   WILLIAM S. HOGELAND farmer, P.O. Feasterville, is a 
descendant of Dirck Hanse Hogeland, captain of a vessel 
which came from Holland in 1655.  He remained in this 
country, settling in Long Island. A grandson, also named 
Dirck, born there in 1740, came to this township about 1788. 
 The son of this Dirck, named Daniel, was the 
great-grandfather of William S.   His son, Derrick P., was 
his grandfather.  He was born April 26, 1762, and died 
December 10, 1837, on the farm now owned by William S.   He 
as known as the "Old Squire," having been a justice of the 
peace in this township for nearly fifty years.  His wife was 
Johanna Stevens, who died before her husband.  Their 
children are all deceased.  Their son Isaac was William's 
father.  He was born September 16, 1792, and died September 
7, 1874.  He was a good citizen and industrious man, and by 
thrift accumulated a competence.  His wife Phebe, daughter 
of Joseph and Mary States, was born January 18, 1795, and 
died January 11, 1873.  Their children were:  Louisa and 
Abraham, deceased; and Julia Ann, Alfred, Harriet, and 
William States, who was born October 7, 1820.  Since five 
years old he has lived in the same place.  He inherited the 
home farm, and has since bought his father's other farm 
adjoining.  He never married.  Mr. Hogeland has been 
assessor of his native township, also county auditor, his 
neighbors having implicit confidence in his judgment and 
integrity.
