Hello All, Regarding questions of families listed in the "Screven County History" - here are some family histories included. There were questions posted regarding Hodges, Marshall, and various spellings of McGlowan. For the latter, someone else has responded. I'll try going through the SCH for references to Hursts and Sowells in a later message. HODGES On pages 170 & 171, under the entry F173, is a description of the family of Isaac Hodges (born Sept. 15, 1813 in Effingham Co.). His is the only Hodges family entry in the book. His parents are listed as being John and Tabitha Hodges, who were married in 1790 in Effingham County. Isaac married Flora Graham on Dec. 17, 1840. It is listed that they had six offspring. Isaac Hodges is listed as having 10 siblings. Isaac is listed as having five aunts and uncles. "Most or this information from the Hodges family Bible owned by Mrs. Bessie Hodges Waters, Sylvania." "Most of the information in the Article is from the records of C.D. Hollingsworth, Sr." Otherwise, there are a great many entries for Hodges among the various Family (F) and history (T) entries. They are: F15 F114 F255 F318 F422 F19 F117 F261 F325 F423 F26 F122 F275 F345 F424 F28 F132 F276 F380 T23 F62 F147 F292 F397 F64 F173 F313 F399 F66 F176 F314 F409 F69 F177 F315 F412 F97 F216 F317 F418 MARSHALL There is no Marshall family entry in the "SCH." However, there are the following entries: F57 F70 F160 F275 The first entry F57 refers to a marriage between a Boykin of Screven Co. with an Air Force officer named Marshall. Under the Brantley family entry of F70 there is a recent marriage between a Brantley and a Marshall. Under the Hagan family entry of F160 there is a marriage noted between Behjamin L. Hagan (1870 - 1905) married Frances Marshall and produced one child named Estelle. Under the Lucas family entry # F275 there is a marriage noted between a Lucas descendent and a Hugh Mills Marshall. Just in passing, I note some Howell connections with the Maner family of Screven Co. and Beaufort, Jasper, and Hampton Cos. of South Carolina: William Maner, born 1726 in Bertie Co., N.C., had a daughter named Civility who married a Daniel Howell. Second, there is the following: "John Maner, son of William and Mary (May) Maner, was born in 1759 at Black Swamp, died 1820 at his plantation near the mouth of Brier Creek in Screven County, Ga. He married Ruth Stafford in 1972. They had seven children, all born in South Carolina: 2. John Stafford Maner, born Feb. 8, 1794, died July 18, 1858, married Mahala Roberts Howell, the widow of Caleb Howell Jr., son of Col. Daniel Howell and Civility (Maner) Howell." I must note that there seems to be a -difficulty- with Caleb Howell Jr. being the son of Daniel Howell... Dale E.
