Ken: Yes, Eleanor and I share a common interest in this Hodges line and try to keep each other up to date of our findings. He late husband and I share mutual ancestry as descendants of Elias Hodges through his daughter Jemima D. Hodges Flemming. Eleanor, on the other hand, enjoys a direct line from the HODGES which lived around the Savannah area. Thanks for thinking of us and I appreciate your assistance in providing her email address to ensure we could collaborate. Kaye
