Kathy Hodges McElveen, As you might have seen, I am trying to find my Leroy H. Hodges parents names, Leroy born in 1806 in Laurnes Co., SC.. Can you tell if any of your "John's or Richard's" might have been living in Laurnes Co., SC in 1800, 1810, 18820? As I have said a "John Hodges" living next door to a Richard Hodges was in the county, John according to the Census had a son the right age being born as to be my Leroy but I can not find any one knows anything about this "John". Thanks for any help.
