The 1733 advertisement of Captain John Gascoigne, offering his Hilton Head Island plantation for sale, calls it Hogg Island, apparently referring to the whole of what is now Jenkins Island. The tiny island at its northern tip retained the name until recently, now being called largely Blue Heron Point. The ‘hogg’ spelling was doubtlessly an attempted similar upgrading of less lovely ‘hog’. No Hogg family ever owned it.
