He was born in Concord, Massachusetts, the son of Lieutenant Daniel Hoar, and was educated at Harvard College. Hoar served with Samuel Waldo during the capture of Louisbourg. He was named a judge in the Court of Common Pleas in 1762. In 1767, he became surrogate judge of probate for Annapolis. He took ill and died after leaving the Annapolis area.
