Hi Sue, Sorry but I couldn't locate any on your Charles Jefferson Hodges. 1870 is a little too current for most of my files. Have you tried to locate a death certificate for him? If your "family lore" is correct then you are probably connected to the following Hodges. I've found that there is generally some truth to all these old stories but not necessarily in the same form. 6. David HODGES born 28 Aug 1774 Goochland Virginia mar. 21 Dec 1799 Goochland Virginia to: Nancy Ann JAMES (Jesse James great aunt) Of course it could have been this Jesse James; Jesse James HODGES Born: June 17, 1880 in , Newton, AR Died: March 05, 1961 in , Lincoln, OK Ken in Orlando At 01:17 AM 07/29/1999 EDT, you wrote: >I have a grandfather from Ft.
