Hi, PJ... Whoops - you're so right, I got the initials mixed up. John T. was Harden's son, but Harden had a BROTHER named John M. That's according to genealogist Ray Correll (a Hodges descendant who met my great-aunt Beulah when he was young), supported by U.S. census entries. Unfortunately, from what you've written I don't have a thing you don't - I'm still working only vertically and so I have virtually nothing on Harden's children other than my great grandpa Emery Charles, or on Harden's brothers. And you and I brick-wall in the same place, with William Hodges and Elizabeth "Betsy" Neal. I got there mostly through Ray's work, supported/augmented by census and LDS IGI entries. And by the way, as for small worlds and La Vergne and Smyrna, I live SO close to Smyrna that I have a La Vergne street address and a Smyrna phone number - how 'bout that? In fact, the reason I never go to the Smyrna Air Show is that I watch it from my back deck!

I have a William in my line. He had a son Gentry. Thanks. Harold Hodges, Sikeston, Missouri
