The families I am researching in the Sumter area are: Hodge, Davis, Hudnall, Wall, Norton, Haley, McCeland, Courtney, Nichols, Lawrence and Thigpen. Most were in NC and VA before SC. I am most interested in the Hodge families. My ancestor, John Hodge was born (possibly in Sumter District )1775. I would like to document his parents and beyond. I am compiling a list of all Hodge in the hopes of one day tying them all together. Does anyone have info on the arrivals of any Hodge members to North America? At the moment the only arrival I have is Francis Hodge and his family. I live in Savannah, Georgia Thanks Faye
