Bill Moore - my GG-Grandfather, Dennis Newton Hodges had a daughter, Sarah Louise or "Lula" who married Madison M. Moore of Mississippi and they had 15 children, all boys. About half of them were doctors and the others were ministers or involved in the Baptist Church in some way. All of them were college graduates. Very rare for that day and time, probably rare for now. There originally lived in Venus, Johnson Co., TX and later moved to Fort Worth, TX and lived on Seminary Hill. I am glad that she was able to encourage her brood to get an education as her brother, Isaac Allen, tried to keep all of his brood working the fields. Therefore, as soon as they were able, they left home especially those like my Grandfather who was offered triple the money he earned farming to go to the oil fields.
