- "From the Hodges Family history (Thought to be from the family Bible records):
Charles Hodges, (Great-Grandfather) emigrated from VA to TN in an early day together with three sons as follows:
Welcome Hodges, located to Pleasant Hill MO in 1848, and his family was reared there.
Caloway Hodges and Charles Hodges settled in Jefferson County TN and many of them now live in and around Hodges in that county.
Of these three sons was our Grandfather Charles Hodges and his children were as follows:
William Hodges
Calvin Hodges
Preston Hodges
B. Marshall Hodges
Fannie Hodges
Nepolian Hodges
(No dates were recorded for the above children.)
Grandfather, Charles Hodges was born Feb 18, 1792 and Elizabeth (Thompson) Grandmother Hodges was born Jan 1797.
You will note Grandmother was a Thompson, she was a sister to William Thompson who was a life guard of Andrew Jackson and after the French and Indian war they had quite a correspondence, but Jackson letters were burnt up in the old Thompson home some years ago.
Grandfather died in Fl on Nov 7, 1837. Grandmother died at the old home Dec 5, 1849.
I compile this list, although it is far from being complete, hoping it may be of interest to some of our relatives now and at some future date,
Sincerely Yours, C. F. Hodges"
