Hi Stephanie, I recently found a tidbit that might be helpful to you. I didn't know until a recent item I found that the family of Elias Hodges, whom we have been talking about in recent posts, apparently settled in Tattnall County, Georgia after Elias' death in Effingham County, Georgia. So that might suggest a possible ancestry for your William Henry Hodges. Compare the following record: From the book "Georgia Intestate Records" by Jeanette Holland Austin, p. 151: "Hodges, Elias, dec'd, of Granville Co., S.C., LWT dtd. 8/19/1779, proved 10/25/1800, leaves cousin Drury Hodges 16 cattle, etc; to Mary, wife exrs.; wife Mary, and bro. Robert Hodges; Effingham Co. (Georgia) miscellaneous records. with the following: From the book: "Genealogical Material From Legal Notices in Early Georgia Newspapers" abstracted by the late Judge Folks Huxford (page49); from the Newspaper "The Columbian Museum and Savannah Advertiser, 1796-1818: Tattnall County: Mary Hodges applies for letters testementary and for probate of will of Elias Hodges, dec'd., Sept. 4, 1804 I hope this helps.
