Dear Barabara ZEAGLER, I must make this uncharacteristically brief for now. I have been trying to restore a draft TUTTLE message that I lost with some computer problems, and I'll be out of town next week -- I'll make a more complete response later. You will find Caroline [Amanda GRAHAM/TUTLE] HODGES b c 1833 listed with the family of Samuel HODGES d 1861? and Margaret Ann GRAHAM [HODGES buried at Little Ogeechee Baptist Church] in the Effingham Co GA Censuses of 1850 and 1860. I believe that her father is your James TUTTLE. James TUTLE had his daughter's name changed from Caroline Amanda GRAHAM to Caroline Amanda TUTLE in late 1835 by act of the GA Legislature, and then aplied for her guardianship in Effingham Co GA in 1836 (abstracted as TUTTE). Her mother objected to the guardianship shortly after. Her mother married the divorced Samuel HODGES in 1840 in Effingham Co GA (I haven't looked at the 1840 census as to the makeup of the household of the newly-married couple -- his first family was still in Screven Co GA, including his first wife, Ja(y)ne BLACK HODGES -- my wife's ancestors). Caroline Amanda was enumerated as a HODGES in 1850 and 1860. I do not know what became of her after that. I believe that these matters are the first that I found recorded for your TUTTLEs in the two counties, so they must have arrived by the early 1830s (from NC?). By the late 1830s, James TUTTLE had positions of responsibility in Screven Co GA. I had not previously heard of his guardianship of John P. J. TUTLE (please share with me any details that you may have for the guardianships in 1843 and for James TUTTLE's estate in 1848 - which county?); this latter fellow was a Confederate soldier. I've not yet collected much about the MORTONs. Later I can also give you some of the background of Sophia BOYKIN (twin of Henrietta); administration of Rachel NEWTON TUTTLE's estate in 1863 was by Sophia's father, Flerl M. BOYKIN b c 1797 (brother of my ancestor Tobias BOYKIN b 1802). FLERL was a Salzburger surname in St. Matthews Parish/Effingham Co GA. May God Bless You and Your Family, Bob (John Robert) PEAVY Post Office Box 1519 Rincon GA 31326-1519 Note: My Aunt Evelyn Perlie BOYKIN FLOYD's first grade teacher (c 1918) in Screven Co GA was Ada SHARPE d 1989, later the wife of Henry TUTTLE; I don't believe that this couple had any children; they are buried at Mizpah Methodist Church in Effingham Co GA -- I'll find the dates that I jotted down while there. Note: My own HODGES ancestry (primarily Methodist) is from Francis HODGES of NC/Joshua HODGES Sr RS of Bulloch Co GA/Nathaniel HODGES of Bulloch Co GA/Asenith HODGES b 1814 d 1863, wife of Tobias BOYKIN of Screven Co GA. Joshua HODGES Sr RS had several sons including Joseph HODGES Sr RS of Bulloch Co GA. I have found no connection between the two HODGES families (so far). The Effingham Co GA/Screven Co GA HODGES family (I believe they were primarily Baptists) may also have originally been from NC, but had Tory leanings and some of them were in East FL during the Revolution (where Samuel HODGES of Screven and Effingham Cos GA was b c 1782, evidently to William HODGES Sr d by 1802 Effingham Co GA, the earliest "proved" ancestor of the Effingham and Screven Cos GA HODGES family -- I hope that we'll one day find some help on extending this line back). Although they had cousins that were RS, the Screven Co GA BOYKINs were also Tory (perhaps more than "nominal" Tories like the area MIZELLs -- the BOYKINs had land confiscated, then restored in 1805 -- the MIZELLs are my father's ancestors). ________________________________ From: jczeagler@webtv.net 06/03/99 Subject: Hodges/Graham/Tuttle Hi: In your information on HODGES you stated that Samuel HODGES B 1783 married Margaret GRAHAM(sister of Flora GRAHAM) b 1811 d 1897. You said Margaret GRAHAM already had a child born 1833. by James TUTTLE. I have a James TUTTLE who was in Sc.Co.,Ga in 1840. This James TUTTLE was married to Rachael Newton B 1801. Is he the same TUTTLE? He died in 1848 in Screven Co.,Ga. He became guardian of Mary Caroline TUTTLE and John PJ TUTTLE in 1843. He had a son named James L.S. TUTTLE and Martha L. TUTTLE. James L.S. married Sophie BOYKIN. Martha married Ezra David MORTON. James L.S. was 24 and Martha 17 on 1860 census. If my James TUTTLE and yours are the same, do you know the childs name the Margaret Graham had.? Thank you very much.
