John and Jane Hogarth are buried together in Sheldrake Cemetery, Ovid, New York

They came to America together with their children( Mary b. Oct. 28, 1784, Richard b. April 14, 1875 and Alice b. June 9, 1790) from County Down, Ireland on July 12, 1792 in a sailing vessel. They sailed on this vessel for eight weeks before arriving. While on this voyage a great storm came upon them. John Hogarth feared the worst while holding bed covers over the berths to keep his family dry. It is written in old family letters that he said to his wife "Jennie, give me your hand once before we go to the bottom" the storm blew over and they sailed on to America. They settled first in Paterson, New Jersey, where John Scott Hogarth was born in 1793. These Hogarths lived in Patterson for approx. two years, leaving on account of concerns over the "fever & ague". They removed themselves to the area near Sheldrake, N.Y.
