- William Wogan (religious writer)
William Wogan (1678 - January 24, 1758), was a religious writer, the son of Ethelred Wogan, the "Rector of Gumfreston" and "Vicar of Penally", Pembroke.
Born in Gumfreston, Wogan was known for his piety, and was on intimate terms with many of the evangelical leaders of the time such as George Whitefield and John Wesley. His manuscript correspondence with Sir Robert Southwell was purchased by the British Museum. In his retirement at Ealing he wrote a large number of religious works.[ [http://www.wogan.info/ancient/Ethelred/text5.htm HtmlPedigree: text ] ] ]History
He was educated at Swansea Grammar School, Westminster School in 1694 (where he became Captain), and Trinity College in 1700. In 1718 he married Catherine Stanhope (a friend and protegee of Lady Elizabeth Hastings), and by her (who died on 19 June 1726) he had an only daughter, who was married to Robert Baynes, rector of Stonham Aspal, Suffolk.
From about 1727, William lived at Ealing in Middlesex, but died at his daughter's house at Stonham Aspal, and was buried at Ealing on 29 Jan.
He was secretary to the Charles Butler, 1st Earl of Arran [ [http://wesley.nnu.edu/john_wesley/letters/1737.htm Wesley’s Letters: 1737 ] ] .
