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.
