When I looked at my files, I was shocked to see that I do not have any marriages between McFaddens and Hodge. They have both been found in the same area since the late 1700's. There were neighboring McFaddens in the Sumter area of SC and when the pioneer group left the Sumter area for Early/Calhoun County GA in 1848 my Hodge family and some McFaddens were among them. I guess they were always neighbors, but I do not see any marriages. Of course, the Hodge and McFadden that moved on the FL would have been later than I followed. Maybe they finally intermarried after coming to GA. The McFaddens did intermarry with my Davis line which also came out of the Sumter area and was instrumental in the pioneer move to GA. I have been digging in my Calhoun County books and can not find much on the McFaddens, so it is quite possible that members of this group soon moved on the other GA locations. I have no doubt that there is a connection here, I just don't know where to find it at this time. If anything more is learned on this line, I hope it will be shared, so I can add it to the file.

Faye; I can't tell you for sure but I belive that I have a cousin I think his name is George Hodge that married a Mcfadden girl around the early 1960's but he is decended from Shadrack from the Meshack Shadrack and Abendgo Hodges from Kentucky. We ran around with some of the McFadden girls when I was younger. I always heard some of my hodges went to Ga. To have both family's in both states is kind of strange. Bill Moore

Faye and other SC/AL/FL Hodge Researchers, Still looking for clues about Miles Hodge (b. 1804 SC, lived in AL, d. FL I think) heritage. I heard that Benjamin M. Hodge (b. NC; d. Sumter Co., SC abt. 1815) had another son (other than Benjamin Rodus) whose name was John Hodge with a possible middle name of Miles. Does anyone know anything about that John Hodge? Maybe he's my connection. CAROLYN HODGE

This is true, but..... John Miles (son of Benjamin-I have never seen "M" as a middle initial) died in 1806 leaving a wife Nancy and three sons, Benj. D., John M and Miles E. These 3 sons are accounted for and followed for quite some time in the Sumter area. I know that we are in the correct family. We just have not yet found the correct parent.

More on the subject. Miles E. Hodge born 1806-07, after his fathers death married Elizabeth who was previously married to James A. Harvin. They had three known children, dudley E., Martha Angelina, and Miles E. I do not know if it is possible that this Miles E. had a second family. I do not think so but would have to do more digging.
