Biography

Hoge was born near Hogestown in the Province of Pennsylvania. He received a limited schooling and moved to western Pennsylvania in 1782, where he and his brother John founded the town of Washington, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1796 and 1797.

Hoge was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Seventh and Eighth United States Congresses and served until his resignation on October 15, 1804. He was one of six Democratic-Republican representatives to oppose passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution.[1] Hoge was again elected to the Tenth Congress. He retired to his farm near Washington, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1814. He was interred in the "Old Graveyard."
