Dear List, I have been reading alot about the Hodges family from SC. I am the descendant of Isham Hodges -1795-SC that moved into Jones Co. MS in 1830. He was married to Mary Terrell of SC. Right now it is rumored that this Ishom had 9 children. And I am still getting information on these children. I know for a fact that John Hodges is one of them. John Hodges was born ca. 1808-SC. He first married Mary Blackledge. Then he married Trecy Blackledge. Then he married my gggrandmother Milly(last name unknown). Milly is rumored to be a Gatlin. In first researching John in the 1870 Wayne Co. Ms. Federal census. He was listed with his mother Mary and 9 children. One of these children was Wiley Robinson. Wiley was the child of Trecy Blackledge and Wiley Robinson Sr. that died during the Civil War. One of the other children that was listed was Jersusha Hodges. She was born ca. 1855 in MS. She married a McDonald and moved to La. In searching for more info in the 1880 census data in the LDS site I found Jerusha and it states that her father was born in TN. This was a big surprise sine I knew that John Hodges was born in SC. One of the researchers that is also researching my family told me that John went to court for guardianship of three children. So Jerusha may be one of the children that he raised as his own for one of his siblings. But to the best of my knowledge, I have found no evidence that John or any of his siblings ever went to TN. So my question is: How do I go about finding Jerusha's father? She died in 1936 in La. And is buried in the New Campground Cemetery. Thanks for any helps that you can give. Linda Hodge
