Dear Bedford Researchers, I am trying to determine the parents or siblings of Thomas Calvin Hodges who is my gg-grandfather. Here is the information I have. Thomas Calvin married Harriet S. Mitchell, dau. of Daniel, 5 Nov. 1849 in Bedford Co. VA. They were 22 and 21 years of age. In the 1860 Bedford Co. census they had Sarah E. 8, William Eldredge 5 (My ggrandfather) Robert M. 3 John W. 1 They lived next door to Benjamin HODGES, a year younger than Thomas, and Jesse & Sallie HODGES who are the right age to be Thomas's parents. (A Jesse had married a Sallie Wood 23 Oct 1826 in Bedford Co.) My Thomas(he may have gone by Calvin) enlisted at Liberty May 1, 1862. At the end of the war he was a prisoner of War. A Jesse D. HODGES enlisted at Liberty on March 2, 1862. He died of wounds and a Register of Claims of Deceased Officers and Soldiers was presented for him by his father Jesse HODGES. Harriet MITCHELL died, and Thomas C. married Mary Susan CALLAHAN and had several more children. Thomas died in 1899 and is in buried in Fairview Cem.,at Buchanan, Va. My GGrandfather William Eldredge HODGES married Sarah Virginia WOOD in Bedford County at Caleb Fuqua's Farm 21 Febrary 1878. Does anyone have any information about any of these Hodges, that might give me a lead? Sincerely, Lynn Snead Blankenship San Saba, TX jerlyn@centex.net
