Elizabeth Collins and died 18 Mar 1842 McNairy Co., TN) I believe their 13 children were: James C.

Mr. Hodges address was given as Box 398, Canadian, TX 79014 >> = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Hi Gerry, I just want to make one and possibly two corrections to what you had sent to Harold: While the Bob Hodges papers in the Austin State Library may be the source of your information, his address is not Canadian, Texas. That is the address of my brother, Billy George Hodges who probably corresponded with Bob Hodges and may have sent him some information. Bill had told me at some point that he had corresponded with a Bob Hodges. My second point is probably more a question than a correction. It is true that Jesse had a son, Jesse, Jr., and the birth date is correct. It is my undertstanding that Jesse, sr. and his children moved to Wilson Co. TN in 1797 or 1798 from Pittsylvania Co. VA. I'm curious about your statement that Jesse, Jr. moved from Boone, NC to Knoxville, TN. I'm inclined to believe he may have been a different Jesse. If you have information to the contrary, I'd love to have it because we have very little about Jesse, jr. I have that he married Elizabeth Kelly but don't have a date. Warm regards, Jim Hodges 8000 Dunsmore Road Richmond, VA 23229
