Page 142, REV. MOSES HOGE, D. D. 

Born in Virginia, February 15, 1752; in 1787 moved to the county of
Berkeley. He resided in this county for upwards of thirteen years,
and acquired great popularity as a minister throughout this section
of the State. In 1801, in consequence of the failing health of Mrs.
Hoge, he left the county of Berkeley for a more southern climate.
In 1807, he was appointed President of Hampden Sidney College. In
1810, as a testimonial of his great learning and eminence as a
minister, the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him
by the college of New Jersey. He possessed a mind of uncommon
vigor, capable at once of accurate discrimination and profound
research, and richly stored with scientific knowledge. He died on
the 5th of July, 1820, in the 69th year of his age.
