A dragoon is a type of cavalryman. Originally dragoons were soldiers trained to ride horses to battle and then dismount to fight. Their name came from the type of musket that they carried. Later they evolved into purely cavalry, not as heavily armed as "horse", but not lightly armed like hussars. The British Army developed a form of light cavalry ("light" and "heavy" refer to the size of the men and the horses; light cavalry was used mostly for scouting and screening movements of the army, heavy cavalry for massed charges) called light dragoons. These are really what the cavalry in the American Revolution were.

AM LOOKING FO INFORMATION ON HODGES IN STUEBEN COUNT INDIANA ROBY MARRIED A JOHN GRANT

Christine, The Olivia Gage that was married to my William Hodges was the daughter of Benjamin Gage (born 1803 died 6 Jan 1858) and Sarah Elizabeth Harrell(born 1802 Ga died 9 March 1874). On August 3, 1838 Benjamin Gage received a second class patent #24 for land in Shelby County, Texas. Quoting the Gage family history Benjamin was born in South Carolina or Kentucky. He came to Texas from Indiana. He traveled through Kentucky, on to Tennessee and from Tennessee to Texas. He is in the 1850 Alabama census? His first three children were born in Alabama. I have not researched the Gage family yet, so this is all I have. I do know that Benjamin and Elizabeth are buried in the Hoover Cemetery along with a lot of their children. Elizabeth Gage is in the 1860 Upshur County, Texas census along with 5 children and one grandchild. Danny Sorrells

Hi All, I am attending a Hodges reunion next week and am still looking for the William C. Hodges line that was in Upshur County, Texas in the 1870 -1910 census. William was born according to the census in May 1932 and was married to Mary E. Mings first, and then married Melinda Cox second. Melinda Cox was born in March 1865 and was the daughter of Asbury Cox and Olivia Gage. If you look at the earlier census it looks like William was born in 1835. I think the middle initial is a C in the census? There is also a Charles Hodges living next to William in the 1870 census. By the way William shows to be from SC. He is connected to the Humphries I know, and others say William is from the Abbeville, William Hodges line of 1795, but I can't prove this. I have a gut fealing that my William is in the 1850 Union County, SC census as the children of Charles Humphries age 22 and Martha age 27 and is shown as a Humphries? Help if you can. Thanks Danny Sorrells P.S. - William Hodges is my Great Grandfather.

Need information on John W. Hodges born in Pike County MO about 1833. He married Rachel Hodge her parents came from Tenn.They went to Conway County Arkansas about 1850. John and Rachel had 3 children, William H, John R. and Frances J. (Fanny). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Andrea Hodges
