Letter: Thanks for replies on Toll Gate House Larry sends thanks for everyone's help with Toll Gate information, and sends some information on his search, which we think might be helpful to others in the future. Larry's original question is here: Letter: Is the old Toll Gate House still standing? By Larry Mansfield I can't thank everyone enough for their replies. They answered a number of questions and the pictures are special. I visited Taylor and Adair Counties a few years ago to try to unravel the mystery of the toll gate. Since I had no idea what I was looking for I wasn't to disappointed when I found nothing. It was a nice drive from my home in Owensboro. In case you are interested, the family I am researching is Hogland (Hogeland, Hoagland), specifically Hardin Hogland who was born in Green County, KY in 1813 to Isaac Hogland and Miriam Hardin Hogland. The information I have is a note from a distant relative who has been dead for several years. Regarding Hardin Hogland it states: "bu. - Sublett Family Grave Yard - Near Green River & across the road from the Toll Gate which he operated. Toll Gate still standing in 1972." U.S. Census records indicate that in 1850 Hardin Hogland lived in Division 1, Taylor County. In 1860 his Post Office was New Market in Marion County. In 1870 his Post Office was Campbellsville, Precinct 3, Taylor County and in 1880 he was back at New Market in Marion County. I've found no further records for Hardin after 1880. I don't find any record of his burial in Sublett Cemetery. The only reason I can imagine him being buried there is if he moved back to Taylor County after 1880 and died there, which is a possibility. According to the 1900 U.S. Census Narcissa Ruark Murray (1833-1914) was a toll collector and her address was Ireland, Taylor County, KY. Narcissa's sister, Elizabeth Hogland, lived with her. Who this Elizabeth Hogland (1827-1913) is I don't yet know. Hardin Hogland married Elizabeth Britton in Green County in 1838 and they had a daughter named Elizabeth (1870-1887) who died of consumption. The Hogland family contributed heavily to Union Army, the 10th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, including my great-grandfather John Hogland. After the war, around 1870, many of them removed from New Market in Marion County to Ohio County. My interest is not just the Hoglands but also the Hardins. The supposed gate keeper Hardin Hogland's parents were Isaac Hogland and Miriam Hardin who settle early on Pitman Creek, probably in what is now Taylor County. Miriam's father was Capt. John Hardin who died in Pennsylvania in 1803. Her grandfather was Major John Hardin who was killed by Indians near Hardinsburg, KY in 1789. Two of her uncles were Benjamin Hardin, Sr. (father of the famous jurist and congressman, Benjamin Hardin, Jr.). and William "Indian Bill" Hardin, for whom Hardinsburg (Hardin's Station) is named. Benjamin Hardin, Sr. married his cousin, Sarah Ellen Hardin. Her brother was John Hardin, for whom Hardin County, KY is named, was killed by Indians in Ohio in 1792. What I learned last night is that an Adair County favorite son, Parker Watkins Hardin, is a great grandson of Benjamin Hardin, Sr. The Hoaglands (as my family has spelled the name for a few generations) have a long and distinguished history as well. They arrived early in America at New Amsterdam while it was still a Dutch colony. As the country opened up they continued to be early settlers in New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. They were not as prominent as the Hardins but were apparently all good citizens and patriots. Thanks again for the wonderful information. When this pandemic lifts I'm looking forward to another visit to your lovely area. This story was posted on 2020-11-14 10:54:24
