married on 21 November 1793 in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., NY and first lived in Washington, Dutchess Co., NY where Charles was the principal of the Nine Partners boarding school.
In 1798 their family moved to a farm located between Pine Plains and North East (now known as "Bethel" though today it barely registers on a map), both in Dutchess County, and in 1800 Charles took over the post of town clerk for North East for a year, served on the board of excise & was a trustee for the school district for 30 years, also serving as commissioner of schools. He was of the Quaker faith, a prominent member of the Society of Friends, and hosted Meetings in their house from about 1803. A small church, known as the Quaker Meeting Hall (Bethel), was erected on their property with construction completed in 1807. Charles was a fierce advocate for education and in 1812 opened a boarding school in their house for both boys and girls as well as day students. The school was expanded with an addition to the main house for boys & a separate building for girls. (Note: a wealth of online information can be found regarding Charles Hoag: see below).
And such were the circumstances of the Hoag family.. Blessed with a good education & upon reaching maturity, Benjamin married Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of Daniel Lewis & Ruth Mabbett, about 1830, with whom he had three sons: John P, James & Charles. In 1840 their family was residing south of Pine Plains in Stanford, Dutchess Co., NY as was Benjamin's brother Ezra. By 1850 Benjamin & Elizabeth, with their three sons, had moved to Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY and the 1855 census for the same also includes Benjamin's youngest sister Mary, never married, who was a noted teacher.
In the late 1850's the family ventured west, settling on a farm near St Charles, IL. All three sons served for the Union during the Civil War and the two youngest married. See his wife's link for info on their children.
He was married to Betsey Ann Puffer Hunnicutt, ca Jun 1858.
