The following is taken from a paper I received from a cousin, Gwen Rosamond Forrester, who got it from Al Metts. The intro to the page written by Al Metts says: "I will copy the information in this very old copy of a Hodges family record that I can read. If I am not certain, a "-" will be substituted. This paper was given to me by Mrs. Frances C. Ebaugh of Gainsville, FL. She found it long ago in the vertical files of the DAR Library in DC. It was used as proof of a supplemental on John Hodges, No. 406997." The paper reads: Family Record of John Hodges Births Lucy Hodges, Daughter of John Hodges and Margaret Long, his wife, was born Dec. 24th, 1787. Reuben Hodges was born Feb. 1st, 1790.

Notes also appear on the page in handwriting which say. (On upper left corner) "This record was taken from F'y Bible of Uncle Robt. Hodges". (On left center of page) "From whose family Bible this record was taken. G.C.H." A sworn statement by Susie Hodges Harrison states that she was familiar with the handwriting of her father George Conner Hodges and frequently signed notations as G.C.H. She swears that the notations were made by her father. Jimmy Rosamond jdrosamond@adelphia.net
