  • David Hogan was born say 1780.
  • David Hogan served one term as Sheriff of Dickson County, Tennessee (1806-1808).
  • Jacob Fraley, George Hollabough and John Webb settled on Sinking Creek [in Perry County, Tennessee] about 1818 or 1820, and about the same time David Hogan, Hodge Adams and Nancy Randal settled on Rockhouse Creek.
