Just wanted to throw something in the pot that may cause even more confusion re: Major Hodges first name. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries some names were actual first names not titles: Major, Admiral, Squire, Pharaoh, Doctor, Lieutenant and Empress. This can really lead to confusion. I have personally found records for two individuals in Eaton County, MI named Lord Nelson Brown and Queen Anne Victoria Elizabeth Brown. I would assume that they were brother and sister although I have never checked it out.
