Found in: "History of Waterford Maine 1775-1875" page 42
" ?..Sept. 8th, of the same year (1873), Philip Hor, originally from Taunton (Ma.), but last from Brookfield, Mass., came to examine a lot of land (Lot.5, Range 9.) which he had previously bought, about half a mile west of Joel Plummer's. The next June two of his sons came with him; they spent the summer clearing land. Late in the fall he returned to Brookfield (Ma.), leaving his sons to brave the severity of a long winter, or go to the older settlements. At that time there was considerable lumbering done in the coast towns. June, 1785, he came with his wife, who was from Norton, Mass. They suffered great hardships on the way. Their household goods were brought from Stevens Brook (Bridgton, Maine) on the backs of those who helped them in; for at this time the Scoggin trail, a mere bridle path, was the only road into Waterford.
They were disappointed in a house and provisions, which they had bargained for. So Mr. Hor built a hut of hemlock bark, and this was their only shelter for two years. They had not even a cow. Their nearest neighbors were three miles away, the Hamlins, who lived south of Tom pond. During six weeks of winter this family saw no human beings but themselves and no animal but a dog. When they wanted meal they had either to back the corn twelve miles to Stevens Brook, or go out and get a horse, which occupied a day, take the grist to mill, which occupied another, and the third day return the horse. Mrs. Hor was for some time the only woman in the plantation in full communion with the church." -

Who was Philip's father?

Norton T. Horr, in his book "A Record of Descendants of Hezekiah Hoar" (See page 9: https://archive.org/stream/recordofdescenda00horr#page/8/mode/2up ), states that Philip was son of either William or Isaac. It is my opinion that Philip was a son of Isaac.

Regarding Philip Hor/Horr, born 1734, married Hannah Harodon/Harrodon.

I feel that he (Philip) was most probably son of Isaac Hoar and Abigail Staples, and not son of William Hoar and Sarah Macomber. I would be most interested if anyone should ever find info. that would help my case. What I have so far:

Norton T. Horr (author of : A Record of Descendants of Hezekiah Hoar) says:
1. "Sarah Macomber was dau. of William Macomber". I feel, that although William Macomber (and wife, Sarah Holloway) did have a dau. named Sarah, being born 3-13-1709, she would not have been old enough to marry William Hoar in or around 1715.

2. The Macomber genealogy, pg. 91, says Sarah, dau. of John and Hannah (Bobbit/Babbit) Macomber m. William Hoar abt. 1715 and that this Sarah died 1757 as opposed to Norton's date of 1753.

3. As to the children of William Hoar and Sarah Macomber, Norton T. Horr says:
"A careful search of all known records fails to disclose the names of his (William Hoar's) children, except Anna. He [William Hoar] and his brother Isaac were the only ones of the name then in Taunton whose children are not known. There is strong evidence to believe that he had: Jacob, d. 1756, Ruth, Anna who married (Seth) Hodges; and Philip".

4. I think it has become accepted, by now, that Anna (who married Seth Hodges) was dau. of Jonathan Hoar and not William Hoar based on what the Macomber genealogy says on pg. 14: "Sept 8, 1735 Jonathan Hoar petitioned the court to appoint a guardian for his daughter Anna, who was then seven years old and had a claim on the estate of John Macomber through her mother".

5. I feel that Philip Hoar/Hor was a son of Isaac Hoar and Abigail Staples because this family also used surname Hor.
Philip Hoar/Hor m. Hannah Haradon/Harradon.
The Haradon/Harradon family was of Norton, Ma.
Philip Hoar/Hor was of Norton Ma. before moving to Maine.
Charity, dau. of Isaac Hoar and Abigail Staples m. John Harodon/Harrodon who was brother of Hannah Harodon/Harrodon who married Philip Hoar/Hor.

6. At the time of Norton's book he (Norton Horr) apparently did not know Philip's date of birth since it is not included. Philip was born 1734. This date fits better with Isaac Hoar/Hor's children then with m. date of 1715 for William and Sarah (Macomber) Hoar. (Philip would have been born 18/19 yrs. after their marriage...Possible but I think improbable.) Philip and Hannah (Harradon) Hoar/Hor named one son Isaac and named no son William. And since Norton says that William and Isaac Hoar were the only ones whose children were not known...I think it's a pretty good case, so far, for Philip to be son of Isaac Hoar/Hor and not William Hoar.
