This is Al Metts, This is my response without the picture attachments. The Hodges list will not send them. Subject: Re: Old Hodges Family Cemetery Dear Mr. Spurlock, I appreciate your message and I am encouraged by your active interest. YES, I will send you as much information as you wish. This fight for justice has gone on for a long time with many Hodges descendants involved. I do not know, exactly what Bruce Cobb sent, so I will start with the article that was published recently and with two attachments of the grave before and after the stone was broken, scattered, and rearranged on the ground by some descendants. The first attachment shows the grave of John Hodges and that of his wife, Frances, before the destruction. The second attachment is recent. My e-mail has limited ability for long messages, so there will be a number of messages sent. I will be interested in whether you get what you need. Thank you so much for doing this for a great Revolutionary soldier. Sincerely, Albert C. Metts, Jr. Colonel, Infantry, Retired Unithed States Army ----------------------------------------------------------- This is the e-mail copy of my recent article that was published in GRAB. THE DESECRATION OF A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER’S GRAVE By Colonel Albert Caswell Metts, Jr. John Hodges was an heroic American Revolutionary soldier. His body lies in the old Hodges family cemetery near Hodges, South Carolina. For over ten years, vandals have been allowed to desecrate the graves in the hallowed ground of this small South Carolina cemetery. In June, 1995, The Carolina Herald and Newsletter, page 119, contained a detailed report by Mary Clyde Reid Mungo, of Lancaster, South Carolina, telling about the sadistic destruction of the tombstones in that cemetery. At that time, she wrote, "They have broken sixteen (16) of the twenty-seven (27) stones that were erected there. Some of them date back a century and a half.". One of the broken tombstones has the inscription, " Maj. JOHN HODGES / who departed this life / 24th December 1834 / aged about 78" Near that stone is a separate small marble stone with a cross at the top and the words, "JOHN HODGES / PVT. SC MILITIA / REVOLUTIONARY WAR / DEC. 24, 1834". The story tells about how pleas to the owner of the land; the Greenwood, SC, newspaper; various political authorities; and genealogical societies were futile. Today, February 3, 2001, almost every tombstone has been broken, some into many pieces. The owner of the land where the cemetery is located operates The Piney Grove Go Cart Track next to and including the cemetery. He has placed two portable toilets within a few feet of one of the graves. Customers are allowed to drive the vehicles through the cemetery and to liter the area with debris including broken bottles. Obviously, the riders are allowed to destroy the tombstones. This is a shameful disgrace for the State of South Carolina. The landowner and the vandals do not deserve the freedom given to them by that Revolutionary soldier! This brings the reader to the question: "Who was John Hodges?". He was an American, born in Essex County, Virginia. His parents were Richard and Elizabeth Jones Hodges. The family moved to South Carolina before the Revolutionary War. The father, Richard, died before the war started, leaving a widow with twelve children. As the war began, the Indians fought for England. They attacked the Hodges home and burned it. The mother, Elizabeth, took most of her children into the woods hiding them in hollow trees. John saw the Indians burn his home, capture his sister Dorothy and take her away. When John became fifteen years old, he volunteered into the South Carolina Militia. He served in Captain Samuel Rosamond’s Company, part of General Greene’s Army. John’s pension request in the U. S. Archives gives a complete account of his active service from April 1, 1780 until the end of the war. He participated in the battles at Ninety-Six and at Chaota Town. After the war, he continued to serve in the militia and this accounts for the rank of major on his tombstone. During the Revolution, he was a fifteen year old private soldier in the infantry. His many descendants are very proud. John Hodges married Margaret Long and they had two children. She died after their son, Reuben was born. John Hodges married Frances Anderson and she gave him eighteen (18) children! Every one of the twenty Hodges children lived to maturity. After the Revolution ended their daughter, Dorothy, was released by the Indians and she returned to her home in Hodges, South Carolina. The family held a reunion with every member of the family present - an unbroken family! The little South Carolina town of Hodges was named for John’s son, General George Washington Hodges. The descendants of John Hodges are many. Some still live in South Carolina. Many live in locations scattered across America. Many of them have been following the awful situation in Greenwood County as the vandalizing of the Hodges cemetery continues. The landowner does allow family members to enter the cemetery, but he refuses to sell or fence the grave area or to stop the vandals from continuing the destruction. Descendants cleaned John’s tombstone and placed it in an appropriate position on the ground. It would be foolish to try to repair it because further damage would result when it is knocked down again. Many Hodges members are participating in efforts to solve the sad problem by use of the Internet ([email protected]). Use of the list allows communication between family mambers and every action is documented. Recent contacts are being made with Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, and Governor Jim Hodges of South Carolina. Also, plans are going forward to encourage participation by the Sons of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the American Revolution. The story told here is meant to inform genealogists and other patriotic citizens of South Carolina so that they will join our crusade. We, the Hodges descendants, continue to be patient and persistent as we try to protect the hallowed graves of our ancestors. The State of South Carolina should be ashamed of allowing the desecration to continue. Hodges, SC, is several miles northwest of Greenwood, SC. To visit the cemetery, from Hodges, follow highway 178, turn east on Road 374, and cross the old railroad bed. Then, follow the gravel logging road about 200 yards. Across a gully east, the old Gaelic stones can be seen in the woods. Today, that is a sad sight.

I run the Saving Graves website and I'm contacting you regarding the Old Hodges Family Cemetery, located in Hodges, Greenwood County, South Carolina. Bruce W. Cobb ( who I am copying this email to) submitted an Endangered Cemetery Report last night regarding the fact that this cemetery is currently being used as a Go Cart track. I have to tell you that I've been running Saving Graves for just about a year and a half now and have received close to 1000 reports of endangered cemeteries but this one is beyond anything that I have heard of. I cannot begin to fully express how shocked and disgusted that I am over this. I'd like to very much like to try and help if at all possible. Mr. Cobb mentioned that you had some photographs of the conditions in the cemetery. Would it be possible for me to get copies of those photos that I could place on the website in a report on this cemetery. I'd like to let others become aware of this situation. Also, if possible could either one of you supply me with contact information on local media outlets (TV stations, newspapers, radio, etc) that serve that area. I need to research the South Carolina law regarding cemeteries to see exactly what it covers but I have to think that in this situation that the way would be on our side. Do either of you know if the local law enforcement has been contacted regarding this and if so what their reaction has been. I'm in Atlanta, and was planning on going over to the Georgia - South Carolina border this weekend for lunch in the little town of Gumlog, but I may head on over to Hodges weather permitting to see this for myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nobody To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 2:54 AM Subject: ENDANGERED CEMETERY REPORT UPDATE Date: June26,2001 name: Bruce W.

This is Al Metts of San Antonio, I have been absent from the list for a long time, but the problem about the desecration of the grave of John Hodges of Abbeville, Revolutionary hero, has continued. Governor Hodges of South Carolina, not of our family, would do nothing for us. Lloyd Benson, SC Senator has been no helper, but he is even older than I am (80 years!) So----, today, I received the message which I am forwarding to you. I answered it right away. Part of my answer: Good morning, Bruce, I appreciate your message and I am grateful for your interest and your actions about the Hodges grave. I am glad that you gave them my name as a contact. I tried to get Governor Hodges of South Carolina to take corrective action. He would do nothing. Fortunately, he descends from a different Hodges family - the ones from Marlboro County, SC. Ours are from Abbeville. Since you are a lawyer, can you find out whether there is a federal law that would apply to our case? That is one possibility that has not been researched. We tried to get help from the local authorities to no avail. The SAR was contacted and they did nothing. It is a sad situation. I have proved 42 Revolutionary ancestors to the SAR, the record at this time. The attached pictures show the tombstone of John Hodges and his wife, Frances Anderson Hodges. The first was made before the graves were desecrated. The second picture is of the John Hodges grave today. The pieces were scattered. The descendants rearranged them as you see, but did not try to reassemble them because further breakage would occur. The rectangular stone at the bottom is a marker giving him credit for his Revolutionary service. ------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "bruce cobb" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2001 03:42:59 -0500 Subject: Hodges cemetery Message-ID: <[email protected]> Dear Colonel Metts: I read your item in the Summer 2001 issue of GRAB on the desecration of a Revolutionary Soldier's grave. It upset the h-ll out of me. I understand further that John Hodges was your ancestor. My Revolutionary War ancestor John Cobb,1743-1781 lies somewhere in either Laurens or Greenwood County S.C. maybe in an unmarked grave. I found the following web site: www.savinggraves.com I took the liberty of submitting an endangered cemetery report for you. You were listed as the contact person. These people at the Saving Graves website appear helpful to the cause of saving old gravesites. One thing: this cemetery may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places particularly as the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier. Federal law may prohibit the de- secretion of such a site. Please let me know if I can help. I reside in Beaumont,Texas and am an "old San Antonio boy" as well as a former Captain USAR. I now quietly practice law in Beaumont. Feel free to drop a line when you can. Bruce W. Cobb __________________________________________________________ Al Metts [email protected]

Hi Peggy Sue, I don't think I have encountered the name Leroy Hodges; but I'm pretty sure there was a Richard Hodges in that time frame in either Jefferson or more likely Washington County; in fact I think he left a will there.

I noticed information on Hodges in Alabama. Do any of those connect bact to Seth T. Hodges and his half brother John Burleson. I have been told that Seth was born in Alabama, lived in Sumner Co, Tenn. from where he pioneered the Macoupin County Ill area in 1815. I am still trying to find his parents. Thanks Marita

Hi Cathy, I think I may have seen this family in the 1910 Houston County, AL census; look for Precinct 5, Big Creek; Enumeration District 141, printed page no. 149. I made a note to myself to go back and look at this family, to see if this William Hodges correlates with the William E. Hodges who was the son of Robert Hodges and Sabrina Parker. As I recall, this family had sons named Joel and Barney; if this is your family, then we almost certainly connect. If we do connect, please let me know; I have a lot of additional information for you about the Hodges and the Parkers.

Derrick HODGES was born (22 Sep 1795, according to the family Bible) in New York, the son of Eleanor Margaret and William HODGES. Eleanor's maiden name may have been CORNWELL. William HODGES and family were in Rensselaer Co, NY, in 1800. They probably lived for a time in Canada, then moved to Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co, PA, by 1810. The William HODGES family settled in Warren Co, PA, around 1814, and Derrick HODGES was living in Brokenstraw, Warren Co, PA, by 1818. He apparently remained in Warren Co, PA, until sometime after 1840. The 1840 census lists Derrick G. HODGES in Warren and Elk Twp, Warren Co, PA; but he had moved to the District of Butler, Richland Co, OH, by 1850. He was listed in the 1860 census as living in the Village of Lafayette, Butler Twp, Richland Co, OH. Known children of Derrick HODGES, Sr., and wife Sarah included: Sarah Ann HODGES, b ca 1820; Matilda Jane HODGES, b 18 Aug 1835; Derrick HODGES, Jr., b ca 1836; Maria HODGES, b ca 1839. When did Derrick HODGES, Sr., die, and what was his wife Sarah's maiden name? Other HODGES appearing in Richland Co, OH, included: Seth B. HODGES (married there in 1858), William HODGES (married there in 1862), and Luther HODGES (married there in 1867). What was their relationship (if any) to Derrick HODGES? My ancestor was Derrick's sister, Ruby Eliza HODGES -- born 4 Oct 1792, and died 10 Aug 1815, in PA, following the birth of her daughter Ruby DUGAL. Ruby DUGAL was probably taken to Ohio and raised by relatives, since she was married in Morgan Co, OH, 27 Jan 1831 to Josiah KENISON. Her grandmother, Eleanor Margaret HODGES, was living nearby. I would like to hear from anyone related to or having information about this HODGES family. I would also appreciate any information regarding Ruby DUGAL's father and his family (possibly including other children). Thanks. Eva

I ran across this cemetery record in Scioto County, Ohio (Portsmouth area, just across the Ohio River from Kentucky). Does anyone know anything about this family? The dates for Moses are very close to what the records suggest would be the birthdate for Moses, the son of Isham Hodges who died in Henry (now Franklin) County, Va. in 1782. He would have been born Jan. 6, 1769 according to the cemetery record. When he enlisted in the army on Jan. 14, 1814, he gave his age as 44. Ransom possibly could have been a son. There was a Ransom Hodges in Giles County, Virginia in 1815 and in Kanawha County, Virginia in 1818. HODGES, Moses, died 20 January 1838, age 69 years, 14 days; native of Virginia; bur McDermit Cem, Nile twp.

(This might be Massy, widow of Ransom Hodges [q.v.]) ECR1:7 Here is the link: http://www.vernpaul.com/scioto/H.html Here is a link to actual cemetery records on Moses: http://www.scioto.org/Scioto/cemeteries/bolandcem.html Moses Hodges married a Burton but she appears to have been deceased by so he could have remarried. He had a son George who married Elizabeth Flowers August 25, 1808, in Giles County, Va. The George in the record could be the same, or another one. Here are some Hodges Scioto County marriage records http://www.scioto.org/Scioto/marriage/1800-1900/Ho.html In the 1820 Census of Scioto County there were two Hodges in Nile Township: Stephen 010001210110 Robert 400100001000 In the 1830 Census of Scioto County there are three Hodges. Robert 22211 0001101 Ransom 011001 21001 Aaron [m 20/30; f 15/21] Stephen is found in Washington Township. Stephen m 70/80 0010101 The names Robert and Aaron are of course the names of two of the other sons of Isham Hodges. I would appreciate any information anyone could shed on this Scioto family, particularly if they are connected to the Franklin County, Va. family. Thanks. Bob Hodges

I also have Hodge ancestors from Pulaski County, GA. Peter Hodge was b. 1822, m. Nancy Hooks in Pulaski in 1844. Peter had 3 brothers, Tom, Bill and John Hodge and a half-brother, Sam Garrett. Their mother was Milly Hodge b. abt 1786 in SC. I have never been able to identify who their father was. They were in the Pulaski County census until 1850 and then most of this family relocated to Alachua County, FL. I have found a marriage record for Milly Bell and Archebold Hodge in 1800 in Oglethorpe County, GA but have not been able to identify any of their children, if any. Thanks. Marilyn
