James Hog

James Hog (1658?–14 May 1734) was a Scottish Presbyterian minister at Carnock, known for his role in the Marrow Controversy within the Church of Scotland.Against his own desire he was in 1695 elected a member of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, but declined to take the required oaths.The Lord High Commissioner then objected to his taking his seat, and Hog under pressure retired from the Assembly.[1] In bad health Hog resigned his charge on 12 November 1696, but in August 1699 he was installed in the parish of Carnock, Fife, and held the post till his death, on 14 May 1734.The book was denounced by an act of the assembly in 1720, whereupon Hog and 11 other ministers, who became known as the "Marrow Men", presented a protest.
