Hi Tina, Searched my files and only found one that was even close. William Henry was a pretty common name in the mid to late 1800's, in fact I have two in my line. 2 William Henry HODGES b: May 27, 1844 in Sumner Co, TN d: January 04, 1886 I think you need to look at the 1850 census in Ohio for William at age 7 and follow through the 1860 census until you see when they moved to Ks.. Look for any Hodge or Hodges with a son named William or Henry at about the correct age. Don't know where you live but most all larger libraries have microfilm with the census records. If you can't get them, try a query on Rootsweb for the correct county. Someone may have a copy and do a search for you. Let me know what you find and I'll try another search.
