Trying again on message I tried to post Saturday: I don't have any proof, but believe my HODGES ancestors may also descend from the New England line -- and may be closely related to Ezekiel who settled in Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY. My gggg grandfather William HODGES was born ca 1762/3; was head of a household in Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY, in 1800; briefly lived somewhere in Canada; but was in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co, PA, by 1810. He moved to Warren Co, PA, by 1816, built the Warrren Co. Courthouse ca. 1826, and died in Warren Co. in 1837. William HODGES was married to Eleanor (CORNWELL?) ca 1791 or earlier, probably in New York. Eleanor was born 3 March 1776 in New York. Their children included: Ruby Eliza HODGES, Derrick G. HODGES, Walter W. HODGES, John Bryant HODGES, and Amos B. HODGES. 1- Ruby Eliza HODGES was born 4 Oct 1792, married ___ DUGAL, and died 10 Aug 1815 in PA (a few days after the birth of her daughter Ruby DUGAL). 2- Derrick G. HODGES was born 22 Sep 1795 in NY, lived in Warren Co, PA, until 1840 or later, then moved to Richland Co, OH. He and his wife Sarah had several children. Derrick died sometime after 1860. 3- Walter W. HODGES was born 22 June 1797 in NY, and died 24 Sep 1863 in Warren Co, PA. His wife was Marvel Bowers JACKSON. 4- John Bryant HODGES was born ca 1799/1801 in NY, and died 2 June 1880 in Warren Co, PA. He and wife Rachel FOUNTAIN had seven children. 5- A son born in 1804 and died in 1807 was given the name Amos HODGES. (Another son born after his death was given the same name.) 6- Amos B. HODGES was born ca 27 July 1812 (probably in PA). He married Sarah DEEN (DEAN?) in Morgan Co, OH, in 1832, and was living (in Burnet?) near Atchison, KS, in 1858. His whereabouts after that are unknown. Does anyone have any information on this HODGES line? I would especially like to find something linking William HODGES to his ancestors and other relatives. Thanks. Eva
