Has anyone proven this lineage? We believe this family > traces back to Richard and Robert. > Do you have more information on the Henry Hodges (1720-1802) and William > Hodges (1760-1808)? > Joyce Hi Annette and Joyce; A quick look through my stuff revealed the following: On Henry Hodges: I didn't readily find anything on Henry in Georgia right away; I did find a headright grant to an "H.B. Hodges in Bulloch County in 1861. I did find a few South Carolina references to Henry Hodges; (don't know if it's yours); "Early PeeDee Settlers" by John M. Gregg lists Henry Hodges, spouse Lydia, died 1757 Craven County; minor son Richard Hodges. There are numerous references to Henry Hodges Sr. and Jr. in the Pitt County, NC records on Sandy Hodges' page at: http://www.powow.com/sandyhodges/genea/PITT/PittDI.htm#Hodges%20family On William Hodges, I found 14 Georgia headright and bounty grants to William Hodge and Hodges, the earliest in 1788 to William Hodge in Wilkes County; the others in Madison, Tattnall, Effingham, Camden, Liberty, and Screven Counties. These are listed in the book "Index to the Headright and Bounty Grants of Georgia". I've been in contact with a Glenda Hodges descended from a William Hodges born 1813 who lived in Twiggs initially, later Sumter County. Thanks what I could turn up quickly; hope some of this helps.
