Lynn. I noticed the reference to Carroll County in your message and I am hoping you can help me. I have posted this query on the Hodges list before, but I don't think I've ever tried the Hodge list. My grandfather Marion Franklin Rosamond was supposedly born in Carroll County 13 Sep 1848. He married Sarah Jane Hodge(s) in either Carroll County or Attalla County probably in the early 1870s. They had two children, one being my grandfather Joseph Franklin Rosamond who was born in Kosciusko, Attala County. My problem is that I've been attempting to find out something about my g-grandmother Sarah Jane Hodge(s) Rosamond. The only thing I know about her is that she supposedly died in 1884 giving birth. The baby also died. It's a long story, but circumstances were that Marion Franklin blamed Sarah's father, a doctor, for the death of his wife and child and killed him, for which Marion was sentenced to life in prison at a session of the Montgomery County court. This is according to an entry in Judge Niles diary back in Attala County. The date of the entry is October 1884 and it refers to the sentence being issued at the last session of the Montgomery County court. At any rate, I am looking for someone who can help me locate the family of Sarah Jane Hodge(s). My grandfather's death certificate list his mother as a Hodges with the S, but maybe that's where I'm going wrong with my research. Any help you or any of the other list members can provide will be greatly appreciated.

None of my Carroll County Hodges moved to Texas that I know of. There was one other Hodge family in Carroll County for a while, but I don't know anything about them.
