Have you had any lick yet on finding parents of your Abel? You and I both thought your Abel and my Redding Augustus Othaniel Hodges were connected. I have cousins searching for our Hodges heritage,too. Well, just let me know if you discover a missing link.

They lived and raised a family of 8 in Washington County Ga. Their children were: Augustus George Washington Hodges, Elizabeth Hodges, Abel H. Hodges, Barbara Hodges, Sarah R. Hodges, Mary E.P. Hodges, Lemuel A. Hodges, and Charlotte Hodges. Augustus George Washington Hodges (1813-1879) married Ann C. Avant on 15 Dec 1846 in Wash. Co. Ga. Their children were: Morgan Augustus, Rebecca, John Richard, Mary, Abel, Robert, and Jessie. Morgan Augustus Hodges( 1847-1924) married Emma J. Reese on 10 dec 1871 and had 7 children: William A., Clarence Elbert, Walter Lee, Oscar S. Charles S., Minnie J. and Leonidas. Clarence Elbert was my grandfather. There were the following marriages in Jeff. Co Ga about the same time leading me to think that these were siblings of Abel. Elias Hodges Jr. to Sarah Gilliam 18 Jul 1811 Laird Fleming to Jemima Hodges 7 Nov 1814 Richard Hodges to Elizabeth Jordan 5 Jul 1823 Sarah C. Hayley to George C. Hodges 18 Aug 1823. I do know that Laird Fleming and Jemima moved into Alabama. The name Hodges is used in the line that I follow; however, I have found reference in some writings which refer to Mr. A G W Hodge farm. (Mr. Augustus George Washington Hodge(s)) Perhaps this Hodge/Hodges evolved over time or maybe referred to more than one Hodge?? Who knows. If you have connections....would love to hear from you. ==== HODGES Mailing List ==== Please remember that it is okay to post any information on any Hodge/Hodges/Hedge to the list.
