Hello Peggy, Southern Missouri, Eastern Tennessee and SC: The best guess is Marlboro (current naming) County SC. Several researchers believe we are related to Isham HODGES Sr. about (1750-1798) Through Henry G. HODGES (1790 SC- 1854 Sevier County TN) One reference is at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysouthernfamily/ I have NOT seen any conformation of the relationship to Isham.

The book "Hodges Family of New England "by Almon Hodges Jr. published in 1894 has 104 William Hodges names. Some of them ended up in Virginia etc. The book has 566 pages [on page 7&8 are very early Hodges names in , Virginia Bermuda , & West Indies ] and mentions some earlier books on the Hodges families,such as Rufus Hodges ,of Cincinnati book of 1837 and Almon Hodges book of 1853. Sounds to me as if some of you should find these books and look at them. Happy hunting Fay

Bob, I think that this Elijah Hodges is the ggggrandfather of an Elijah Hodges who lives in California. He can be found on the Yahoo look-up. I've only talked to him once to see if I could find a relationship, but all he knew is that he was descended from Elijah Hodges his father, his grandfather and all the way back to the 1700's.

Juanita is my 5th cousin. She is a descendant of Isham Hodges' son isham and I am a descendant of Isham Hodges' son Robert. I am also descended from Robert Hodges (d. 1832). His son Elijah married the other Robert's daughter Judith. This is the Franklin County, Virginia, family.

I think Francis comes from a different group, most likely the Isle of Wight family. I have a few earlier records on Francis. 1738 patent in Craven County on the south side of Stoneytown Creek 1738 patent in Craven County on the north side of Neuse River, north side of Stoneytown Creek 1743 patent in Craven County: Neuse River and Stonington Creek 1745 tax list of Craven County 1749 patent in Johnston County, north side of Neuse River, north side of Briery Branch All of these are in the same area (just north and east of Kinston in preent-day Lenoir County, North Carolina). Because this is just a few miles west of the Grindle Creek area of Pitt County where Elias Hodges, son of Robert Hodges of Isle of Wight County, settled, I have always thought Francis was of that family. No proof, but Elias is the first one I would look at for his father.

The rootsweb Melungeon List archives are a good site to search for all mixed blood subject matter. Another way is to search "Black Dutch" in google. An interesting take on the issue is the introduction at the following site: http://www.freeafricanamericans.com/ This is by Paul Heinegg, who has done some fantastic work with these records. He has strong and not always popular views, but you have to respect the scholarship involved. In the archives of this list are some posts dealing with Indian strains in the Hodges family. I am not aware of any such stories in my family (Franklin County, Virginia - we had only made it as far as North Carolina by the time I was born), but there are Choctaw Hodges families. Brent Kennedy, who has studied the Appalachian Melungeons, identifies Isham Hall, whose daughter Susannah married robert Hodges in Franklin County in 1791 as a Melungeon, but I don't see anything to support this. Further down the line with the Hall-Mullins marriages there is a stronger tradition (the Mullins are one of the major Melungeon families). I have toyed around with this issue for a few years without finding anything as regards my Hodges line.

I am sorry I was not clear enough on this. Here are a couple of links. Will of John Hodges http://www.flash.net/~cavis/transcripts/hodge/hodge84.html Samuel Finley as executor: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacumber/finley/aaa-454.html Here is the piece on the William you were referring to: http://www.flash.net/~cavis/newhtml/william_hodge1.html Wills of William and John Hodge in Elbert County, Georgia: http://www.flash.net/~cavis/transcripts/hodge/hodge251.html Other sites on this family http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/l/Donna-Deckard-Hollowell/GEN E2-0001.html?Welcome=1041297212 http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/pbrooks/WmHodge.html http://www.flash.net/~cavis/transcripts/hodge/hodge61.html My point was that the family tradition and the wills (John Hodge's will was probated in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. William's will in Georgia mentions money from Pennsylvania) show that Douglas Fuller's theory that this was the line of William Hodges of Alabama is probably wrong. I don't fault the idea. These people are in the right place (Greenville-Spartanburg area of SC) at the right time (Revolutionary War) with the right names. Another thing that makes me skeptical is that the names used in this family are different from those traditionally seen in our family. An Asa, Isham, or Welcome would be more convincing than the Alexanders and Elliots. The name Johnson Hodges in the Sims Settlement suggested to me that we look back to Goochland for William Hodges' origins. Again, this is an idea that needs more study and development. One thing we see in the Hodges family is that the different family lines will criss-cross, as they do in East Tennessee and Lawrence County, Alabama. A couple of years ago I said I was skeptical that communication was kept up across the Atlantic between Scotch-Irish immigrants and their families back in Ireland. I have continued to read and learn, and now I think I was wrong. The evidence suggets to me that such communication was regular and continuous. I want to link a site that discusses this idea. It mentions the preacher Rev. William Hodge, but it is more important for its discussion of the familial links maintained in Scotch-Irish communities: http://spider.georgetowncollege.edu/htallant/border/bs10/conkin.htm Bob Hodges ----- Original Message ----- From: <SIMSACOMA@aol.com> To: <HODGES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 12:52 AM Subject: [HODGES-L] Wm.

The short answer is, I don't know. I think it makes some sense that Isham would be a brother to Edmund and John, but they were each born in North Carolina, and he was born in between them in Virginia. Of course, my theory is that Thomas, William and John moved back and forth between North Carolina and Virginia, but I think it is peculiar that Philemon Hodges mentioned John and Edmund, but not Isham. I think the most interesting fact on Isham is the record I found from Chatham County, North Carolina. I have never seen this before. I think there is more to be discovered in the Orange/Chatham records. If I had to guess today, I would say that Isham was a younger son of Thomas Hodges. We know that Thomas had a daughter born about 1734. His sons William and Thomas were adults by about 1762 (i.e., born not later than about 1741). The basis for my guess is that Isham sold land in Chatham County, and Thomas owned land that my be in Chatham County. That should be any easy thing to run down in the records. We have these two: Aug. 13, 1765: Bartholomew Tucker to Thomas Hodges sale of 100 acres wit: John Brantley Oct. 1, 1789 Isom Hodge of Marlborough Co., S.C. to Richason Swaner of Chatham Co. for L200 a tract lying on the west side of Rocky River formerly granted to Moses Gin and David Pone 100 acres. Wit. James Lawrence, John Hurly. Chatham Co. (N.C.) Deed Book D, page 616. I will try to see if I can find the Gin and Pone grant in the Hoffman books, or one or more conveyances to Tucker. I have only looked in the published deed abstracts for Cumberland County, North Carolina, and Hoffman's abstracts of the patent and land entry books. One thing I hope these ideas will stimulate people to do is to do more research and post what they find. There is more information out there. Now there is another Hodge family that comes into Orange County about the time of the Revolution, so it may be hard to keep them straight. But we need to get out there and find all the records.

Dear Bob, You mention your cousin, Juanita Patton--what relationship is she to you? Juanita and I are third cousins--our great-grandfathers, Creed Clay Hodges and Daniel Hodges were brothers. In her book she only mentioned four children for Creed Clay Hodges and was not aware of the last two, Thomas, born 1863 and Daniel Franklin, born 1865 in Illinois until I told her. I am trying to find out if Creed's family went somewhere else from Illinois where he is found on the 1870 census, but not after that.

Hi, Bob and other Hodges researchers, I have been following with great interest this thread on your Hodges unified family theory hoping to see the name of Francis Hodges come up in connection with a possible son, John Hodges. I am a direct descendant of Francis Hodges through his son, Joshua. Much has been posted on Francis Hodges' descendants and related families by John R. Peavy and Francis R. Hodges, as well as many others. From what I have been able to gather from this collective research it appears that Francis Hodges, born about 1715 in Martin Co.? (or Dobbs Co.), NC; died abt. 1794-location unknown, married Frances Carruthers, daughter of Wm. Carruthers of Craven Co., NC. (Wm Carruthers, a New Bern, NC merchant who left a will in Craven Co. dated 1751, probated in 1752.) Children of Francis Hodges and Frances Carruthers: Francis Hodges, Jr. Hardy Hodges Richard Hodges John Hodges Joshua Hodges b. 1736, Dobbs Co., NC d. 1809, Bulloch Co., GA; m. Ann Raiford b. abt 1738, New Bern, NC d. abt 1800, Bulloch Co., GA. I would very much like to know the father of Francis Hodges and where this family was located before NC. Some info suggests that the father was also named Francis and that he was known to be in VA, but I have not found any documentation for this so far. What I have so far on a Francis Hodges : Dobbs Co., NC, New Bern 27th Feb. 1773 "Petition of Robert Hamilton for Resurvey of Land". This petition pertains to 200 acres of land purchased by Robert Hamilton from Simon Bright the Younger... "lying in Dobbs Co. on the South side of Stony Town Creek"....."purchased of the said Simon Bright, Sr. as aforesaid, occasioned by an error or mistake of the Surveyors ".......which can be proved by the oath of FRANCIS HODGES, UNCLE to Simon Bright the Younger"........ July 11, 1778 Agusta Co., VA (Chalkley's Chronicles Vol 3, p. 150-159 Abstracts. Will book 6): "Estate of Wm. Teas to Robt. Love, executor"....."paid FRANCIS HODGES for seven days reaping L4.4.0"...... The 1780 Dobbs Co. Tax List (present day Greene and Lenoir Cos., NC) shows FRANCIS HODGES, John Hodges, and Joshua Hodges in the district which later became Lenoir Co.--from Kinston west, but north of Neuse River. 1783 Caroline Co., VA personal property list: Francis Hodges white tythes over 21....1 ditto over 16, under 21....1 negros over 16....2 ditto under 16....4 horses....5 cattle....13 wheels...0 ordinary licenses....0 Between 1748 and 1800 in the VA archives files for the counties of Norfolk and Agusta, I have found several documents that also reference the names James Hodges, Benjamin Hodges, Wm. Hodges, John Hodges, Elizabeth Hodges, Andrew Hodges, and ..."Jacob, Hannah, Rachel, & Jonathan, orphans of Elizabeth Hodges"....(This Elizabeth being a daughter of, or close relative to, a John Hodges). Also a Sally and Andrew who are children of a John Hodges. If and/or how any of these individuals may be related to "my" Francis Hodges still remains in question, except for Hardy Hodges and Joshua Hodges, whose relationship is pretty well documented. In particular the names Richard, Benjamin, Joseph, Hardy, and Joshua are repeated often in the next several generations of descendants of Francis Hodges. Tracing this family from VA through NC and SC and on to GA is very confusing due to the abundance of the same given names within the same time frames, especially in the Carolinas, it seems. I have limited opportunity and experience in doing any first-hand research into colonial records and I also have trouble "interpreting" the text of some of these old documents. Therefore, for the time being at least, I have to be dependent on the diligent and outstanding efforts of yours and others on this list. Please, let's keep this thread going. I feel that somewhere in all these Williams and Johns there is a connection to my Francis. Thanks Bob, and all of you other contributors.

Kathy Hodges McElveen, As you might have seen, I am trying to find my Leroy H. Hodges parents names, Leroy born in 1806 in Laurnes Co., SC.. Can you tell if any of your "John's or Richard's" might have been living in Laurnes Co., SC in 1800, 1810, 18820? As I have said a "John Hodges" living next door to a Richard Hodges was in the county, John according to the Census had a son the right age being born as to be my Leroy but I can not find any one knows anything about this "John". Thanks for any help.

Yep....same in my family, very secretive saying we were Black Dutch and as a 10 year old girl I had no idea what that meant but now I do and don't know where to start searching,..... very hard. Gayle Gayle  and all  List Members, We are not sure about Indian Blood in the Hodges Family,  But , from where they came form I would not be  surprised,  but no  one in the Family would talk about it.  Most of us only found out about  it after  the older ones had past away.  We are not able to find the names of our GG Grandfather's parent names,  which is Leroy Hl Hodges.  They would help if we could. Thanks for your email. Peggy

Was there any indian blood in the Hodges line except through the Jones line? Gayle One of  Leroy H. Hodges' children's  a  son,   Thomas Daniel Hodges who was born in Abbeville  the old 96th Dist. ,  married are  to be  Full or Part Indian  sisters,   first wife  was Elizabeth Susan Jones,  after   she died and he remarried her sister  Murdough Jane Jones.   This was in  Jefferson Co., Ala.  My Mother never spoke of this  because of the Indian blood I am sure.  She never wanted to look into the past.  But a lot of us in the newer Generation's  would like to know  more about the past,  if any one has Jones in their Family I would like to know.    Elizabeth was born in 1838  in SC. and Jane was born in 1851  near  Rome GA.  All three are buried at  the HODGES Cemetery in Jefferson Co., Alabama,  this Cemetery has mostly Leroy's kin buried in the Cemetery. The  name of the  JONES sisters Mother was  "May".  The Jones did stay in Ga. for a while from SC  before coming to Alabama. Peggy

Some of the query's have mentioned the names of "Long and Gooch", there are some of them buried in Jefferson Co., Alabama close to the Hodges Tombstone, does any one have any information on any of these two Families coming to Alabama with the Hodges? Peggy
