Can any one find a Leroy Hodges in the 1829/30 Census that would be living next door to a Richard HODGES. And then does any one have anything about these people. Thanks Peggy Sue O'Shields-Gaddis [email protected]

Peggy Sue, A few miles from where I live is a little historical town called Hodges, SC. It was named after a member of one of the Hodges' families living there, George Washington Hodges. His ancestor, Major ? Hodges of revolution era is buried in a family cemetery there and an article was in the local paper a few days ago about how the present owner of the land has allowed the cemetery to be destroyed. He wouldn't let the family descendants clean and put a fence around it. The stones have been broken and there's all kinds of trash where he allows his customers to his go cart race track access through the cemetery. Some people have little respect for the deceased. I'd be afraid they would come back to haunt me! There's a Hodges list on rootsweb for descendants to subscribe to and help fight this cause. They are working with the state government to get a law passed to make it a crime to do such damage. Supposedly all the bodies were removed from the cemetery except the Major's, but they feel there were others still there. To join that list send an e-mail with the subject blank and on the first line of the body of the letter the word subscribe typed to [email protected] Everyone is invited to join this cause.
