>From the book "Historical Collections of Georgia" by the Rev. George White, p. 405 section on Columbia County, Georgia: "The Spirit of Seventy-six!- Another hero of the Revolution has fallen- before the shrine of Hymen!- but even in his fall he triumphed! Thus runs the proud memorial of his glory: on the 25th ult. was united in the holy bands of matrimony, by John McGehee, Esq., Mr. David Hodge, aged one hundred and two years and two months, to Miss Elisabeth Baily, aged forty years, both of Columbia County, Georgia. Mr. Hodge was at Braddock's defeat, and served throughout the whole period of the Revolutionary War.-from the Augusta Chronicle" (year is not given but the text suggests its from around 1850) Jeff Armstrong
