Hi Harold - my Hodge is MICHAEL J. HODGE who was born in either Boston or Arlington MA, I would guess around 1860. Michael married Annie B. McGovern, also from the Boston area. They had twins Rose and Anna, daughter Veronica ("Vonnie"), and my grandmother Gertrude. Gertrude married Charles Sibbald Toomy in Malden MA, and the rest is history........For some reason, Michael and Annie spent some time in Sharpsburg PA which is where Gertrude was born, and then returned to the Boston area. They are a VERY elusive bunch..I have no other info on them. Could there be a connection???? Thanks----Susan sr1244@aol.com
