Dear List, Thanks to Gerry and Josie for giving me some clues to trail in my ongoing research into my GGgrandfather John Hodges. Please look at the 1870 Wayne Co. Ms. Federal Census that list my GGgrandfather: In the 1870 Wayne County Ms. Federal census Dwelling # 6 it lists: John Hodges age 62 Born N.C. Head of Household Terresa A. age 26 Keeping House Jerusha age 16 Charles age 14 Julia age 12 Edward age 8 John age 6 Eliza age 1 William age 1 Wiley Roberson age 7 Mary(mother) retired age 76 Born SC My GGgrandfather would have been born Ca. 1807/1808-NC. I was wondering if the census taker made a mistake and it should have been SC? His mother Mary would have been born ca. 1794/5 SC. Also another mystery would be the fact that he married a much younger women. My hunch about this is that he may have been married before. The 1850 Census data that I sent before sparked my interest because of the listing for Mary being born in SC and the ages for that Mary is close to the birth year of John Hodges mother Mary. Am I wrong with my hunch on this family? I would appreciate your comments. Linda Hodge

Linda, have you tried the [email protected] site? Hodges, SC is named after (Officer) George Washington Hodge(s), son of John Hodge and ? Anderson. I will flag your query and get back with you as soon as I find my documentation. Several generations were buried in/near Hodges, SC.
