Edmund Hodges wrote a codicil to his will Feb. 11, 1782 that said: I hereby revoke that part for my daughter Susannah Slayton as she is now deceased. I bequeath that part to be equally divided among her six children: James Slayton, Rachel Slayton, Pattsey Slayton, John Slayton, Edmund Slayton, and Arther Porter Slayton. 11 Pittsylvania County Deeds & Wills 133, reprinted in Adams, Abstracts of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Wills 1767-1820, at 49. The marriage of John Slayton and Susannah Hodges is recorded in the Douglas Register from Goochland County. If Edmund Slayton is the same as the one marrying in Franklin County, does that suggest that Drury may be from the Thomas Hodges line as well? I have not been able to fit him into the Robert Hodges line anywhere. He had a brief stay in Franklin County.
