Eliza Catherine Hoag
Eliza Catherine Hoag (maiden name: Dingman) was born in New York around 1822, and she married Erastus Hoag on October 15, 1838. They had at least seven children: Cynthia, born around 1840; George, born around 1842; Rosaltha, born around 1845; William, born around 1848; Ezine, born around 1852; Eugene, born around 1856; and Anetta, born around 1859. They lived in Elbridge, New York, in 1840, and they moved to Ohio in the late 1840s. Her husband worked as a gardener and farm laborer. In 1865, Eliza testified that Erastus had “wholly abandoned the support of his family,” and that she was “wholly dependent on her…son George W. for support.” After her son died, she received a federal pension to help support her and her remaining children. Erastus died in April 1883, and Eliza followed around 1910.
