I'm really glad that Phil brought up the New York Hodges -- since I'm still looking for my own William Hodges and welcome any discussion of Hodges in that area. My ancestor William Hodges was born 1762 or 1763, and appears as head of household in Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY, in 1800. Several members of the Keziah Delavan and Ezekiel Hodges family are nearby, but I haven't yet found proof of any relationship. My William Hodges moved to Pittsburgh, PA, before 1810, and to Warren Co, PA, by 1814. He died in Warrren Co, PA, in 1837. I can provide more information if anyone is interested. All help will be appreciated! As to Henry Hodges, I believe a daughter Esther is missing from Kenneth's list of Henry's children. A Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers of New England, Before 1692 (by James Savage): HENRY HODGES, Taunton, s. perhaps, of William of the same, m. 17 Dec. 1674, Esther, d. of the brave capt. John Gallop, had Mary, b. 3 Feb. 1676; Esther, 17 Feb. 1678; William, 18 Mar. 1680; Charity, 5 Apr. 1682; Henry; Benjamin; Joseph; John; Ephraim; Elizabeth; and Abigail; was elder of the ch. capt. and d. 30 Sept. 1717, aged 65. His will of 17 of that mo. names with his w. all the s. and ds. all liv. Mary m. a Keith; Esther m. a Southworth; and Charity m. a Leonard. I hope I've copied that correctly. If not, please let me know. Phil, could you please post approximate dates and a little more detail for your Ephraims, Benjamins, etc. I'm tracking lots of Hodges in and around NY and PA in trying to identify relatives of my family. Thanks. Eva
