I hope the person I'm looking for is on this list.......... Back a few months ago, someone kindly sent me two files on Watson's that were on the Saluda River. Unfortunately, before I could get the files saved to a secure location, I lost all my email. If that person is on this list, could you kindly resend the files to me. I promise to get them stored right away. ;-) Cynthia --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Cynthia, I'm probably not the person that you're looking for... but I do know of a Hezekiah Watson who is buried in the Hodges Family Cemetery in Greenwood County, SC. I have no idea how he is related to my Hodges ancestors, but surely he must be or he wouldn't be there!!! I hope this helps... I also have the book ABSTRACTS OF OLD NINETY-SIX AND ABBEVILLE DISTRICT WILLS AND BONDS, by Pauline Young, and his will abstract is in there. I'll send it to you if this is the ancestor that you are looking for... Here's the site ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sc/greenwood/cemeteries/hodges.txt Good luck...

Mary, Yes, that is my 4th gr-gf. I don't know how he is related to the Hodges either. I thank you for the offer regarding the wills, but I already have his estate papers. He died intestate, so there was an estate sale which lists many Hodges names. I thought for a while that his wife may have been a Hodges, but recently found information that she may have been Gilley Anderson. Gilley Watson is listed on an inventory sheet as having purchased items from the estate sale. I always thought the Gillie Watson listed was his wife as my gr-gm was named Gillie. Possibly one of their daughters married a Hodges or either Hezekiah or Gillie's families were Hodges. I thought it odd that he was buried in a family cemetery and like you just assumed he was related to the Hodges in some way. If so would sure like to know how. Thank you for your reply and sending the link to the cemetery site. I got his birth and death information with your help. Much appreciated!
