Regarding your mention of "Orrin S. Hoag, b. 1831 in OH" --
Are you positive Orrin is the son of John? A couple different websites I've checked out (which, true, could have incorrect information - I have not looked at original documents) list Orrin S. Hoag b 1831 in Ohio, as the son of Asa Hoag and Elizabeth Norton.
see Hoag Family dot net's page for Asa & Elizabeth and children:

http://hdhdata.org/roots/h2710.htmlIf you know for sure that Orrin was the son of John (or better yet, have some kind of document/record that says so), you should contact those two websites and tell them they have Orrin's parentage listed incorrectly, and provide them the correct info.
