I don't think there is any doubt he is one and the same as the wife's name is the same, marriage date and place the same, and his birthdate the same - just too much coincidence there to be a different guy! George's grandson William married Mary Thornbrough, my 1st cousin six times removed so I guess that makes me not actually related to the Hodgson's except for William's line. But I also had a second interest: Mary Thatcher's mother was Hannah Dicks and the Dicks family turned out to be related to a number of people I was researching in Mercer County, Illinois for a web site I have up there. That web site was about two townships in the county where I was documenting the neighbors of a number of my relatives. I learned an enormous amount just from how their neighbors lived and their various interactions. I think I believe an article that was recently in our local newspaper about if you go back far enough everyone on earth is related - and it is surprisingly not that far back either! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gwen Boyer Bjorkman" <gwenbj@seanet.com> To: "Nadine Holder" <nadineholder72@ssvecnet.com> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 8:27 PM Subject: RE: [PaOldC] ship records of TRANSPORTED JACOBITE REBELS, 1716 > Hi Nadine: Well, it is my theory that it is the same George Hodgson.
