Profiles Mentioned:

Jonathan Hoag was an early Quaker in Newbury. The sons of John Hoag are mentioned in Judge Sewall's diary on 24 May 1704 "went to Salem; conversed with Mr. Noyes and told him of the Quaker meetings at Sam Sawyer's a week ago and of the profaneness of the young Hoags". In turn Jonathan convinced his siblings to leave the Presbyterian Church and become Quakers. Eventually even his father John, and their mother after her husband's death, converted to the faith. A very detailed account is given in Joseph Hoag's (1762-1846) famous journal of his life. (findagrave memorial 39193773)

Jonathan is probably buried in an unmarked grave in a Friends/Quaker burial ground. His son Stephen Hoag moved to the Oblong Meeting House in Dutchess County New York and then to Washington County NY.
