Hello Katye, I am descended from the same James BAGGETT as your husband. I believe William Jefferson was the brother of my great-great Grandfather Charles Thomas Hodges. I have that information somewhere, but cannot lay my hands on it at this time. I am positive that another HODGES researcher on this mail list can correct me if this information is wrong. I hope this answers your questions, but if not, let me know and I will happily try to provide more information for you. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/29/01 5:02:51 PM Pacific Daylight Time, KatyeBess@aol.com writes: > Subj: Re: [ROOTWALKER] Surnames and intro > Date: 4/29/01 5:02:51 PM Pacific Daylight Time > From: KatyeBess@aol.com > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Stan, Please tell me to which of The Baggetts and Hodges that you belong? > My > husband descends from James Baggett, Rev.
