The Humes were from Paisley Scotland. The father was a knight and a Baron. Both mother and father died during the voyage to America, leaving their daughter in charge of young William Hoge, who placed her with relatives, the Johnsons, in New York City, while he decided to make his home in Perth Amboy, New Jersey on land owned by a Scotch company, at the head of which was Gov. Berkley, and of which he was a member.
