The Hodges Cemetery is Republic, It does have a street sign up that says Hodges Road, there is no Church or anything around, I believe the road you turn off of is Republic Road, close to the road to Brookside, and Bivens Cemetery which a lot of the Hodges are buried also.

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.

Bob; I know that we are suppose to use this for family research only but I think this is part of what you are trying you are trying to say. These are stories that I heard growing up in a Hodge family. This story was told to me by my Mother a lot of time's even as I spoke to her last week. I had an aunt that was a two years older than my mother who had fell deeply in love with this boy in their last year of high school. They had decided to get married.They said he was the most handsome and dark skined as well as smart youngman in the class. Well when my grandfather found out he took my aunt for a walk. He told her she could not marry this young man because he was her first cousin part black and part Indian. She never seen the young man again.. As I grew up as a child I was allowed to spend the summer's with my grandparents. I would take a rifle and horse the first thing and I might stay for a day are a week out in the woods and mountains.. And one time as I had came in and was unsadleing the horse. He told me I should belong to another part of the family because I was more Indian than they were.But when I would ask anything about the Hodge family he would not talk. I was also told of one of their black men drowning in a creek. They hid so much of are history that sometime's I think we will never know are find out the truth.

Does anyone know who William Hodges (William H. Hodges) listed in the Lowndes County GA 1910 census is? As I recall he is about 15 years old. He is listed with mother Emily Hodges and older woman, widow Nancy Hodges. Also listed are younger brother Orrin born in 1905 whose ssi record says his father was William Clarence Hodges? All born in GA. I cannot figure out which GA Hodges' to put them with. Thanks, Fran __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

I also have a "William" William Presley Hodges born in 1830 in Laurnes Co., or Abbeville Co., SC. He married a Susan E. Bagley, this is the first son of Leroy H. Hodges. We are not sure where the name of Presley came from. Peggy Sue O'Shields-Gaddis psueg@bellsouth.net

Jimmy, I do feel that these HODGES are related also, but just how we will have to figure out. I am still trying to find something on this John Hodges in Laurnes Co., in the early 1800's Census, living next door to a Richard. they must have been kin, but then my Leroy was living close by when the got older and married right before he move in to the Abbeville Co., Old 96th Dist.

Bob, For days I have been reading with much interest your "Theory" regarding the Hodges family. I descend from the Marlboro County SC branch. Isham b. about 1750 in VA.(I don't know where) and who died in Marlboro Co. in 1798. I'm still confused as to just who you happen to think his father might be. I lean toward it being the older John Hodges who was in Marlbora Co. at the same time. Give me a little feedback on your theory relating to Isham. I am descended from both of his sons, Edmund and John and of course, they BOTH named sons William!!!!!!! All of these names tie in so closely with the Pittsylvania Co., VA. bunch. You have done an outstanding job with this! Any help in this will be much appreciated.

"WILLIAM HODGES, Sr., b. ca. 1733; m. ca. 1753; 1793 on tax list Wilkes Co., Ga., as Executor of will of John Hodges; 1794 same in Warren Co.; d. Sept. 1794, Elbert Co., Ga.; left will naming son John and Wm. Appleby as executors." Who was the John Hodges whose will was read in 1794. Jim Sims ... lineage; Wm. Hodges & Eliz Kearby / Jane Hodges & Jon Fuller m. 1804 Warren Co. Ga.moved 1831 from SC to Alabama/ Nancy Fuller b. Greenville SC & David McG.

Bob, from your Gen Forum post of Aug 11. 1998 in which you responded to a post regarding the name Fleming which occurs repeatedly in the various Hodges clans. My lineage is William Hodges the Revolutionary War pensioner who died in Lawrence Co., Al in 1843. He was not in Monroe Co., Mississippi Territory but was in what became Somerville, Morgan Co., Territory. His first wife Elizabeth Kearby (Kirby) is believed by family descendents to be buried at Lacey's Spring which is closer to the Tennessee River. His son married the widow Sarah Thompson, William 1754 married the widow Eliz. McGlathery Sims, widow of Joel Sims in 1830 in Morgan Co. (I have copy of marriage cert.), I descend from Jane "Ginny" Hodges who married Jonathan Fuller in Warren Co., Ga. in 1804 and latter moved to SC near her brother John and in 1831 moved next door to William Hodges 1754 and his wife Eliz Sims Hodges in Somerville, Alabama. Three of Jane Hodges children married Sims step children. In 1834 Nancy Fuller age 17 eloped with David McGlathery Sims.

Peggy. If there are any marriage records, I haven't come across them. I do have access to some genealogy reports on LeRoy H., Permilia, and LeRoy's 2nd wife that I found on rootsweb, Ancestry.com and some FTM CDs. But these all bring his family forward, not backwards. I also have a marriage I've been looking for that might have happened in Lauren's county about the same time, but I haven't been able to locate any records at all. Like you, I have a first name, Lettice. So far nothing. If you do come across something, please let me know. I'll do the same. Concerning Elijah's theory that he might be the son of William Brookes Hodges and Frances Long, that's a possibility. I had an error in my records that I have to straighten out, but I'll do that tomorrow. I had William Brookes Hodges as two different people and I'm having to combine them. I think I have some additional children of William and Frances, although LeRoy isn't one of them. The one I'm sure of is a 2nd James L. Hodges who married Sarah Cummings. Their son Thomas H. Hodges was married to a Maryann ??, and then to a Malinda ??. His daughter with Maryann, Sarah Jane Hodges, is my g-grandmother. My family spans the Saluda River, showing up in both Abbeville and Laurens counties. My gggg-grandfather owned land on one side of the river in Abbeville County, and his son, my ggg-grandfather owned land in Laurens County on the opposite side of the river. Although I have copies of the land grants, we haven't pinpointed the exact location of either. I guess the point is that the Hodges family might have spanned the river too. If LeRoy was a member of the Abbeville Hodges, they might have gotten married on the south side of the river, so maybe you should also be looking in Abbeville for their marriage record.

Elijah, Thanks for your email. The John and Richard Hodges in the Laurnes Co., SC was the only two Hodges that I could find on the 1810 Census, and John did have a Male under the age of ten., which would be the right age for Leroy H. Hodges. It looks like John was in the area of Laurnes Co., for several of the Census, It was in the 1840 Census that Leroy was in Abbeville after he had married to Permelia/???. No information on her. Could this John have had a first name and just went by John. There was no will or land that I could find on John or Richard in Laurnes Co., SC. They could have moved on to another county maybe Abbeville. I know that they are a lot of HODGES in Alabama, but I can not connect to any except in Jefferson Co., But I do not have any list of Leroy's brother or sisters either. Leroy did have a lot of children.

The following is taken from a paper I received from a cousin, Gwen Rosamond Forrester, who got it from Al Metts. The intro to the page written by Al Metts says: "I will copy the information in this very old copy of a Hodges family record that I can read. If I am not certain, a "-" will be substituted. This paper was given to me by Mrs. Frances C. Ebaugh of Gainsville, FL. She found it long ago in the vertical files of the DAR Library in DC. It was used as proof of a supplemental on John Hodges, No. 406997." The paper reads: Family Record of John Hodges Births Lucy Hodges, Daughter of John Hodges and Margaret Long, his wife, was born Dec. 24th, 1787. Reuben Hodges was born Feb. 1st, 1790.

Deaths Elizabeth Bowin Hodges, daughter of John Hodges, died 12th October, 1826 at six PM. Dr. John Nash died Sept. 17th, 1832, half-past six AM. Maj. John Hodges, husband of Frances Anderson, died 24th December 1834, half-past six AM. Mrs. Frances, wife of Maj. John Hodges, died Thursday, 14th of March, 1844, ten minutes after six PM. Notes also appear on the page in handwriting which say. (On upper left corner) "This record was taken from F'y Bible of Uncle Robt. Hodges". (On left center of page) "From whose family Bible this record was taken. G.C.H." A sworn statement by Susie Hodges Harrison states that she was familiar with the handwriting of her father George Conner Hodges and frequently signed notations as G.C.H. She swears that the notations were made by her father. Jimmy Rosamond jdrosamond@adelphia.net

Peggy Sue your Leroy could be a son of William Brookes Hodges and Frances Long. I don't have enough information on ther family to give you much. If he is one of the children he has brothers and sisters, but I have only three names. William Jr, George W. Marshall W. and 2 other sons, 5 daughters. William and Franky were having their family during that time frame and could have been in Laurens. William B. moved his family to Kentucky in 1810, but died in SC. I suspect he moved over with his brother Richard. Some of Richard's children married people from Kentucky before the family went to Indiana. Then when Richard took his family to Indiana William went back to SC to help with his aging mothers farm. Just speculation, but something to look at.

Elijah. I have a definite faux pax in my records regarding this couple. There is a file in the SC GenWeb Archives that lists 4000+ marriages titled "OLD 96 AND ABBEVILLE DISTRICTS, SOUTH CAROLINA - MARRIAGES - 1774-1890". In this file it shows the marriage of Samuel Hill to Elizabeth Betsey Barmore, ostensibly in 1782. A little lower in the same file it shows that William Hodges married Elizabeth Barmore Hill. The year is shown as 83, presumably 1783. While the names appear to be correct, both of these dates now appear to me to be in error. I might add that I found the same record in a book on Old 96 District marriages in one of my forays to the Library of Congress. I would suspect the book is where Paul Sarret got the information he posted on the web. I would have to agree with your records that shows that Elizabeth Barmore married a later William Hodges (son of Charles Hodges), and not William Brookes Hodges as I had it in my records. This would agree with the will of John Hill, Sr. which wasn't probated until sometime in the 1800s. I have a copy of the original will which I got at the Abbeville Courthouse, but I'll have to dig it out to get the exact date. However, I do have a transcript of part of it quoted in a later lawsuit by one of John Hill's granddaughters which talks about John's son Samuel being married to Elizabeth Barmore. This document states: "Samuel Hill now dead, who left as his only heirs and distributees a widow Elizabeth who has since intermarried with William Hodges and two children, ...". It goes on to say that administration of Samuel Hill's estate was granted to William Barmore. FYI, and take this a unproven, a genealogy published on Ancestry.com shows Elizabeth Barmore Hill Hodges to have been born on January 25, 1796 and her parents to be Squire William Barmore b. 1774 in Faquier County, VA and Nancy Dodson b. 1776 in Faquier County, VA. The link to this is: http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ranchrider&id=I385 Regardiang your earlier posting, I would very much like to have a copy of Elizabeth Jones Hodges pedigree. Jimmy Rosamond jdrosamond@adelphia.net

OK, you are right. It was John, not James. The information on John's death date came from a professional genealogist, John M. Robinson, who did his work for my grandfather in the early fifties. It came from family records in Ripley County, Indiana. Now, I honestly believe that it came when the close family member, Sarah was already an old lady. Richard, she and the young family went to Kentucky before John's death. I believe that Violet Toph in 1952 had something of Cynthia Creath's who was the wife of Reuben Bert Hodges. Cynthia said that Richard Hodges was an officer in the RW, I can find only information that he was a Private. I know that men were often voted in as officers by the other men during reunions after wars. This might have been the case, and would have given Richard the right to say that he was a Lieutenant. John M. Robinson used the available books about the family for some of his information. He gave us John as the name of the man who was married to Elizabeth and was the father of my ancestor Richard Hodges. So, I know that some of my information was incorrect. I am slowly proving what I can. This has not been one of the things I felt compelled to prove. I believe it was Samuel, the brother, whom Richard served in the Revolutionary War with, not John the father. But, it could have been the father, or James, if either was an officer. My records show Samuel as a Captain. OK. The story of Dorothy being taken by Indians was so interesting, with the loss of her father and four younger sisters and all, that everybody told it faithfully. At least according to my grandfather who got it from his father and compared it to other related Hodges family's traditions in the 1930s. It was his contention that the story was true because he had letters from six different families in six different locations. Each family gave the same basic story. Dorothy being a young, tall, attractive woman was taken by an Indian Chief before the cabin was torched. She was gone for ten years. When she returned she brought her Indian son with her. He was nine when he arrived. The family talked Dorothy into staying with them. They clothed, and educated, her son in the ways of his mother. They were shocked, and unbelieving when he told them he was going back to his father. Some of them thought it was rude and disrespectful for him to leave and they couldn't understand why he would rather live with a bunch of savages. The boy was seventeen when he left. Dorothy stayed with her family and married the widowed brother of Sarah Rosamond. They had a family of their own. The story ends with "They had a family of their own." John M. Robinson put Dorothy in the record as having been captured by Indians about 1781, he showed one son, no name, from the Chief. Then he shows a second husband as -- Rosamond. I don't know where he got his information. I believe it was from a tribute for General George Washington Hodges, from two books; "Moragnes in America and Related Families" by Nell H. Howard and Bessie W. Quinn, and "Greenwood County Sketches" by Margaret Watson. Al Metts prefers the version from Margaret Watson. I believe that both books give us clues. "Greenwood County Sketches" is the more accurate, but "Moragnes in America and Related Families" might have clues that could help. The ladies told the story in much the same way the family tradition had it. They said that "John was killed by Indians while home on furlough during the Revolutionary War" The book had John as my ancestor. Harvey Bottoms gave Al Metts information that proves a John Hodge was in residence on a farm that would have been right next to Elizabeth's property. It could be that it was this John who died at the hands of Indians instead of, or separately from, my ancestor Richard. He might have fought in the RW and been killed by Indians while home on furlough. The stories could easily have merged, especially if the families did. My cousin, Carol Berchtold, gives us this information; Because there is no proof, at this time, we cannot say that Dorothy was married to a Rosamond. Family traditions are to easily changed and given to the imagination of the teller. So she only shows Dorothy as having been married to the Indian Chief and having only one child. The story of the Indians taking Dorothy, and the burning of the cabin, with the death of "John" Hodges is told in a tribute to George Washington Hodges, written by a news paper man after GW Hodges death. The story was printed many years after the incident. The next reference was written by Nicholas Ware Hodges (1797-1841), son of James Hodges (1758-1828). Ken Hodge who gives us so much good information had a copy of Nicholas story, written by his own hand. "Before the Commencement of the Colonial dispute my grandfather died, leaving a widow and twelve children. The Tories and Indians, soon after commencing their depredations, those of her sons who were able to labor for her support, being compelled to fly to the protection of their country, my grandmother was reduced to great suffering. The Indians burned her house and carried one of her daughters away captive. She returned home after the war, scarcely able to speak English. My grandmother had to fly for protection to the woods and shelter herself and children in the hollow of a large tree." I think some of the information you seek may be in the hands of historians in Indiana. John M. Robinson seems to have leaned heavily upon Violet Toph in the 1950s for information about the family. As you have pointed out, the information about John Rosamond is incorrect. My family spells the name wrong. AND, it is hard to give up the stories my dad told us as children. They seemed so creditable.

Thanks tremendously for the info you sent. I'm going to have to digest some of this before I can answer intelligently. But, one thing struck me in your first email regarding Richard Hodges and his wife Sarah F. Rosamond. Sarah's father's name was John and not James. James was her brother, who is my ggg-grandfather. This has been pretty much proven by a number of cousins independently, as well as a local SC independent researcher not connected to the family. The makeup of this family, which ties to the Hodges at least twice and maybe three times, is shown below. John Roseman (spelling from records of Augusta County, VA) and wife Sarah Willson Roseman. They moved from Augusta County, VA to Abbeville District, SC around 1766. There is a record of them selling their land on Moffett Creek in VA in late 1765. I have a land deed where John obtained land in Abbeville Dist, SC in 1767 on Turkey Creek, just outside of Ware Shoals. This couple had five children: Margaret Rosamond who married Bartholomew Weems Sarah F. Rosamond who married Richard Hodges, the family that later moved to Ripley County, Indiana Jean Rosamond (female, who never married) Samuel Rosamond, who married Sarah Hodges, sister of Richard Hodges above James Rosamond, who married 1st. --- BIG QUESTION --- married 2nd Mary Doherty (as spelled in James' will dated 1806 - her previously married name) widow of James Daugherty. One of the leading contenders for being James' wife is Dorothy Hodges, the one who was captured by the Indians and later returned to live with her family. She is supposed to be the sister of Richard Hodges and Sarah Hodges listed above. The other most likely scenario is that she was a Jones, probably related to the Benjamin Jones family who lived on the next farm over from John and Sarah Rosemond. One of James' sons was named Nathaniel Jones Rosamond sort of hinting that maybe his mother's maiden name was Jones. Now my question. You show Sarah F. Rosemond's father died in November 1769. Can you tell me where this date came from? My cousins and I have been looking for a record of his death for years with no success. I have to question the date because both John and his son Samuel are shown in an early colonial census of the Old 96 District in 1779. We're pretty sure John is not alive in 1790 because Sarah is listed as the head of the household, with one unmarried female living with her. This would place his death between 1779 and 1790. Oh, the name is misspelled again on this early census. It's shown as Rosemand. BTW, for anyone interested in the Rosamond name by any of the various spellings, I encourage you to join the Rosamond-L list. Jimmy

Jimmy Rosemond, Do you know if there are records for Marriages in Laurnes Co., SC in about 1828/30? I would like to check on Leroy H. Hodges and Permelia/??? marriage. They very soon move into Abbeville the Old 96th Dist, but I think they did live in Laurnes when they got married.

I have a definite faux pax in my records regarding this couple. There is a file in the SC GenWeb Archives that lists 4000+ marriages titled "OLD 96 AND ABBEVILLE DISTRICTS, SOUTH CAROLINA - MARRIAGES - 1774-1890". In this file it shows the marriage of Samuel Hill to Elizabeth Betsey Barmore, ostensibly in 1782. A little lower in the same file it shows that William Hodges married Elizabeth Barmore Hill. The year is shown as 83, presumably 1783. While the names appear to be correct, both of these dates now appear to me to be in error. I might add that I found the same record in a book on Old 96 District marriages in one of my forays to the Library of Congress. I would suspect the book is where Paul Sarret got the information he posted on the web. > > I would have to agree with your records that shows that Elizabeth Barmore married a later William Hodges (son of Charles Hodges), and not William Brookes Hodges as I had it in my records. This would agree with the will of John Hill, Sr. which wasn't probated until sometime in the 1800s. I have a copy of the original will which I got at the Abbeville Courthouse, but I'll have to dig it out to get the exact date. However, I do have a transcript of part of it quoted in a later lawsuit by one of John Hill's granddaughters which talks about John's son Samuel being married to Elizabeth Barmore. This document states: > > "Samuel Hill now dead, who left as his only heirs and distributees a widow Elizabeth who has since intermarried with William Hodges and two children, ...". It goes on to say that administration of Samuel Hill's estate was granted to William Barmore. > > FYI, and take this a unproven, a genealogy published on Ancestry.com shows Elizabeth Barmore Hill Hodges to have been born on January 25, 1796 and her parents to be Squire William Barmore b. 1774 in Faquier County, VA and Nancy Dodson b. 1776 in Faquier County, VA.

Dear Family Hodges: I have posted several emails to this site on my Leroy H. Hodges, he was born in Laurens CO., SC in 1806, we are still trying to find his parents names, the Hodges you have been mentioning I have in my Family of the John, Richard, William, , etc.. I am still trying to find any one that might have any knowledge of the John and Richard Hodges in Laurens Co., SC. in the 1800, 1810, 1820 Census. They might have not been born or even died there, but was just there in Laurnes Co., SC in that time period. My Leroy being born in Laurnes co., did move into Abbeville and married a Permelia/??? and moved in to Jefferson Co., Alabama by the 1850 Census. The reason that I am interested in John he has a Male child the right age to be my Leroy in the 1810, 1820 Census, and then in the 1830 Leroy is close by on the Census, but can not find any one that has any knowledge of this John or even Richard Hodges. Thanks for any HELP.
