Hello Sherie Hodges, My name is Elijah Hodges. This request caught my attention because I had a great grand Uncle named John E. A. Hodges. He was born in Martinstown, Putnam, MO between 25 Dec 1861. He married Mary Josephine Bailey 26 Dec 1882. He died in Salt Lake City Utah 1 Jan 1913, no known children. He was 9th of ten children of Gabriel Hodges and Dorothy Conn. I don't think that this is the family you are looking for, but it was a surprise for me to see his name in your request. Elijah Michael & Sherie Hodges wrote: The story in this family goes like this: 2 brothers came to America from England, not on the Mayflower but almost immediately thereafter. Both settled in GA. One brother died childless. The other brother populated the US with his offering, therefore, anyone who can trace back to the surviving brother is related. Only one problem, I can't find out who either brother is. I am researching in my husband's family. Very little is known about the ancestors according to the living children. My father-in-law, Vernon was born in the early 1920's in AR. His father Clyde, had at least 2 brothers, Claude and Ross but the rest escapes me now. They all lived in AR. Clyde m. Ethel Debow who had 2 brothers & 2 sisters. Clyde's parents were John R Hodges and Margaret Goad. There are many Goad's in AR. There is some dispute over John's father's name, it could be E.A. Hodges. Does anyone have anything that might connect with this sparse amount of information? Is so, please email me. Sherie Hodges

Hello list, Since I am researching one of ancestors that came over with James Edward Oglethorpe in the year 1734. I would like to ask this list if anybody has ever come across the passenger list of the "ANNE"? If not, where could I obtain a copy of it. Some people say it exist-some say it does not exist. Any help in this area is appreciated. Thank-You.

The Cherokee nation at the time of removal was pretty well mixed genetically. It is said that some of my relatives on the way from Georgia to the west became white and stayed in Mississippi. Circumstantial evidence for this story is that some persons from this same family line latter went to Oklahoma and claimed land as Indian (Choctaw/Cherokee). J. Sims

Hi Diana- thanks for responding. I was trying a long shot here. I am looking for parents of John J. HODGES (my greatgrandfather). My grandfather's name is COLEMAN HODGES. I have looked through all the web sites, and have come up with nothing. I was hoping that there might be a connection between Elvina COLEMAN Collins Hodges and my COLEMAN Hodges. Any info appreciated. Thank you, DeeDee

In a message dated 99-08-10 22:57:21 EDT, you write: << My understanding is that Georgia was largely settled by convicts or those in the prisons in England.

Anyway, the English wanted to get rid of their prison population so they released many of them if they agreed to go to their colonies. >> Some persons were sent that were prisoners but not the majority. Many came from SC/NC and VA. The Colonial and Revolutionary Periods In 1732, the British philanthropists James Oglethorpe and John Percival (1683-1748) secured a royal charter to establish a colony in the area, providing for a board of trustees to govern it. The early settlers included many English debtors, but also Scots, Germans, Swiss, and some German Jews. Oglethorpe arrived with the first group and founded Savannah in 1733. The British desired a buffer between South Carolina and the Spanish in Florida and the French in Louisiana. Georgia served this purpose well. It did not begin to prosper economically, however, until the charter expired in 1753, and economic growth became pronounced after the appointment of James Wright (1716-85) as royal governor in 1760. Relations between the colonists and the Indians were generally friendly, and slavery was prohibited until 1749. Although loyalty to the British crown was strong in Georgia, the colony joined the American Revolution and sent representatives to the Second Continental Congress. The British seized Savannah in 1778, but guerrilla fighters prevented them from gaining control of the interior, and they evacuated the state in 1782. Disputes with the Federal Government After the Revolution, Georgia supported a strong central government and was one of three states to ratify the Constitution unanimously. This popular support, however, did not prevent conflict with the new national government. Georgia claimed virtually all of what is now Mississippi and much of Alabama, and granted this territory to private land companies. These grants (the Yazoo Land Frauds) were declared invalid in 1800 by the U.S. Congress. Georgia agreed in 1802 to cede these lands to the U.S. and received a federal commitment to remove the Indians to the West. After a series of constitutional squabbles involving the state, the president of the U.S., and the U.S. Supreme Court, by 1838 the Creeks and Cherokees were largely removed from Georgia, thus opening up vast new cotton lands that were quickly settled by whites. Hope this helps in everyone's research. Margie

Hello Group - I am looking for a possible connection of George Washington HODGES married to Elvina COLEMAN COLLINS on 25 Feb 1866 in Tattnall, GA. (info found on LDS web site) My greatgrandfather's name is John J. HODGES born 1870 in Alabama, and my grandfather's name is Coleman HODGES. Thanks, DeeDee

My Hodges line: Abel Hodges (1775-3 Oct 1843) married Charlotte Harrell (about 1795) daughter of Hardy and Barbary Harrell...on 1 Aug 1811 in Jefferson County Ga. They lived and raised a family of 8 in Washington County Ga. Their children were: Augustus George Washington Hodges, Elizabeth Hodges, Abel H. Hodges, Barbara Hodges, Sarah R. Hodges, Mary E.P. Hodges, Lemuel A. Hodges, and Charlotte Hodges. Augustus George Washington Hodges (1813-1879) married Ann C. Avant on 15 Dec 1846 in Wash. Co. Ga. Their children were: Morgan Augustus, Rebecca, John Richard, Mary, Abel, Robert, and Jessie. Morgan Augustus Hodges( 1847-1924) married Emma J. Reese on 10 dec 1871 and had 7 children: William A., Clarence Elbert, Walter Lee, Oscar S. Charles S., Minnie J. and Leonidas. Clarence Elbert was my grandfather. There were the following marriages in Jeff. Co Ga about the same time leading me to think that these were siblings of Abel. Elias Hodges Jr. to Sarah Gilliam 18 Jul 1811 Laird Fleming to Jemima Hodges 7 Nov 1814 Richard Hodges to Elizabeth Jordan 5 Jul 1823 Sarah C. Hayley to George C. Hodges 18 Aug 1823. I do know that Laird Fleming and Jemima moved into Alabama. The name Hodges is used in the line that I follow; however, I have found reference in some writings which refer to Mr. A G W Hodge farm. (Mr. Augustus George Washington Hodge(s)) Perhaps this Hodge/Hodges evolved over time or maybe referred to more than one Hodge?? Who knows. If you have connections....would love to hear from you.

I believe that Georgia ( one of the thirteen original colonies) was established in 1733. My Hodges family is found in Georgia as early as 1811, and my Hood family came to Georgia in 1788.
