I looked in the early Ohio tax records, in Belmont, for Hodgin, and didn't find any for 1806, but did find what may be another spelling - Hudgeon....a Wm. In 1810 there is a Stephen and a Wm Hodgen, listed in Warren twp. In THE CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT CO, it say "Wm Hodgin came prospecting, from Georgia, and arranged with Jonathan Taylor to secure a secton of land, the smallest amt then subject to entry. As they returned to Ga, they had to swim their horses through all unfordable streams this side of Cincinnati>" In 1803 Wm came again, accompanied by Stehen Hodgins, and others."
