Jerry, Thanks so much for your attempts to help me. I do have all of the info that you passed on. I have all of the descendants of Mary and James up to the present. It is getting past them where I am completely stymied. If you are researching this branch of the Hodges, I can bring you up-to-date. To anyone who is interested, all of JAMES and MARY's children are deceased, my mother, VERA, was the last, she died in 1997. The child listed as "living" is no longer living, but that would have been my uncle, WILLIAM HENRY HODGES. I am very interested in your source for the WWII military records of Benjamin Hodges, not in direct line to my family that I know of. I am, however, trying to get the WWII army records of my first cousin LOSSIE LEON BUSH, he was killed in North Africa in 1943 and my uncle CECIL CLEVELAND HODGES - he served in the Pacific during WWII. Any tips? Thanks, Carolyn
