Until now I have been researching my HODGES family in Monmouthshire, but now find that John HODGES 1707-1777. was born Newland, Glos, and arrived in Monmouthshire abt. 1760. He married Sarah ?, and they had the following children, but I can't find baptisms for any of the daughters, but they are all mentioned in his will. John Hodges b. 1737 m. Sarah White of Green Pool, Plusterwine, Woolaston Richard Hodges b. 1741 m. Rachel Brown, Redwick, Mon Joseph Hodges b. 1748 Undy, Mon m. Elizabeth Edwards, Tidenham,Glos Elizabeth Hodges m. Francis Mulser, London Sarah Hodges m ? Hunt, London Ann Hodges m. ? Cooper, London Jane Hodges m. Thomas Bezer, London Hannah Hodges m. Samuel Hallet, St. Brides Netherwent, Mon There could is a connection to Lydbrook, Glos, as when John HODGES Jnr married, his Father deeded to them a property as a marriage settlement. This property was a water operated corn grist Mill, called Gadds Mill . Does anyone have any knowledge of this property, or recognise the name HODGES in this area please. Would love to find some connections. Best Wishes.........Hazel
