James Wesley was the second child, first born son of James W. Hogg, Jr. and Dicy (Frazier) Hogg. James and Dicy were both born in the Letcher County, Kentucky area and were first cousins once removed. Dicy, like her mother and sister, did not read or write which was not unusual among people in this community. James Wesley's father was a farmer like almost everyone else in the newly formed Letcher County in eastern Kentucky. James Wesley's father owned slaves, some as young as James Wesley himself. In 1850 the slaves included a 6 year old mulatto girl, black females age 1, 7, 32, 40 and 60, as well as black males age 10, 12, 13, 15 and 36.
James Wesley's mother had had 14 children between the time she was 18 and 43. In 1873 at the age of 46 she died and James Wesley's father remarried in 1882. His new wife was 35 years old, 1 year older than James Wesley.
In 1865, James Wesley Hogg married his second cousin, Maletha Hogg. Although Maletha and James Wesley were from the same extended family their immediate families' experiences seemed quite different. His father was a slave owning farmer and the family had less education while hers was civically active and business-minded.
Maletha and James Wesley had eight children between 1864 and 1886. In birth order they were George, Mary, Martha, Green, Benton, Jessie, Ralph and Fred. Between 1880 and 1883 James Wesley, Maletha and all their children moved to Nebraska. They lived in Jefferson County for a while and some of the children were married there and nearby Richardson County. Before 1900 James Wesley and part of the family were living 100 miles to the north in South Omaha where James was a carpenter.
In 1929, at the age of 82, James Wesley died of myocardial degeneration (loss of function of the heart muscle) contributed to by renal disease.
