Hi Ross, Do you have any additional info on the Hodges of Jefferson Co. that you mentioned in your note? I show a family with some common names that may be related. It looks as though you have Frances (?) Hodges as a widow of a Hodges, is that correct? Charles Hodges Sr. B. 1752 Commissioned Capt. Tenn. Miltia on 10/12/1794 D. 4/13/1836 Buried Hodges Switch Cem., Strawberry Plains, Tn. Wife Frances Calloway B. 1758 md. ca 1779-82 D. 11/13/1851 Bur Hodges Sw. Cem.

Other non Hodges ] Ken >In addition to some other lines, I have some Moore relatives in the Bradford family of Jefferson County, which was quite prominent in legal and political circles there in the early-mid 1800s. Also the Reese and Fain families, not to mention Camerons, too. There are several references to Bradfords in the Jefferson County history section of Goodspeed's 1887 History of Thirty East Tennesee Counties: > child (?): [1860C,RoaneCo.,TN,189-196; not in 1850C(?)] > Mary E.
