Hello Folks, I am new to this list. Looking for information on Parents of Henry HODGES (AKA, H.G. OR Henry G.)[Not Edmonds son]: Generation No. 1 1. HENRY G.1 HODGES was born 12 Dec 1790 in SC, and died 12 Sep 1854 in Sevier County Tennessee. He married NANCY BURNS, See Marriage Notes, daughter of WILLIAM BURNS and MARY WILSON. She was born 27 Mar 1802 in Montgomery County Maryland, and died 21 Jun 1865 in Sevier County Tennessee. Notes for HENRY G. HODGES: Letter from JCW: () are mine BJH (Nancy Burns family moved to Sevier TN from MD about 1814.) Nancy married Henry Hodges AFTER they both moved to Sevier County, Tennessee and were PROBABLY married in Sevier County, TN. Sevier County Court house burned (1856) and most marriages records (except those in the Bibles) were destroyed. Wilson Burns, brother to Nancy, was married to Elizabeth Hodge, daughter of Edmond and Sarah Pearson Hodge, married 19 July 1826 in Sevier County, Tennessee. Found in one of the Burn-Hodge Bibles. Nancy's marriage only listed her husband and NO date. However, both families had moved to Sevier County when Nancy was about 12 years old I don't know when Henry came. The Burns moved to Sevier County about 1814 and Edmond showed up in Sevier County about 1810, last sold land in Marlboro Co., SC. More About HENRY G. HODGES: Burial: Boyd's Creek Cemetery, Sevier Co.

TN. abt 1814-16 Nancy married Henry G Hodges from HODGE/S-BURN/S Bible: NO date in Bible Boyd's Creek Cemetery and Boyd's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery can be confusing. Technically Boyd's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery is the OLD cemetery located behind Boyd's Creek Baptist Church. Boyd's Creek Cemetery BELONGS to Boyd's Creek Baptist Church and is located across the road from the church. More About NANCY BURNS: Burial: Boyd's Creek Cemetery Sevier Co.
