4. JAMES^{3 H}OGG (ROBERT^{2, WILLIAM}^{1) was born 1770 in Ettrickhall
Farm, and died 21 Nov 1835. He married (1) M}ARGARET PHILLIPS. He met (2) UNKNOWN LAIDLAW.

Notes for JAMES HOGG:

JAMES HOGG, "THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD" was a better poet and writer than a farmer, perhaps best known for writing Will Ye No Come Back Again? He was a notorious philanderer, specifically

credited with fathering 2 (poss 5) illegitimate children, apart from his own five to Margaret Phillips. He

was twice called by the Kirk Session to the 'Stool of Repentance' over this. His most famous book, The Private Memoirs of a Justified Sinner (1824), is held to be one of the great Scottish novels and to be a key influence on Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde.

The Hogg family had been family retainers for the Scott family, and it was through this connection that the Shepherd and Sir Walter Scott met and became life-long friends. Hogg also met Wordsworth, but their meeting was marred because Hogg initially confused him with a more celebrated (in Edinburgh) man of that name, a horse dealer. Wordsworth must have got over this because he records a visit to Scott "and friends" (known to include the Shepherd) in Yarrow Revisited; he also wrote an elegy Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg (Composed Nov 1835; pub 12 Dec 1835, The Athenoeum): "When first descending from the moorlands/I saw the stream of Yarrow glide." See portrait of the Shepherd and copy of this elegy on display at Rydal Mount, Wordsworth's final home,

in the Lake District.
