It is said that my family came from the S.C. area and I would be thankful for any leads to the brothers Shadrack- Meshack and Abendego Hodges. Shadrack is my ggg-grandfather. I would also like to know if this family is related to the Jesse Hodges who was a surveyor from 1777-1786 at Fort Booneborough. I know that my Moore line was there and would like to prove the Hodge line. Contact me at wmoore@cinci.rr.com Thank you.

Hi Bob, You are probably correct about the land being in South Carolina. I had forgotten there were Craven and Granville Counties in SC prior to 1769. 1682 Berkeley Area around Charleston; combined with Colleton County in 1769 to form Charleston District; separated from Charleston in 1882 Colleton Area south of Berkeley County to the Combahee River; combined with Berkeley County in 1769 to form Charleston District; separated from Charleston in 1880 Craven Area north of Berkeley County to the North Carolina border 1686 Granville Area south of Colleton County to the Georgia border This Francis couldn't be the one that Kathy was hunting anyway, too young. I'd sure like to find someone who can claim him though. He was probably related to my Francis Hodge (b. 1745) who was also from Co. Antrim, N.I.

I think that the Craven and Granville Counties mentioned in connection with Francis Hodges whocame to South Carolina in 1768 are the South Carolina counties rather than the North Carolina ones. Lord Granville's part ofNorth Carolina was generally referred to as the Granville District (when the North Carolina proprietors sold their interests to the Crown in 1729, Lord Granville kept his part;that is the 60-mile wide strip). Craven County, North Carolina, was created in 1712, and exists today with itscounty seat at New Bern. Granville County, North Carolina, was created in 1746, and also exists today with itsseatat Oxford. South Carolina's history is more complex, with its districts and counties. Here is a link: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/sc_countyhistories.html My point is that whatFrancis got was a warrant (right) to take up 300 acres of land. That land was more likely in South Carolina than North Carolina.

Elijah and Kathy, The board does seem a bit quiet lately so it might be interesting to dig around the earliest Hodge/s to see if we might discover something new. 1. Kathy, you mention "John Carruthers (a merchant of New Bern, NC) and Content????" Content was John's wife. [ Item. I give unto my well beloved Wife, Content Carruthers, the Labar or Sarvis of one Negro woman cald Enow, dewring the time of her, ye sd. Content Carruthers, her Natril life, and at her Decese I Give and Bequeath the fore sd. Negro woman cald Enow, to Rebekah McCarthy, to her and her Heirs for Even.] src. JOHN CARRUTHERS WILL (1751), Craven Co.,NC **possible Francis Hodges** Francis Hodge (age 29) arrived in South Carolina on Tuesday, 5 January 1768 from Belfast, Northern Ireland. His wife, Elizabeth (age 28), Robert (age 8), Alexander (age 6), and John (age 4) arrived with him. He was granted a petition for warrant of survey for 300 acres in Granville or Craven County as a bounty. These counties were in "The Province of Carolina", Granville was the northern area of N.C. and Craven was in SE N.C.. Granville was 66 miles wide and extended from Hattaras to the Pacific Ocean. Dobbs Co., N.C. 1780 tax list; Francis Hodges 400 acres in current Lenoir Co.. Francis also mentioned in list of voters in 1779. In Council Journal, 1743-1750, Francis listed on P118 in Craven Co. on 4/11/1745. Francis Hodges land patent Beaufort Co., N.C. 17 November 1738. (see page 335 Vol. IV Colonial Records of N.C.) Francis Hodges Chowan Co., N.C. proved rights... 11 April 1745. (see page 766 ibid.) The Francis who received land in Beaufort in 1738 apparently moved to Craven Co. prior to 11 April 1745. He was the Francis who served in the R.W. and may have been the one who was living in Martin Co., N.C. at the 1790 census. Elijah, I have some info on the John from Jamestown you mentioned. I don't believe that anyone has a descendancy chart of John. My info says that he was killed in the 1622 massacre along with his wife, Mary. Supposedly they had a young son who may have escaped but I've seen nothing listed about him. According to an old history book, many of the men were in outcamps on the James River when the attack occured. The attack was suspected and John Jr. may have been sent away to protect him.

I am also interested in early VA Hodges'. I am looking for any mention of my ancestor, Francis Hodges or his possible ancestors. Several genealogies (from others) on this line show my Francis Hodges b. abt. 1715 in Martin Co., NC???; died abt. 1794, and married Frances Carruthers of Craven Co., NC, dau. of John Carruthers (a merchant of New Bern, NC) and Content???? A son of Francis Hodges and Frances Carruthers was: Joshua Hodges (my line) b. Oct. 13, 1736 Dobbs Co., NC? d. Mar 5 1809 Bulloch Co., GA Married abt 1760 in NC: Ann Raiford b. abt 1738 New Bern, NC d. abt 1800 Bulloch Co., GA Other possible children of Francis Hodges & Frances Carruthers: Francis Hodges, Jr. Hardy Hodges Richard Hodges John Hodges I have seen nothing on the parents or siblings of this Francis Hodges b. abt 1715, but wonder if he may have Virginia connections. It's possible that family members may have traveled back & forth between VA & NC and/or my original Francis may have an incorrect birth place. A Francis Hodges was mentioned in the probate of the estate of William Teas, Robt. Love, executor, dated 1778 in Agusta Co., VA. A Francis Hodges in the 1783 Carolina Co., VA Personal Property Listing. Other records of Norfolk Co., GA and Agusta Co., VA also mention these Hodges names: James Hodges (deed - Feb 5, 1748 Norfolk Co., VA) Benjamin Hodges (deed-Feb 5, 1748 Norfolk Co., VA) Benjamin Hodges m. to Courtney Hodges b. 20 Dec 1751 (Norfolk Co., VA marriages) Elizabeth Hodges possibly m. to John McIlvain, surety John Hodges (28 July 1789 Agusta Co., VA) Andrew Hodge possibly m. to Isabella Meteer, surety John Hodges, father of Andrew. (5 Sept 1791 Agusta Co., VA) Wm. Hodge, surety for Sally Hodge (& David Kirkhead) dau. of John Hodge, dec'd & sister to Wm. Hodge, of age. (14 Oct 1800 Agusta Co., VA) Jonathon Hodge, orphan of Elizabeth Hodge (17 June 1752 Agusta Co., GA) All information I have seen on this line, prior to their recorded appearance in GA, has been sketchy and contradictory, especially their migration from VA? and NC thru SC to GA.

Elijah - I think Al Metts who used to be on this list did have a chart for this line. I believe that this group went to South Carolina or at least John went to South Carolina. There was a Thomas Hodges who went over the mountains during the Rev. War. He may have first settled in Surry County and then later Watauga County, North Carolina. I have done some research in Watauga Co. in the library (2nd floor) of the Appalachia State University (ASU) in Boone, NC. Can't get to the research right now but I have posted it previously so I know that it is in the archives. Also, if you find it in the archives, I am pretty certain that my email address then was different so no need to reply to that old message. My present email address is one that I have had for a long time and since it is my name I am reluctant to change it. Sounds like you are hitting pay dirt with your research there. Let us know more as you find it.

Hello everyone, I've been studying the history of Jamestown Virginia. It is loaded with Capt. John Smith information, but I was able to find other records. Founding of the Nation The three ships: Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery brought the initial colonists to Jamestowne on May 13, 1607. These are the trio of vessels, which on a dark December night in 1606, sailed down the Thames to arrive on April 26th of the following year on the coast of Virginia. Basic documentary records such as the Census, the Muster, and the Ancient Planters list provide our best records of specific individuals. The two Hodges I found in the Jamestown records are John Hodges, and Thomas Hodges. I was unable to find if they are related, but I believe that they are. I have not had time to investigate their ancestry, but I believe it has been done. I am looking for a list of their descendants because I believe that one, or the other of these two Hodges was the ancestor of my Richard who moved from Virginia in the 1750’s to South Carolina. Family tradition, (unfortunately), says that the family came to America, to Virginia, with the Virginia Company. If anybody has a descendancy chart for these two Hodges it would help. Thanks, Elijah

I am looking for information on 2 sisters, Julia and Sarah Hodges, born cir 1850 in Illinois. Their father was born in New York, mother in Michigan. They were both living in Iowa in 1880 census. Sarah was living with her sister Julia Hodges Coats.

Does any one have a Mary Hodges Born in Georgia, and show up in the Jefferson Co., Alabama Census of 1850 as being 56 years old? This was on the Federal Census in Alabama. I have seen the name being Mary B. Hodges on some of the Census. Thanks for any thing. PeggySue <O'Shields>> GADDIS psueg@bellsouth.net
