Hi Mike, The family Bible states that John Hodges the son of Isham Hodges and Mary his wife was born August 29,1784. The following is from Marlboro County Court records: Nov. 10, 1798 Notice to kindred and creditors of Isom Hodges to appear and show cause if any there be why Mary Hodges and Edmond Hodges shoulf not be granted letters of administration of all and singular the goods and chattels rights and credits of Isom Hodges late of said County Deceased. Dec. 3, 1798 Administrators' bond for Mary Hodges, Edmond Hodges, David Mandville, and Aaron Pearson.for 1500 pounds sterling.

The last account has the most information. It records that on Jan. 7, 1805 the administrators paid Isham Hodges 8 pounds 15s. toward his part of the estate, and John Hodges $70 toward his part of the estate. On Nov. 3rd 1805 the administrators by permission sold four negroes (Jude, Ned, Bill, and Nelly) to Mary Hodges and 1 boy Jack to Edmond Hodges, and also Jeffrey, Amy, Juno, Lucy, Jett, and Peter to other buyers. ________________________________________________________________________________ Several of Edmond's children must have followed John to Calloway County as we find them on several census living close to him. John was a witness to the will of his nephew A. P.(Aaron Pearson) Hodges. The will was dated February 2,1853. It was proved in Murray,Calloway County,Kentucky on July 27, 1853. Both A.P. and John are buried in the Evans Cem. I have more info if you find that this is your line. >Hi Woody and Pat >The John Hodge mentioned below has been a source of confusion in Calloway Co >for several years.
