Does this ring any bells to you? If you happen to see the name Francis Hodge of Pa. Please let me know. All appreciated. Gale

Thanks Ken. There was another Hodge family in Henderson county. They are apparently unrelated, coming from Tenn., Alabama, and Georgia. Robert Hodge was a minister and also the census taker for the 1860 Henderson county census. It was indeed Brown county, county seat Brownwood, where Nellie grew up in. It was there I found the burial and death info for Ellen at a local funeral home. It is the only official documation that indicates the name of Nellie's father. It was J.E. Providing the Death info for Nellie was my uncle Lester Evans, since deceased. I checked my papers, and do not have a death certificate, only a copy of her will. I have seen the certificate and do not believe it mentioned her parents. The 1880 date was hers, but considering the circumstances of her childhood, she could have been mistaken; or the 1880 census taker in Henderson county could have left off the "mo" indicating she was one month, not one year old. I looked through a couple of pages of the census and found no case were the "mo" appeared. My intent is to look through the entire listing by that particular census taker to see if he used months instead of years. Her brother Eddie was born in 1888, her brother Johnnie born in 1896, which is eight years apart for each child. Both Eddie and Johnnie passed away before 1960 and were childless, according to my father; though I have not researched that yet. I have searched the 1880 Dallas census and found nothing that can tie to her. The only Hodge households on the census was a Betty Hodge (race: Black) with no others in her household; and a George H. Hodge, aged 50. George, born in Kentucky, had no son named J.E. or anything close. I am currently trying to find this George in the 1870 and 1860 census's, but there are a lot of George Hodge's out there. Until last week, I had presumed that either they were missed in the census, or my grandmother did not tell the truth about her age in order to get married (1898). However I am well familiar with Grandma's feelings about telling the truth for I have tasted her homemade lye soap, for fibbing in my childhood. There are two John Hodge's still in the running for my g-grandfather. One is a John Hodge, Denton county, 1880 census, an unmarried 21 year old cowboy born in Texas. I have found no further information on him. Also the 1860 census, Clark county Illinois, lists a 2 year old John E. Hodge, son of a George Hodge (not the same George in the 1880 Dallas census). However I can find nothing further on him. I have checked all John Hodge's in the 1880 Texas census. None come close, except for the Denton county entry. Using the LDS 1880 census cd's, I have found no children on the Dallas county 1880 census that match. I have not searched Brown county to see if a legal foster relationship existed. I used that term loosely, for I understand it more like a "boarding" arrangement. This was common in those days. Apparently Ellen was employed from time to time by the Bairs, and the children were apparently swapped back and forth. The 1900 census lists Eddie in both households (same birth month and year). From the verbal info I have received, the Bairs were the primary caregivers of Nellie, and Ellen the primary caregiver of Eddie and Johnnie. My father says Nellie never mentioned her father; it was my aunt (since deceased) that said his name was John. I am intrigued that a neighbor of both the Bairs and Ellen was a John A. Hodge, b circa 1815, who came to Texas from Hopkins county Kentucky. This county adjoins both Crittenden and Caldwill (were Darien was married). If John A. was close kin to James E., it would make sense for him to bring Nellie there for care. I speculate that maybe John A. and his wife Mildred may have felt they were too old to care for the baby and recomended the Bairs. Of course, I need to try to determine what happen to Nancy, James E. wife, living in 1880. Did she die? Or where they divorced? If divorced, did James E. babynap Ellen and take her to Brownwood? That is why I am going to Henderson county courthouse. I have never found a marraige record for J.E. and Ellen, though I have search a number of counties. I guess my gold mine would be to find evidence of Nancy's passing and a marraige to Ellen in Henderson. Then, what became of James and Nancy's oldest four children? There may be a precident for that in that when Darien remarried, he apparently left his children by Elizabeth in the the care of James E. and moved away. My dad gave me a bit of info the other day, which is interesting. I told him about J.E. being listed as a Singer Sewing Machine salesman in the 1888 Dallas directory (along with Benjamin as a traveling salesman). His memory was jogged and said he remembered as a small boy, Nellie had a stockpile of sewing machine springs, which she sold to make extra money. Could she have inherited them from her father? Anyway, I do not want to absolutely declare James E. or anyone else as my g-grandfather, until I do more research. Again I thank you for your time and info. Bob

Bob, who was the respondant on the death certificate and what was the relationship? Sometimes you can learn more by knowing who gave the information. Also, was the marriage witness a relative? Have you looked for an obit? It might give some other names of relatives. It seems as though her father may have been John E. Hodge (maybe Edward) and her mother probably died when she was still a baby, at least under 10 years old. I don't think her mother would have left her at that age for any other reason. Having a young child, John probably remarried quickly. Do you have the ages of her step-brothers, Eddie (Edward ?) and Johnnie (John ?), might give a clue as to when the mother died and John remarried. Many times under this condition the father would marry the mother's sister. Were these foster parents (Leon and Anna Bair) chosen on a legal basis or just friends of the family? You might find something in the Court Minutes on why it occured. As to whether the Nellie G. listed in Henderson County on the 1880 census is yours, I think not. She said she was born in Dallas and was only a week old at the census. Nellie was a common name in the Livingston, Ky. Hodge's line.

Thanks Kenneth, I have Nellie's death record and marraige record. The LDS entry was mine, based on what she had told her children. I now have reason to doubt that her father was really named John, as I have found no evidence (after a 20 year search) of a John Hodge that meets all the requirements.

Hi Bob, You really have a puzzle here. I've searched my total database without finding anything close. Do you know when and where Nellie died? Additional sources to check would be a death certificate, newspaper obits, Social Security, and funeral home records. I found the following listing for Nellie in the LDS file. No new info but at least someone has listed her and there may be more info by now. HODGE, Nellie (F)......................

Bob Evans

Thank you Kenneth and Don for you responses. I answered Don's first note before I got Kenneth's. To provide more detail, I am trying to identify the parents of my grandmother Nellie Hodge. She passed away many years ago, but from my father and aunt, I gained this, which she said at one time or another: "I was born May 26 1880 (one week before the census) in Dallas Texas. My father was John Hodge and my mother Ellen. I moved to Brownwood, Texas as a very young child and was raised by foster parents (Leon and Anna Bair). I had two younger brothers Eddie and Johnnie. I moved to Dallas-Fort Worth when I was 15 and married H.L. Evans in 1898." I have not been able to find any trace of this John Hodge. Ellen was born in Jun 1871, which would have made her 8 yrs and 11 months old when Nellie was born. Ellen also stated, on the 1900 census, that she only had two children, with two living. That would be Eddie and Johnnie. This would indicate that Ellen was a stepmother. Ellen also stated that her husband was J.E. Hodge, born in Illinois. However I am not sure to what extent she really knew her husband. Apparently he was gone most of the time, and he either died, or divorced by 1900. The only other record of a J.E. Hodge in north Texas I find is in the Dallas city directory of 1888, which lists a J.E. Hodge as a Singer Sewing Machine Canvasser. Also listed was a Benjamin Hodge, traveling salesman. My speculation is that these are James E. Hodge and George Benjamin Hodge, sons of Darien Hodge. James E. had a daughter Nellie, 1 year old, on the 1880 census. Ellen Hodge was living in close proximith to the widow of John A. Hodge in the 1900 Brown county census.I have proven to my satisfaction that John A. Hodge is not the father of J.E. Hodge. My question is: Can my Nellie be James E.'s Nellie? Any help you can give would be deeply appreciated. Bob Evans

Well Bob I have been looking at the children of Darien and I don't see a James E. listed. But I have A George. B. Hodge listed as a child of Darien and and Elizabeth Gray and he was borned in Henderson Co Texas in 1864--Darien Hodge had a second boy named Darienborned in 1851 in Livingston Co. Bob, Livingston and Crittenden Counties border on the Ohio River and a mile across this River is Pope County - Hardin County, Illinois. It was not unusual for people to go back and forth across the River by Ferry or boat. As far as living over there, more than one Hodge located there for awhile. Tell you what I will do if Ken doesnot come up with something more, I am going to ask Barbara Knox to look at all this e mail, as she has been researching so much the last few years on some of the branches. She might be able to give you a lead. I did go by and pull the marriage of Darien Hodge and Miss Elizabeth Gray Feb 12, 1845, Henry gave permission for Darien as he was not quite 21.
