Hello Harold, I noticed the name, Thomas, in your family. Are any of these names in your records? Redding Othaniel Augustus Hodges b. 1790 NC d. 1858 Redding Othaniel Augustus Hodges b. 1837 d. 1904 Thomas Harris Hodges b. 1877 d. 1953 1790 is as far back as our family can trace, at this point. I'm so anxious to find more.
