I too was thinking of the civil war actually, the RECONSTRUCTION period. The most horrendous time for the South. What a hard time to be born in. My ancestors in North Alabama near the TN border had been under occupation by the Yankee Army for most of the War and some 12 years after. Records were destroyed in many counties. I have brickwalls ends in Jackson, Madison, Limestone, & Lawrence Cos. AL. All of their crops were destroyed, all their farm animals taken; Alabama had to come from scratch after the war. Many lost everything they had. Many lost husbands and sons in the War. Among a lot of things that occured was the taxes levied on Alabama citizens to the New Federal Government to pay for the war. It was so bad that NY abt 1875 finally protested, "Taxation without Representation was unconstitutional". This was 10 years after the war. Many lost their land to Northern carpetbaggers because they could not pay the taxes. There were many who moved away, a lot moved to Texas. Those who stayed fought the oppresion or each other. During the War some Alabamians were on the Union side. This caused a great rift in families. I have one cousin who aided and abeted the Yankees invaders. Records show claims for compensation made by them after 1865. Needless to say they were ostrasized by loyal Confederates. josie At 10:08 AM 09/10/1999 -0500, you wrote: >The Civil War was 1861 - 1865.

The Civil War was 1861 - 1865. If your John James Hodges was born about 1871, he was not dodging that conflict. He may have been elgible for the Spanish-American war of 1898. I doubt that he was a draft-doger. Just remember that if your ancestors did something great and wonderful, it does not make you great and wonderful and by the same token, if they were horse theives or something terrible, you are not responsible for their actions. You can only be responsible for you. When I got a copy of my Dennis Newton Hodges Civil War record from the MS Dept of History and Archives, I was happy that he served as a 2nd LT in the 10th MS Cav until one of his roll calls or musters show him as a deserter. He had been captured by the Yankees and spent the last part of the war in a Yankee POW camp in Beaufort. Before 1900, most states kept no vital records but the 13 original states had some cities and counties that did. If the family's church affiliation is known, you may find a birth record in some church records. I got a lot of info on my Baptist Hodges through the SW Seminary archivest in Fort Worth, Texas. If you want the address, I can furnish.

Hopefully, someone new to the list will see this, and end my dead-end! I am searching for the family of William Pointer Hodges. He was born in Hart Co., Kentucky in 1875. His father's name is supposed to be Sam William, and his mother's Mary Gibson. He married Eliza Catherine Shelton, and they moved to Kansas in the early 1900's, where my grandmother was born. The only place other than Hart and Larue counties that I could get her to give me was that her parents had moved from Magnolia. I have found nothing on any of the family, other than that Eliza is connected to the Puckett family. I have extensive information there.

Hi DeeDee, This was the only thing that I found close. I located an Elizabeth Messer but she was married to a William Hodges in Va.. HODGES, Mary L (F).................... B: 15 May 1865 Father: John HODGESS Conecuh, Alabama Mother: Ellen E. MESSER [ maybe the initial E. is Eliza? ] As to the death certificate, when my wife's Grandfather died his daughter-in-law supplied the information. She not only didn't know the names of his parents but she put down the wrong place of birth. In my line of Hodge, my G-Gpa apparently didn't much care for his father and would not list his name on any records. There were many reasons for wrong or incomplete info.

For John James Hodges ( bn 1871 AL- 1955 -Ms) Know that Al is a large state but if you knew where they were and married and lived I would try and locate him in the 1900 Census or 1910 which are both abailable it may be possible on the marraiage cit for John & and Hannah his parents will be listed along with hers. We haf this happen on my Nelson Wilmoth line and his wife is listed is giving the information, she palced on the cit (bn Vincent Ohio) mother unknown- Father unknown , but to beat all the census from 1870 to 1900 are having hin born in either Ny and states F(bn) ny M[bn]ny -So he may be hiding something , or that is the conclusion that we have came up with anyway- We cannot even locate any brothers or sister to this person-- Have you been able to find brothers and sisters of you JOHN JAMES HODGES----- this might prove a valuable Key... Just a few thought on what might help--and a possible other senerio, Chrusty Hodges Right now I have nothing to help either, but will keep my eyes open.

Hello Group - Would love the address for the Baptist SW Seminary Archives in Texas. I will research any and all possible avenues to find my HODGES. I have been told that My greatgrandparents did not attend church, but I do know that a few of my "John's" sons were Masons (?), or Order of the Mason (?), they had mason rings. Does anyone know any information about Masons? thanks, DeeDee

Thanks alot group. I do hope my ggrandfather really is a HODGES, because this group is wonderful and the best. I did receive the info again that I had accidently "deleted". Thank You. thank you. thank you., etc......... DeeDee

Hello Group- After reading your emails today and yesterday I have learned that whoever fills out the application for the deceased can put any info on the certificate that they want to. Silly of me, I thought the info would have to be verified. Now I am extremely discourage/paranoid. If what ya'll said is true, he might not have even been born in Alabama, considering he gave different birth dates, and would not give any family info. I questioned my grandmother as to when her father-n-laws birthday was, she said no one knew to celebrate his birthday. HELP! If he made up his name do you think his wife would make up her name also? DeeDee

Hello Group- I printed all of your messages this morning concerning John James HODGES. When I got to the email message about an Ellen (?) MESSER being married to a HODGES, I got so excited that I clicked "delete" instead of "print". SORRY! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can someone resend the message to me. I had looked at all the 1870 censuses in Alabama because my John James HODGES told one child that he was born in late October 1870, when I received his death certificate his birth date is listed as Aug 1871. My grandfather, the youngest of John HODGES' children (now deceased) was told when he asked anything about John HODGES' relatives "Boy, you don't need to know anything, and don't ask me again". My grandfather just assumed that John was born in Alabama. His death certificate confirmed that. I am so discouraged because I have two different birth years from him, no clue where in Alabama he might have been born. I find it inconceivable that no one knew either of their parents. My greatgrandmother died at the age of 101 and lived with her children for almost 30 years after John HODGES died, and still no family members knew any of their past. Could it be that my greatgrandfather's name really wasn't HODGES, that that was a name he made up because he was trying to hide something? I do have information that John HODGES got married in Lamar Co, MS IN 1892. Mississippi State does not have marriage records back that far, we have even tried looking in the Archives. His wife Hannah DOBSON just lists her birth as in Mississippi. As far as brothers and sisters, he never would tell anyone if he had any or not. My grandfather never heard or met anyone from either of his parents. I did notice on his death certificate that he never served in the Armed Forces, do you think he was a draft dodger? I don't know the dates of the Civil War. What could he be trying to hide for his wife to keep a secret to her death bed for over 100 years? Suggestion/any help appreciated. Thanks, DeeDee

Deedee - I understand how you feel. I have received death certificates of people where the child who gave the info about their parents & grandparents did not know their names. It is inconceivable to me. But just recently I had an aunt who died and her daughter did not know anything about her grandmother. She should have asked me. I don't think that the lack of knowledge has anything to do with the marital status. Remember you were dealing with very elderly people here and most of their family referred to them as Grandpaw or Grandma and many did not even remember their given names. Muchless a woman's maiden name. Good luck.

Hi Dee Dee, not necessaryly not married. when the death certificate was filled out, who ever gave the info at the time, did not know his father's name. They gave whatever info they knew. You have a clue there. interesting they did know his mothers name - i would start looking for MESSER. She may have lived with them before she died and told someone in the family her name. They may be in the census records living close by. good luck, josie At 10:34 PM 09/09/1999 EDT, you wrote: >Hello Group- > >It has been a while since I have posted my query.

Hello Group- It has been a while since I have posted my query. Today I received the Death Certificates on John James HODGES (1871 AL - 1955 MS) married to Hannah DOBSON (1870 - 1972). Needless to say I was depressed to find only one parent on John's death certificate, and none listed on his wife's. John James HODGES' father was listed as (Unknown) HODGES, and his mother's maiden name is ELIZA MESSER. Has anyone heard of Eliza MESSER? I had a suggestion that my John HODGES might be a descendant of Fleming HODGES, or a descendant of the Lawrence Co, Alabama HODGES. Question: If a death certificate from 1955 states that the father's first name was unknown does that mean that the mother and the father might not have been married? Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you. I have looked everywhere, and there are hundreds of John HODGES listed in the 1870 census in Alabama. DeeDee Baton Rouge, LA
