You mentioned connections to Abel Hodges. My Hodges line begins with Abel Hodges ( I believe the one on the SC 1790 census) who married Charlotte Harrell Aug 1, 1811 in Jefferson Co. GA. There were also marriages in Jefferson Co at the same time for Elias Hodges and Sarah Gilliam, Geo. C. Hodges to Sarah Hayley, Richard Hodges to Eliz. Jordan and Jemimah Hodges to Laird Fleming. It would seem that they were all of the same family. Abel and Charlotte settled in Washington Co - are mentioned in census records (1820 - Baldwin Co., 1825 Tax Digest in Wash Co - 98th Dist), 1830, 1840, Newspaper Article shows - died of typhus fever at his residence Oct 3 1843 in his 70th year of age, . Their children were Augustus George Washington Hodges(1813-1879, spouse Eliza Ann Avant); Elizabeth Hodges(1815-) Abel H. Hodges(1821-) Barbara Hodges(1824-) Sarah R. Hodges(1827) Mary E.P. Hodges (1828) Lemuel A. Hodges(1830 - married to Elizabeth A. Johnson Achord) and Charlotte Hodges (1836) My line follows Augustus G.W. Hodges to Morgan Augustus(1847-1924, married Emma J. Reese) to son and my grandfather Clarence E. Hodges(1877-1956 - married Annie Bell Fowler) Abel Hodges and wife Charlotte along with other family members are buried in the Hodges Family Cemetery on the Old Indian Trail Road between Hwy 24 and the River Road which goes to Oconee. This Hodges family lived and farmed in this area of Washington County for many years. This is the same area that Robert Hodges received bounty land in Wash. Co. It seems to me that this Abel Hodges and Elias Hodges Jr. were most likely brothers - and may have been the sons of Elias Sr. Some believe that he was son of William Hodges (1760-1808) who was the son of Henry Hodges(1720-1802) who was the son of Richard Hodges & Sarah - who was the son of Robert Hodges and Ann Matthews) Would love to see some more definite proof.

I thought Abel was the father of my Isaac Hodges; however, the children of your Abel & Charlotte does not have an Isaac. I have seen this line in the past and still find no connection. Could it be that this Abel's father is the father of my Isaac???

Dear Listers: I forgot to include an important fact. My Elias Hodges was born 1760-1770. The wife of Elias Hodges, Elizabeth DuBose, died in Conecuh County, AL in the year 1835. Elias Hodges died between 1840-1850. Both 1830 & 1840 Conecuh County Census records reflect he was born sometime between 1760-1770. James DuBose m. Elizabeth Hodge(s) was also born 1760-1770, per 1830 Conecuh County, AL Census. Joyce Feazell wrote: Do you have more information on the Henry Hodges (1720-1802) and William Hodges (1760-1808)? Joyce My QUESTION, what is the PROOF that William Hodges b. 1760 died in 1808? I would appreciate it if someone would point me in the direction of the verifiable source of his death in 1808. My William ELIAS Hodges was born 1760-1770 NC believed to have married Elizabeth DuBose in SC. i. Elias Hodges, Jr. was born 1788-1790 in SC ii. Richard Hodges was born 1788 - 1791 in SC iii. Jemima D. Hodges was born 10 March 1794 SC or GA - d. 11 Dec. 1884 Santa Rosa County, FL Burial Milton Cemetery iv. James D. Hodges was born 1790-1800 SC or GA v. George C. Hodges was born 1798 - 1799 in SC or GA vi. Pulaski Pinkney Hodges was born 1 August, 1813 in GA - d. 5 July, 1895 Falls Co., TX vii. Homer Virgil Hodges was born 1817 GA - 1866-1870 Falls County, TX (served in CSA, TX) Although we can't define exactly how yet, we learn from letters written by Laird B Fleming to his daughter, Jane B. Fleming Buchannan, that the HODGES family is somehow related to a FLOYD family. There are several FLOYD families resident in Alabama Counties, Conecuh, Covington and Butler.. Someone was called Aunt Hearty, who may have been married to a Mr. Floyd, died in 1839. Elizabeth DuBose HODGES, wife of William ELIAS Hodges wife, died in Conecuh Co., AL in the year 1835. Am hoping that someone on the list may have some little unknown bit of information that will assist us in accurately placing our William ELIAS Hodges with his parents. Thanks Kaye Watts Collier
