Surnames: Hodge Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RUj.2ACIB/873.1 Message Board Post: I was interested to read your message. My great grandmother was Lydia Hodge, born 1843 in Otsego County New York. I have been searching for her parents, Edson and Ann Hodge. The Otsego County connection sounds coinsedental except for two other things. John Abel Gould married Lydia Hodge and they lived for a time in DeKalb County Illinois. My grandfather, Willis Gould, son of Ann Hodge may be a namesake of your Hodge. I thought this might be of interest to you. Any info on Edson and Ann Hodge? Cordially, Max Gould
