Hi Gail, I believe that your Moses was a brother of my Rachel, b. 1793 in Grainger, and son of Ambrose Hodge and Elizabeth (UNK). Rachel had sons Bartholomew and Moses. This William Moses was a son of (possibly) this Bartholomew. The name Moses is still used in my line i.e. G-Uncle Robert Moses Hodge, Uncle George Mose Hodge, and 3rd cousin William Moses Hodge. I'm trying to prove that this Bartholomew was truly Rachel's eldest son, b. 1812. 1804 Tax List -- Capt. Howell's Dist.

Dear Kenneth, I note with interest the names Mose and or Wm Moses in your Hodge family. My third great grandfather Benjamin Ivey (Ivy)'s sister Delilah married Moses Hodge (Ben and Delilah's parents were Henry and Jane Howell Ivey). I do not have a listing of Moses and Delilah's children and as off yet I have not found a will or estate settlement for Moses. Of course that does not necessarily mean that Moses was your Bartholmew's father. It does seem to me that the early Hodges in Grainger County are connected, but it is unclear what the connection is.

If you edit a family or organization newsletter where this will be applicable, please publish it there. Disclaimer out of the way: I have no financial interest in this publication, so this isn't an advertisement. I'm trying to spread the word about an awesome resource. I am holding in my hands (and typing <g>) the long-awaited book by David C. Smith, entitled _Campaign_to_Nowhere:_The_Results_of_General_Longstreet's_Move_into_Upper_Ea st_Tennessee_. It is literally hot off the press and would be an ideal Christmas/Hanukkah gift for a wide range of researchers. You may recognize Cleve Smith's name -- he is without peer among Civil War historians in central East Tennessee, with special interest in the events in Jefferson County and its immediately surrounding area. This book, then, has historic value to those researching the Civil War period in Jefferson, Knox, Sevier, Grainger, Hamblen, Cocke, and Hawkins Counties. The book is professionally printed and bound, 8.5" x 11" in size, with 249 pages, 255 pictures, numerous maps/charts/drawings, an index, source notes, a bibliography, and a full-color soft cover depicting artifacts and photographs. The book contains historical accounts, accompanied by Cleve's personal insights after half a lifetime of researching in this area. It also contains anecdotes from descendants of soldiers and the experiences of Cleve and others during on-site surveys. The writing style is engaging, and the material could be read and comprehended by anyone from junior high reading level to adult. There isn't a better published resource for Civil War history specific to this area available anywhere. This was a limited-edition printing of only 500 copies, and nearly 20% were pre-sold. So, you'd better hurry if you want a copy! You may order the book for $25.00, postage-paid, from David C. Smith, 1173 Mountain View Drive, New Market, TN 37820-3817. --part1_0.30a77f49.258f011d_boundary--

Hey group, is there a listing for the Wolfe Cemetery at Thorn Hill, Grainger Co.,Tennessee? Thanks, George E. Wolfe Jr.

Hi Jim, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! If you had not posted the SYMANTEC URL listed below, I would not have had verification that the "odd-ball" msg to me from me with an attachment shown as GADGET.EXE is a VIRUS. The wording in the msg was: Opps, I can't list the URL that was shown because it keeps highlighting, but it was in colour and mentioned: Stuart and message mates. The rest of the msg was: "Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and animations. We attached our recent animation from this site in our mail. Check it out". It came to me through the another genealogy list as a reply. The sender was shown as Me and recipient was shown as ME. My addy was used in both locations and I knew I hadn't sent any msgs. to anyone, let alone myself. Oddly enough though, I did 2 on-line scans and neither one found it. However, I did delete the msg and then emptied the trash. Did not open it. There is a large list of .exe files that this virus is using, please be careful.
