Dear Family Hodges: I have posted several emails to this site on my Leroy H. Hodges, he was born in Laurens CO., SC in 1806, we are still trying to find his parents names, the Hodges you have been mentioning I have in my Family of the John, Richard, William, , etc.. I am still trying to find any one that might have any knowledge of the John and Richard Hodges in Laurens Co., SC. in the 1800, 1810, 1820 Census. They might have not been born or even died there, but was just there in Laurnes Co., SC in that time period. My Leroy being born in Laurnes co., did move into Abbeville and married a Permelia/??? and moved in to Jefferson Co., Alabama by the 1850 Census. The reason that I am interested in John he has a Male child the right age to be my Leroy in the 1810, 1820 Census, and then in the 1830 Leroy is close by on the Census, but can not find any one that has any knowledge of this John or even Richard Hodges. Thanks for any HELP.

Peggy Sue your Leroy could be a son of William Brookes Hodges and Frances Long. I don't have enough information on ther family to give you much. If he is one of the children he has brothers and sisters, but I have only three names. William Jr, George W. Marshall W. and 2 other sons, 5 daughters. William and Franky were having their family during that time frame and could have been in Laurens. William B. moved his family to Kentucky in 1810, but died in SC. I suspect he moved over with his brother Richard. Some of Richard's children married people from Kentucky before the family went to Indiana. Then when Richard took his family to Indiana William went back to SC to help with his aging mothers farm. Just speculation, but something to look at.

Elijah, Thanks for your email. The John and Richard Hodges in the Laurnes Co., SC was the only two Hodges that I could find on the 1810 Census, and John did have a Male under the age of ten., which would be the right age for Leroy H. Hodges. It looks like John was in the area of Laurnes Co., for several of the Census, It was in the 1840 Census that Leroy was in Abbeville after he had married to Permelia/???. No information on her. Could this John have had a first name and just went by John. There was no will or land that I could find on John or Richard in Laurnes Co., SC. They could have moved on to another county maybe Abbeville. I know that they are a lot of HODGES in Alabama, but I can not connect to any except in Jefferson Co., But I do not have any list of Leroy's brother or sisters either. Leroy did have a lot of children.
