Sorry, I hit the send button too soon. James Hodges came to Meredosia, Morgan County, Il from Huntington County Pennsylvania. He died in Meredosia Sept. 16, 1842. He and his wife Catherine had at least 7 children. My GrGrGrandfather, Thomas was born in Pennsylvania but became a very successful farmer in Morgan County. He married Elizabeth James first and Susan Burris second. My GrGrandfather, John J. Hodges was the youngest of Thomas and Elizabeth. He married Deliah McVey and they left by covered wagon to settle in Arkansas, near the Oklahoma border. They had four children. My Grandfather, Oliver had a twin sister, Olive Snodgrass. They were successful in the wholesale grocery business in the Tallequah, OK area before selling out and failing as farmers in the panhandle of Texas. I hope some of these names help.
