In particular to a Francis Hodges 1715-1794 married to Frances Carruthers. Known sons were Francis Hodges, Jr., Hardy Hodges, Richard Hodges, John Hodges and Joshua Hodges b. Oct 13 1736 in Dobbs Co., NC, d. Mar 5 1809 in Bulloch Co., GA. I am a native of Bulloch Co., GA (now living in Person Co. (Hyco Lake), NC and a direct descendant of Francis Hodges through his son Joshua. Would love to find out if any of my "neighbor" Hodges' are related.
