Betty, You have discussed the Hodges line of which I need more information. I am trying to trace the lineage - Robert, father of Richard, f/o Henry. Does anyone have any more data following this line? Is anyone else possibly a descendant of this Henry? Also, do you know where I could buy the book you mentioned, We Cousins?
