Hi to the List Have been spending the morning reading messages to the list beginning 1998...whew! Many messages I did not pursue due to inappropriate subject line, so I very likely missed some "good stuff" I am interested in 3 Hodge/Hodges Families that appear on the 1850 census in Mississippi. I was able to rule out a 4th from a wonderful family tree found on this list (Isaac in Itawamba). 1. Choctaw J. L. Hodges 2 Claiborne N. W. Hodge 3. Lafayette Allen Hodge Mary Hodge/Hodges married Archie Forbes ca 1852, likely in Mississippi. I believe Mary was about 27 in 1860 census in Cass Co. Texas. I am trying to place this Mary with her parents and document this marriage. Thanks Alice in Fluvanna
