She afterwards returned to their old home in Macon County, N.C. Archibald Hogan was married in Wayne County, July 28, 1824, to Zilpha Roberts, born 1803, daughter of Richard Roberts, R.S.

Archibald Hogan moved about 1835 from Wayne County to what was then Columbia Co., Fla., now Baker County, and located on the St. Marys River. He was living there in August, 1840, when the Indians attacked his home where several settlers had fled for protection, several being killed in the attack. Fort Moniac across the river from him, had been built during the Indian War about two years before.
Mr. Hogan died about 1847, and his widow and children moved further southward into present Columbia County. She died after 1850. He served in Capt. Daniel N. Cone's company of Georgia militia in 1838 in the Indian War.

General Notes: Husband - Leroy J. Thrift
Leroy J. Thrift (generally known as "Pomp" Thrift), ancestor of most of the Thrifts of Baker County, Fla., was born in Ware County, Feb. 11, 1841, son of Carr W. Thrift (Vol.V). He was maTried in 1863 in Charlton County, to Zilpha Hogan, daughter of Archibald Hogan (Vol.IV). When she was born her parents were living on the St. Marys River but whether in Georgia or in Florida cannot be definitely stated, though the 1850 Census shows her born in Georgia (the 1840 Census showing the Hogan family in Columbia, now Baker, County, Fla., and the newspaper article telling of the Indian attack on the Hogan home in August, 1840, referring to it having occurred in Florida near the St. Marys River). She was born Nov. 9, 1847 according to her tombstone, but the 1850 Census shows her four years old. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Thrift were eleven children:
1. Marietta
2. James W.
3. Robert Archibald
4. Rufus
5. Joseph 0.
6. Daniel Leary
7. Zilphia
8. Moses
9. Charles
10. Sarah
11. Nellie
Mr. Thrift and family lived in the Moniac community of Charlton County, near the St. Marys River, the state fine. The 1860 Census of Charlton shows him single living in the home of P.W.W. Mattox (Vol.V), occupation shown as "farm-laborer". He and his wife were members of Moniac Methodist Church. He was a private in Co. "D'', 4th Georgia Cavalry Regiment, C.S.A., 18634865 (a Charlton County company).
Leroy J. Thrift died at the age of 48 years, Feb. 6, 1889, and was buried in old Hopewell Cemetery at Moniac. His widow later moved over the river into Baker County, Fla., most of the children having married there and living there. She died in Baker County, Feb. 21, 1918, and was buried by her husband in Hopewell Cemetery.
In recent years a family re-union of the descendants of this old couple is held annually in May at Macedonia Methodist Church in Baker County, and Sheriff Paul Thrift of that county is the current President (1970).
