This is probably information from Katherine Meyers taken originally from Jessie Lotta Hodges. Note the spelling error, I do this sometime just to trace my own research. Jessie was the daughter of John Lawrence Hodges, s/o Dr. John Hodges. In my opinion Jessie's work [ "THE MARLBORO [S.C.] HODGES FAMILY - by Jessie Lotta Hodges, Donated, by request, to the South Carolina Library, Columbia, South Carolina" ] was very good where she dealt with facts but she tended to make some unsupportable assumptions to connect those facts. The John and Elizabeth, immigrants to Jamestown, were killed in the massacre and their only son John was not mentioned again. Note the following quote:: "Our early Marlboro Hodges family was closely related to the Hodges' of Cumberland, N.C. whose progenitor settled in Goochland, Va. Just note this - - Rev. Moses Sr. of County Northampton, Eng. m. (1) Frances d. of Edmund Johnson. "Believe it or not", Goochland, Va. records include an Edmund Hodges, who not only had a son and a grandson, Moses, but also a son Johnson Hodges. The recurrence of these unusual family names in both the English County Northampton lineage and our own American lines could not be mere coincidence." Sounds like a reach to me.
