Carolyn - I am excited about what you have on Alexander Hodge. I live probably less than six miles from the Hodge Cemetery on old Voss Rd. North of the airport at Sugar Land (Fort Bend County) Texas where Alexander and many of his family members are buried. It is located across Voss Rd. from the subdivision known as Pheasant Creek about 3 miles north of my office. I would like to have copies of what you have and I am willing to pay for it. I know that there is some information here in Fort Bend Co. Library at Richmond and at Clayton; however, I am not certain that they have all the info that you were furnished. I would like to be certain that the libraries in Fort Bend Co., Clayton (Genealogical branch of the Houston Public Library) has the information also. Further, since the name Hodge and Hodges seemed to be inter-changable within many family groups, I feel that there may be a connection with my Hodges line. My GG-Grandfather was Dennis Newton Hodges and his father was Isaac Hodges b. Abbeville Dist. 1790. There is a web site of biographical information on Alexander Hodge (1760-1836) at http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online//articles/view/HH/fho9.html I have previously entered the data on this list.

Hi Gerry, I'll be happy to send you a copy of this information, but remember, what I have is a very bad Xerox copy, and what I send you will be one more generation, and a little worse. What is your address? If you don't want to post it hear, contact me at carolynhodge@mindspring.com I'm working on another installment of information on this family that I hope to have posted before I go to bed tonight.
