I hope someone can help some of these people. Elijah Elijah I read your story about the HODGES' on RootsWeb. I too am a HODGES. I have come to a brick wall several times about the parents of my ggrandfather, Richard Samuel HODGES. I know my Richard came from Texas and possible Arkansas. He married Mirah Lunetta Trimble December 24, 1875 in Hubbard City, TX. I can not find his parents. I did find in the 1870 census, Limestone County, TX, a Walter C. HODGES with 6 children. One of which is a Richard S. If you have any information that might connect us, please let me know. Thank you, Gwynn Nell Swanson cows@pldi.net ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
