I would appreciate help from anyone on the list with further suggestions and insights into the Robert Hodges of the late 1700's. My examination of the available records seems to suggest that there were two Robert Hodges in late 1700's South Carolina; one predominately in the eastern part of the state, one in the west. The western Robert Hodges was probably the brother of Elias Hodges and the uncle of Drury, lived in Granville County, SC where he served in the militia during the Revolutionary War, and had moved into Georgia relatively early, i.e. by 1785. It has been suggested by John Harrell that this group may have been descended from Elias Sr., son of Robert Hodges and Ann Branch, based on Elias Jr.'s will being witnessed by a Daniels, and Pitt County records suggesting that Elias Sr. was grandfather of John Daniels of Greenville, S.C. Bob Hodges has produced records, however, suggesting that some of the Hodges in the Greenville, S.C. area at that time could also have been from the Virginia/Cumberland North Carolina Hodges line. The eastern Robert Hodges seems to have lived in and around Marlboro County and the Georgetown District; he was still living in Georgetown District in the 1790 census, near James and Joseph Hodges. This was probably the Robert who served as a sergeant in Marion's Brigade in eastern S.C. during the Revolution; the following record suggests that this was the same Robert Hodges who is listed in DAR records as having married Mary Lide: (Welsh Neck Baptist is in present day Marlboro County): AN ABSTRACT OF THE RECORDS OF WELSH NECK BAPTIST CHURCH SOCIETY HILL, S.C. A List of the members of the Church 1775-1778-1779 26. Welcome Hodges .... 57. Robert Hodges 58. John Hodges .... 105. Elizabeth Hodges ...... 110. Elizabeth Lide ..... 171. Mary Lide ...... 184. Rebekah Hodges This Robert living in Marlboro County, SC would make you want to believe that he was either a later son of Richard Hodges, son of Robert Hodges and Ann Branch; or perhaps more likely a son of Richard's son John, who is known to have settled in Marlboro County. However, the possible association of this Robert with Welcome Hodges in the Welsh Neck records might also make you wonder if he was not of the Robert Hodges/Ann Branch line, but that perhaps Bob's theory that some of these Marlboro County Hodges could have been from a different line, perhaps originating in Virginia and Cumberland County, NC; Bob's suggestion that some of them could have been from Robert Hodges of Franklin County, Virginia is particularly interesting. There was another Robert Hodges; who was still living in Pitt County, NC as late as 1802. It has been suggested by John Harrell that this Robert was a brother of Howell, John Jr., and Henry, and son of John Sr., (son of Robert Hodges and Ann Branch), and the records would certainly seem to suggest this, although I haven't found a record that directly states this. So that is a summary of the three main Robert Hodges in question after Robert Hodges and Ann Branch in the late 1700's. I would appreciate any further help or input on them. Jeff Armstrong

Thanks Lynda and Gerry for your replies; I had been wondering who the brother of Robert and Elias could have been that was the father of Drury; your suggestion that it could have been Able seems like a good one. I haven't been able to find much on Drury Hodges in Georgia; I wonder if in the following record, Drury "Hobbs" could really be Drury Hodges: From the book "Records of Washington County, Georgia" compiled by Marie De Lamar and Elisabeth Rothstein; page 3; Headright and Bounty Grants, Washington County: Hodge, Robert 1785 Hodges, Redding 1841 Hoges, Lemuel 1818 page 26; List of persons living in Washinton County who registered for the drawing-1805 lottery Persons entitled to draw Bachelor 21 years or older, one year residence 1 draw in Georgia, citizen of US Married man, with wife and/or child, one year residence 2 draws in Georgia and citizen of US Widow with minor child, one year residence in Georgia 2 draws Minor orphan, or family of minor orphans, with father dead 1 draw and mother dead or re-married Drury Hobbs one blank, one prize ....

Well Gang - I have the following Hodges books: 1. "Genealogical Record of The Hodges Family of New England, Ending December 31, 1894, Third Edition. Compiled by Almond D. Hodges, Jr. and other members of the family. Printed for the family by frank H. Hodges 1896. I ordered mine from the Higginson Co. whose address is not shown in the book but you could probably find it on google.com. 2. Hodges Family History put out by the American Genealogical Research Institute. Heritage Press, Inc. Washington, D.C. 1978 and I purchased it at a seminar at the Houston Genealogical Forum but you can order it through American Genealogical Research Institute, 1235 Kenilworth avenue, N.E., Washington D. C. 20019. 3. Another book good for HODGES that are mostly Southern is Moragnes In america and related families compiled by Nell Hodges Howard and Bessie W. Quinn published by Banner Press in Birmingham, Alabama. I wrote Banner Press & they were out of their copies but I wrote Mrs. Yielding in Birmingham (the daughter of Nell Hodges Howard who is now deceased) & bought a copy from her for $25.00. You might check the "Used & Out-of-Print" sections of Amazon.com or BN.com but I like to search Abebooks.com. Happy hunting. These are excellent books for your library whether you are lucky enough to have southern or "Yankee" heritage. I feel confident that my first American ancestor came through Virginia and that's fine with me.

Hi Frannie, I remember your additions to the list on several occasions. What can you tell us, briefly, about the lines of Hodges that came out of New England? How many of them went south? One of my side theories is that my Richard, or his father came south from New England for some reason. When we were thinking that his name was John it was easier to speculate that his line came south from New England. However my father, grandfather, and apparantly my great-grandfather all believed that our line is Scotch Irish and came to America through the Virginia Company. We all appreciate the work you are doing.

Hi Graham: While I'm not familiar with the JONES families of your inquiry, we DO, however, have a JONES family connection. There is no doubt the connection is either thru the HODGES or the DuBOSE line as we know, from our research, it isn't our Flemming line. In one of the letters, dated 1839, Laird B. Flemming wrote to his daughter Jane B. Flemming Buchanan he mentions that Uncle Abram Jones died. Well I have placed Abram Jones in Conecuh County in 1830. There is another Abram Jones residing in Greene County, AL, near the DuBose cousins, children Isaac DuBose, son of Peter DuBose II and his wife Sarah. In 1840 Abram Jones is no longer there, but there is, I seem to recall, a Thomas Jones, which is most probably a son of Abram Jones. An, thus far, the only HODGES line that I have seen that comes close to matching the time and names is that of Henry Hodges (the one associated with the Manner House), brother of Elias Hodges, d. 1767. Henry had both a son named William Hodges that reportedly died in 1808 (although I haven't seen any proof) and a daughter Elizabeth. Peter Dubose II left a will in Baldwin County, GA, which is where his son James DuBose lived. James DuBose m. 1783 Elizabeth Hodge(s). Peter DuBose II (son of Peter I and Magdalene) identifies his daughter Elizabeth as Elizabeth Hodges. The will is a most important piece of documentation. It, together with the fact that James DuBose moved to Conecuh County to reside very near Elias Hodges. He then married Dorcas Redd and had two daughters. We know from one of Laird B. Fleming's letter to daughter Jane that Aunt Darkiss DuBose married secondly, about 1838, Archibald Glidewell. That in February of 1839, Aunt Darkiss DuBose gave birth to twins, on dead at birth, and the other shortly thereafter. Archibald Glidewell was first married 6 October, 1808 Elizabeth Jones in Greene County, GA. We also know that Elizabeth DuBose Hodges, wife of William ELIAS Hodges, died in 1835. This bit of information is contained in two separate letters to Wilson G. Buchanan. In a letter, dated 1835, Jane B. Flemming wrote to Wilson G. Buchanan, before their marriage, she says" Grandma Hodges is dead." We also know from a letter that Jane received from a Miss Hodges (can't recall her name off the top of my head and will have to dig it out) who lived in Washington County, GA, that the Hodges of Washington County, GA are related to the family of Elias Hodges I Conecuh County, AL who had migrated from Jefferson County, GA. Now, after looking back at my notes, Abel H. Hodges was born in 1773; our Elias Hodges between 1760-1770. So it would appear that they are either brothers or cousins. Something is rattling around in the back of my head that Abel H. Hodges of Washington County, GA is connected to Henry Hodges. So, if we keep sharing information and peeling the layers we might find the threads that tie our folks together. Happy days to all. Kaye

Recent info on Elias Hodges brought out the name DuBose. Can anyone relate to the Henry DuBose residing in the house of Simeon and Civility Jones, June 1860, Black Dirt, Levy, Florida?

Ken: Yes, Eleanor and I share a common interest in this Hodges line and try to keep each other up to date of our findings. He late husband and I share mutual ancestry as descendants of Elias Hodges through his daughter Jemima D. Hodges Flemming. Eleanor, on the other hand, enjoys a direct line from the HODGES which lived around the Savannah area. Thanks for thinking of us and I appreciate your assistance in providing her email address to ensure we could collaborate. Kaye

Do you know Eleanor Colson > EleanorCol@aol.com > in Katy, Texas? She seems to be tracing your same lines. I have some of her info on file and if you don't have it, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Hi Stephanie, I recently found a tidbit that might be helpful to you. I didn't know until a recent item I found that the family of Elias Hodges, whom we have been talking about in recent posts, apparently settled in Tattnall County, Georgia after Elias' death in Effingham County, Georgia. So that might suggest a possible ancestry for your William Henry Hodges. Compare the following record: From the book "Georgia Intestate Records" by Jeanette Holland Austin, p. 151: "Hodges, Elias, dec'd, of Granville Co., S.C., LWT dtd. 8/19/1779, proved 10/25/1800, leaves cousin Drury Hodges 16 cattle, etc; to Mary, wife exrs.; wife Mary, and bro. Robert Hodges; Effingham Co. (Georgia) miscellaneous records. with the following: From the book: "Genealogical Material From Legal Notices in Early Georgia Newspapers" abstracted by the late Judge Folks Huxford (page49); from the Newspaper "The Columbian Museum and Savannah Advertiser, 1796-1818: Tattnall County: Mary Hodges applies for letters testementary and for probate of will of Elias Hodges, dec'd., Sept. 4, 1804 I hope this helps.

Hi... I am seeking any additional information on William Henry Hodges who was the son of Irvin (or Irwin) Jackson Hodges and Mary McDilda. William was born 29 SEP 1851 in Tattnall Co, GA and died 21 JAN 1939. This much I found on Ancesty.com and he was buried Hodges Cemetery, Hagan, Evans Co, GA. William married Dean (Jane) Goodbred(Goodbreed) and they had some children.... I am looking for any additonal information on this family....I found them in the census....but from what I found, it looks like they had more children then what is recorded on ancestry.com and familysearch.org. I would appreciate if someone who has more information on this family. Is there anyone out that could help me in my quest for additonal information??? I am looking for the names of the children they had and whatever else there is on this family.... Thank you for any help and I appreciate any help also.... Stephanie Grohol

We believe this family > traces back to Richard and Robert. > Do you have more information on the Henry Hodges (1720-1802) and William > Hodges (1760-1808)? > Joyce Hi Annette and Joyce; A quick look through my stuff revealed the following: On Henry Hodges: I didn't readily find anything on Henry in Georgia right away; I did find a headright grant to an "H.B. Hodges in Bulloch County in 1861. I did find a few South Carolina references to Henry Hodges; (don't know if it's yours); "Early PeeDee Settlers" by John M. Gregg lists Henry Hodges, spouse Lydia, died 1757 Craven County; minor son Richard Hodges. There are numerous references to Henry Hodges Sr. and Jr. in the Pitt County, NC records on Sandy Hodges' page at: http://www.powow.com/sandyhodges/genea/PITT/PittDI.htm#Hodges%20family On William Hodges, I found 14 Georgia headright and bounty grants to William Hodge and Hodges, the earliest in 1788 to William Hodge in Wilkes County; the others in Madison, Tattnall, Effingham, Camden, Liberty, and Screven Counties. These are listed in the book "Index to the Headright and Bounty Grants of Georgia". I've been in contact with a Glenda Hodges descended from a William Hodges born 1813 who lived in Twiggs initially, later Sumter County. Thanks what I could turn up quickly; hope some of this helps.

Dear Listers: I forgot to include an important fact. My Elias Hodges was born 1760-1770. The wife of Elias Hodges, Elizabeth DuBose, died in Conecuh County, AL in the year 1835. Elias Hodges died between 1840-1850. Both 1830 & 1840 Conecuh County Census records reflect he was born sometime between 1760-1770. James DuBose m. Elizabeth Hodge(s) was also born 1760-1770, per 1830 Conecuh County, AL Census. Joyce Feazell wrote: Do you have more information on the Henry Hodges (1720-1802) and William Hodges (1760-1808)? Joyce My QUESTION, what is the PROOF that William Hodges b. 1760 died in 1808? I would appreciate it if someone would point me in the direction of the verifiable source of his death in 1808. My William ELIAS Hodges was born 1760-1770 NC believed to have married Elizabeth DuBose in SC. i. Elias Hodges, Jr. was born 1788-1790 in SC ii. Richard Hodges was born 1788 - 1791 in SC iii. Jemima D. Hodges was born 10 March 1794 SC or GA - d. 11 Dec. 1884 Santa Rosa County, FL Burial Milton Cemetery iv. James D. Hodges was born 1790-1800 SC or GA v. George C. Hodges was born 1798 - 1799 in SC or GA vi. Pulaski Pinkney Hodges was born 1 August, 1813 in GA - d. 5 July, 1895 Falls Co., TX vii. Homer Virgil Hodges was born 1817 GA - 1866-1870 Falls County, TX (served in CSA, TX) Although we can't define exactly how yet, we learn from letters written by Laird B Fleming to his daughter, Jane B. Fleming Buchannan, that the HODGES family is somehow related to a FLOYD family. There are several FLOYD families resident in Alabama Counties, Conecuh, Covington and Butler.. Someone was called Aunt Hearty, who may have been married to a Mr. Floyd, died in 1839. Elizabeth DuBose HODGES, wife of William ELIAS Hodges wife, died in Conecuh Co., AL in the year 1835. Am hoping that someone on the list may have some little unknown bit of information that will assist us in accurately placing our William ELIAS Hodges with his parents. Thanks Kaye Watts Collier
