Gerry, This John, listed in the Moragnes In America, is incorrectly named, and the listing in this book caused many years of pain in misdirected searching by hundreds of genealogists, both professional and amateurs. The John in said book turns out to be Richard Hodges who married Elizabeth Jones in Virginia. They later moved to South Carolina where Richard was killed by Indians during the historic uprising caused by the selling of Indian lands in Western South Carolina by a gentleman from England known as "The Jew." The family is well documented. I believe that many of the Hodges from the surrounding country was probably related to Richard. It would account for the reason some of them moved to the 96th district after becoming adults. The Hodges family that stayed in the 96th District became powerful, and might have had influence in helping other family members get jobs. My ancestors moved to Tennessee, then Kentucky, and later to South Eastern Indiana. The family that moved to Indiana is well documented, as are many of their descendants. My family descended from William, then Gabriel, who ran an underground railroad. Gabriel moved his family to Missouri after some of his cousins moved there. Tradition has it that he barely escaped slave catchers getting out of Indiana. The little proof I have shows Gabriel walking over a hundred miles to borrow money to buy a second farm in remote Northern Missouri. The told his family in Eastern Missouri that he was going to use the farm to run slaves North! My grandfather wrote his own life story and tells that his grandfather Gabriel ran an underground railroad. The book Moragnes In America was wrong about some of the family history, and I have stopped relying upon it for information about the Hodges family. I do hope you are able to make a connection for your ancestor. The bounderies did change during the nineteenth century. Abbeville and Hodges South Carolina are in different counties now. If you get a chance take the trip.
