Fellow Hodge Researchers, About 20 years ago, I corresponded with a woman who was a descendant of Alexander Hodge, b. abt. 1760 in York, PA. I was hoping to find a connection, but there was none that I could see. Anyway, the woman's name was Johnnie Louise something, and she provided me with TONS of info about that family, including copies of wills, deeds, and the appointment of Archibald Hodge as an Alcalde in Texas (he was part of the Austin 300). I even have a couple of (really BAD) Xeroxed copies of photos of some of Alexander's descendants (appears to have been taken in late 1800s to early 1900s). I've been sitting on this info for 20 years, and I thought it might help some other Hodge researchers. I no longer have Johnnie's last name nor address. Does anyone know what the rules are for posting information in this forum obtained from Xeroxed copies of wills, deeds, etc. without the permission of the person who originally provided it? It is NOT copyrighted material. Below is information I know is OK to share, but please remember, it's not mine and I haven't done any verification of anything. I'm just sharing this to provide anyone who is connected to this family some clues they might want to pursue. Decendants of WILLIAM HODGE b. unknown d. October 3, 1794 Elberton Co., GA JOHN b. York, PA abt. 1758 ALEXANDER b. York, PA abt. 1760. Served in the American Revolution, under Francis Marions (the Swamp Fox) as a Private, and later as a Lieutenant with the North Carolina Militia. Married Ruth in 1788. Ruth was b. abt. 1769. Her maiden name may have been Fields. She died in Texas in 1831. Alexander livd in Oglethorpe Co., GA where some of his children were born.

EMILY married Joseph Stansbury PRENETTA (this was difficult to read, but I believe I've spelled it correctly) married Henry Dunlavy, son of M.B. Dunlavy; and Abner who died in 1860. (No last name was given for Abner). More info about William Hodge and Margaret Welch: Moved to Texas in 1828 with his wife, two daughters and one son. His wife was Margaret Welch, (a date of 1800 is given which I presume is her birth year). They were married about 1814. William probably died of Yellow Fever.

It is believed his first family was wiped out by Yellow Fever. His second wife was Gertrude Smith. She died in 1920. ROBERT ARCHIBALD There is much more information, but to keep this from getting too long, I'll send that info separately. CAROLYN HODGE

Hi Wilma, The earliest Hodge that I know is mine for sure, is Miles, born 1804, SC, moved to AL and FL, and his descendants. There is a good possibility Miles is related to the Benjamin, John, etc. Hodge family of Sumter Co., SC, but the link has not yet been found. If that is the case, this particular family was in North Carolina by 1725 (probably earlier), and South Carolina before 1790. I have some additional information about a Hodge family (not mine, and it doesn't include a Nathan nor Nathaniel, but it might give you another avenue to pursue), that I'm going to send separately to the Hodge-L list. Happy hunting. CAROLYN HODGE ----- Original Message ----- From: <WJPteach@aol.com> To: <HODGE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 18 March 2001 16:13 Subject: [Hodge] Hodge, Nathaniel

Carolyn, Do you have a Nathaniel (Nathan) Hodge in your line. He is in Prince George's County, Maryland before l800, around 1790's. Can not find his parents possibilty a Nathan also, since he named a son Nathan Nathaniel. Thank you.Wilma WJPteach@AOL.com

Hi Lee, Good information about Benjamin and James Hodge serving in (I'm assuming) Revolutionary War. Where did you find the information? Is this Benjamin the child of John Hodge Jr. and Mary Jane?

Pvt. Benjamin Hodge and Pvt. James Hodge (2) served in the First Virginia Regiment.

Faye, I have several friends who attend Mars Hill Baptist Church in Social Circle, GA (Walton Co. - next door to Oconee Co.). There are several people named Hodge who attend that church - one even named Carolyn Hodge. However, they are of African American descent. My husband is not, so I never considered asking about their ancestors, and since Miles Hodge owned slaves, I think it's probably best that I don't.

One of their children was Alexander Jackson Cherry b.1830. I appreciate any help provided!! -- iWon <http://www.iwon.com/> - Voted the #1 portal on the Web!

No i don't know why, but didn't even think about it. Thanks, it helps to have a little input sometimes. LOL. Barbara

I have Harriett Katherine Hodge from Bingham,SC. She was married to Wyatt Paul. She was born about 1842. I know he must have died young because i haven't found him any where. She moved over the line to Robeson Co.,NC. I have a lot of family there. Barbara Green Justice Jax.,Fl.

Sounds like he was probably the right age to be in the Civil War. Look for a war record on him????

I hope that when you receive the info you will share it. Someday I would love to have all these Miles sorted out. Thanks Faye At 10:47 PM 03/08/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Faye, > >You already know about my Miles Hodge - b. 1804 SC, married Frances Wheeler >

Faye, You already know about my Miles Hodge - b. 1804 SC, married Frances Wheeler (b. 1814 in SC) on June 14, 1832 in Montgomery Co., AL. Was in the 1850 Census in Covington Co., AL (occupation - mechanic and farmer). He had several land patents in Covington and surrounding counties. Was in the 1860 and 1870 Holmes Co., FL Census. Since we last spoke, I found out from Joe Agosta that my Miles had another son after 1850 named Miles Manus Hodge who was a logger in Florida. Joe has promised to send me more info in a couple of weeks.
