Hello cousins, This one is not a member of the list. If you have information for her on her Hodge ancestors please send them to her. From: TWJ007@aol.com Subject: Hodge(s) I have been researching my LEE ancestry. It seems that my great, great, great grandfather Isaiah Lee, who was born in South Carolina, and died in Equality, Coosa County Alabama was the son of a Hodge woman. I have not verified this yet but it seems true. I have followed this Hodge line, looking at will and census information for the Fairfield/Richland County area of South Carolina along an area called Crane Creek. (If you want to find this area get onto the Yahoo map on the Internet and follow the freeway and rivers from the state capital of Columbia type in the word Crane Creek and Eau Claire (a city) to key into this area . Follow Richland County, South Carolina up to Fairfield County by way of Crane Creek to Simpson (a city) in Fairfield County. People listed in the Fairfield County census in 1790 in that corner below Simpson and Crane Creek were listed as living in Richland County in the beginning of the 1800's because there was a border change. I have followed the Benjamin Hodge family of that area. His wife was Nancy Hodge. My ancestor Isaiah Lee appears to be their grandchild through their daughter Lydia Hodge, who married Thomas Jordan Lee (who went by Jordan Lee). The Hodges had alot of land in Crane Creek. See the 1790 census for Fairfield County. My ancestors left for Alabama in about 1836. Isaiah married his second wife (my ancestor Demarias Dorman) in Pike County Alabama. His first wife Elizabeth seems to have died in South Carolina earlier that year. Then my family was found in Equality, Coosa County in 1850 census on. They left in 1902 for Wood County, Texas. Some live in nearby Dallas, Texas, but others still live in Quitman, Wood County Texas today. Lydia (Hodge) Lee and her husband Jordan Lee lived in the neighboring county of Tallapoosa, Alabama (near Coosa County, Alabama). I have collected their will too. What do you think could this Hodge/Hodges family be your family too? I have come across another name. The name of Burrell Lee. A Burrell Lee bought land adjoining Jordan Lee in Tallapoosa County. I also followed the 1790 Fairfield county census for Burrell Lee. I believe that he is the older brother of Jordan Lee. I think the father died in or before 1790. I also hear that there might have been a Scotch-Irish immigration with baby Jordan Lee being brought over as an infant during the Revolutionary War time. Remember the Hodge/Hodges could have been neighbors with the Lees and could have also had the same immigration pattern. Sincerely, Linda Jones, (possibly the great, great, great,great, great granddaughter of Benjamin Hodge(s)) ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
