CHAPTER XXI
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

JOHN HOGLE

Warden of Lennox and Addington, 1876.

Bostian Hogle was one of the original party of Loyalists who settled in the township of Ernesttown. His father, John Hogle, was a captain in the British army and met his death at the battle of Bennington. Of such stock was descended John Hogle who was born near Ernesttown Station in 1826. He owned a small farm near Link's Mills and at one time owned and operated a woollen-mill and plaster-mills on Mill Creek. He also claimed the distinction of having built and managed the first cheese factory in the township.

While he had no opportunity to distinguish himself in military service as did his great-grandparent whose name he bore, he was not averse to a battle in the field of municipal politics, and was successful in seven contests for the deputy-reeveship of his native township. While still in the warden's chair he was appointed Collector of Customs at the port of Bath. He moved to the village and occupied, until his death in 1898, the old homestead of the late William Davy. The duties of his office were not very onerous, but such as they were, he executed them with a scrupulous regard for the preservation of the revenue, and was kind and courteous to all who had business relations with him in his official capacity.

The Battle of Bennington was a battle of the American Revolutionary War that took place on August 16, 1777, in Walloomsac, New York, about 10 miles (16 km) from its namesake Bennington, Vermont. An American force of 2,000 men, primarily composed of New Hampshire and Massachusetts militiamen, led by General John Stark, and reinforced by men led by Colonel Seth Warner and members of the Green Mountain Boys, decisively defeated a detachment of General John Burgoyne's army led by Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum, and supported by additional men under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich von Breymann.

Baum's detachment was a mixed force of 700 composed of dismounted Brunswick dragoons, Canadians, Loyalists, and Indians. He was sent by Burgoyne to raid Bennington in the disputed New Hampshire Grants area for horses, draft animals, and other supplies. Believing the town to be only lightly defended, they were unaware that Stark and 1,500 militiamen were stationed there. After a rain-caused standoff, Stark's men enveloped Baum's position, taking many prisoners and killing Baum. Reinforcements for both sides arrived as Stark and his men were mopping up, and the battle restarted, with Warner and Stark successfully driving away Breymann's reinforcements with heavy casualties.

The battle was an important victory for the American cause, as it reduced Burgoyne's army in size by almost 1,000 men, led his Indian support to largely abandon him, and deprived him of needed supplies, all factors that contributed to Burgoyne's eventual surrender at Saratoga. The victory also galvanized colonial support for the independence movement, and played a role in bringing France into the war on the American side.

History of the Province of Ontario (Upper Canada), etc., by Wm. Canniff: "Among those who fought the unequal battle of Bennington was Captain Hogle, who was shot dead. He was a native of Vermont. He left a widow and three sons, who were yet young. They were under the necessity of leaving their valuable possessions and removing to Canada. They buried plate in the garden, which was never regained. At the expiration of the war they settle in Ernest town."
