Thomas Hodge

Thomas Hodge, third son of Henry Hodge Sr. and Catherine Bryant, was born ca. 1777 near Fishing Creek in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Thomas came to Kentucky around 1798 with his older brothers Robert and William. He was a soldier, farmer, and surveyor

Thomas is listed in the 1801 Livingston County, Kentucky Tax List with just one horse. On May 18, 1807 Thomas married his stepmother’s daughter, Harriet Barnes. The couple was married by Jesse Ford who was a justice of the peace in Livingston County. Jesse was a Revolutionary War soldier and would later become sheriff of Livingston County and leader of the infamous Fords Ferry Gang. Harriet was the daughter of the late Bartholomew Barnes and Sarah Cotton/Cotten. Thomas and Harriet had nine children, but only seven children are known.

During the War of 1812, Thomas, along with his brother-in-law Christopher Haynes, enlisted in Capt. Moses Shelby’s Company, First Regiment Kentucky Mounted Militia. The First Regiment was under the command of Major General Isaac Shelby, first governor of Kentucky. The regiment fought at the Battle of the Thames, which resulted in the death of Tecumseh. A grisly legend from that battle was the skinning of Tecumseh. Kentucky veterans of the battle would show their friends strips of leather they claimed was cut from the hide of the fallen warrior.

In 1815 Thomas was the bondsman for the marriage of Elisha Stallion and Isabella Hardin. In the 1817 Tax List his holdings had grown to 4 slaves, 5 horses and 193 acres on Claylick Creek. In 1819 he was the bondsman in the marriage of Simon Beard and Salley Bracey. The Stallion’s and Beard’s were apparently close friends to Thomas. In the 1820 Livingston County census, Thomas was living near his brother William and brother-in-laws Presley Gray and John Berry along Claylick Creek. Children listed in the household: 1 male under ten, 3 females under ten and 1 female ten to sixteen. He is listed as a survey chainman on two Revolutionary War grants in 1825 near the Tennessee River in McCracken County, Kentucky. On May 1, 1826 Nancy Hodge, widow of William Hodge, and her brother-in-law, John Berry, entered into bond with Thomas as security in the estate of William Hodge. William had died in 1826 and Thomas was attempting to help his brother’s widow in the estate settlement. Thomas was last enumerated in the 1830 census at Salem which encompassed the eastern half of Livingston County.

Thomas died Nov. 24, 1837 in Livingston County and is buried at Hodge Number 3 cemetery near the old Berry’s Ferry in Livingston County, Kentucky. Isaac S. Coffield was named administrator of his estate. His wife Harriet died in 1850 and is buried at Union Cemetery in Levias, Crittenden County, Kentucky.

Charlotte Hodge married April 6, 1825 to Samuel M. Leming. The groom signed his name to the license as “Leaming” and no return was made [Liv. Co. Ky. M. Bk. 1; pg.13]. Consent to marry was signed Apr. 6, 1825. “Mr. Bigham will please issue a license for my daughter Charlotte Hodge to marry Saml. Leming and oblige yours” Signed Thos. Hodge. No further record on this family.

Sarah E. “Sallie Hodge was born 1811 in Livingston County. She married John William Williams in March 1828. Sarah’s first cousin, Josiah B. Hodge, was married to John’s sister Julia (see James Hodge’s Livingston County Land Transaction File). In 1840 Sarah and John were living in Hinds County, Mississippi near her cousin Mary Henry Hodge’s future husband, Peter Perkins. About 1846 they were back living in Livingston County and in the 1850 census at Smithland he was listed as a steamboat clerk. They moved to Little Rock, Arkansas around 1860, but the census record does not reveal his occupation. Her son’s John Jr., Fred and Charles were listed as agent/clerks (steamboat business?). Her son-in-law, John Corbly, was listed as a steamboat pilot. In 1870 her son William is listed as a steamboat pilot and her husband John is no longer listed in the household. By 1880 she had moved to Evansville, Indiana and was residing next to her brother Fidelio. Listed in her household at 917 Upper Water Street was her son Joseph and grandson Fred Corbly. She died in 1887 at her home of general debility and in that same year her son-in-law John Corbly died at Evansville of pneumonia.

Eleanor M. “Nellie” Hodge was born circa 1814 in Livingston County. Her marriage was in 1831 in Pope County, Illinois to Thomas Ferguson. Livingston County Order Book I, dated December 5, 1842: On motion of John B. McMican, order that R.W. Alcorn, Rice Bingham, Uriah G. Berry, C. Haynes & R.T. Berry, or any three of them, be appointed commissioners to allot to Mrs. Nelly McMican, late Ferguson and widow of Thomas Ferguson dec’d, her dower in the estate of Thomas Ferguson dec’d. Nelly and Thomas had one known child, Mary, was born in January of 1834. Mary married Nathaniel Franklin Carr who owned a dry goods store in Golconda. Prior to their marriage in 1851, Mary and Nathaniel were working for Uriah G. Berry at his store in Carrsville, Livingston County, Kentucky. Mary Ferguson and Uriah Berry were second cousins (see Maria Hodge and John Lewis Berry). Nathaniel and Mary later moved to Evansville where Nathaniel opens up wholesale liquor business, N.F. Carr & Co. In 1841 Nellie married her second husband, John D. (Broon/Brown?) (McMican) McMickin a brick mason, in Livingston County. She and John were living in Paducah in 1860 along with their two children and her sister Martha. In 1870 she was living at 914 Upper Second Street with her daughter Mary and Harriet Hodge who was a daughter of William S. Hodge of Pope County, Illinois. By 1880 she was living in the household of her sister Sallie Williams near her brother Fidelio. Nellie’s granddaughter, Nettie Carr, married Dr. Pitt Y. McCoy, who was a venerable physician at St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville. He graduated from the Rush Medical College at Chicago, Illinois in 1863. Dr. McCoy practiced medicine in Livingston County, Kentucky and Pope County, Illinois until 1873 when he moved to Evansville, Indiana after being appointed Surgeon for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Dr. McCoy’s first marriage was to Nellie Ann Caroline Woods in 1865 in Livingston County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Henry William and Nelm Ann “Nellie Ann” (Hodge) Woods. Dr. McCoy had one child by his marriage to Nellie Ann Woods. For more history on the McCoy family read the following books: “The Collings, Richeys and the Pigeon Roost Massacre” by Connie Hackman (1981) and “John McCoy, His Life and His Diaries” by Elizabeth Hayward (1948).

Fidelia Thomas “Fidelio” Hodge was born January 30, 1817 in Livingston County. He spent the early part of his life on his father’s farm near Berry’s Ferry and at the age of twenty-five he moved to Golconda, Illinois. He worked as a clerk in Golconda and by 1850 he had started his own dry goods business. His first marriage was to Julianna G. Griffith from Tennessee. They were married on September 9, 1847 in Randolph County, Illinois. Fidelio and Julianna had seven children. They were as follows: Henry Thomas, Indiana C. “India”, Richard F., Sally, Mary Agnes, Edward F. “Edwin” and Clinton. They were living in Pope County, Illinois in 1850 where he lists his occupation as a merchant. His second marriage was to Rose White of New Orleans, Louisiana. They were married on February 1, 1863 in Massac County, Illinois. Fidelio and Rose had three girls. They were Rose “Rosa”, Flora J., and Mary Fidelia “Maydell”. In the 1860 census he is listed twice, first as a merchant in Golconda and then as a farmer in the rural part of Pope County. There is some speculation that he was in the illegal whisky business and shipping his “liquid gold” to New Orleans. He apparently was hiding his corn whiskey business from the government to keep from paying taxes. It was probably on one of these trips down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans where he met his second wife Rose. He apparently did well in his illegal but lucrative business because in 1863 he had moved to Evansville, Indiana and spent $27,000 to start his whole sell liquor business at 200 Water Street. Fidelio did quite well and gained notoriety in the upper circles of Evansville. His home on First Street was pictured in the Riverside Tour Book of Evansville. His biographical sketch is listed in the book “History of Vanderburgh Co., Indiana, From The Earliest Times To the Present, With Biographical Sketches, Reminiscences, Etc.," Brant and Fuller, 1889. He submitted a brief sketch of his grandfather, Henry Hodge, to Orlando John Hodge. Orlando who later published a genealogy book: “Hodge Genealogy From The First Of The Name In This County To The Present Time With A Number Of Allied Families And Many Historical Facts” in 1900. Fidelio and his cousin, Captain Robert Hodge of Navarro County, Texas, spent their later years trying to claim the “Hodge Lost Fortune in England”. A brief description of this search was described in the handwritten letters of Alice Baldridge. These handwritten letters known as the “Baldridge Journal” are stored in the Clayton Genealogy Museum in Houston, Texas.

Elizabeth P. Hodge married June 30, 1841 to the Reverend John M. Harrington of New York. He was an ordained preacher in the United Baptist Association. Her uncle William Pippin who was justice of the peace at Salem married them. The bondsman was Richard Newman who also witnessed the marriage along with Leander Berry. The Rev. Harrington was later the bondsman in the marriage of Mary Louisa Hodge (daughter of Allen Hodge) and Cuthbert A. Berry (son of Maria Hodge) in December of 1841. On February 8, 1849 Rev. Harrington married Henry Gustavus Berry and Nancy Alcorn. This is the last known marriage he performed in Livingston County before moving to Illinois. John and Elizabeth were listed in the 1850 Massac County, Illinois census and in the 1860 census they are listed McCracken County, Kentucky. The Reverend John Harrington was a member of the United Baptist Church and preached in Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky. Elizabeth and John had nine known children. They were Roxa, Marvin, John, James, Mary, William, W.F., Elizabeth and Kate. The Reverend John M. Harrington was living with his son, Reverend John R. Harrington, in Camp Branch, Spencer County, Kentucky in 1880.

Edward S. Hodge was born May 15, 1826 in Livingston County. He married Martha Whitley of Tennessee on July 23, 1849 in Pope County, Illinois. They had one daughter named Laura. Edward lived next to his brother Fidelio in Golconda where he died on December 20, 1853. His body was bought back to Kentucky and was laid to rest next to his father at the family farm near Berry’s Ferry.

Martha Hodge was born circa 1832 in Livingston County. She was listed in her brother Fidelio’s household in the 1850 Pope County census. In 1860 she was living with her sister Nellie and brother-in-law at Paducah. On May 7, 1861 in McCracken County, Kentucky she married Zacharia “Zack” Booth. No further record.

 PAGE 451

FIDELIO T. HODGE, born January 30, 1817, is a native of Livingstone county, Ky.  His

parents, Thomas and Harriet (Barnes) Hodge, were natives of North Carolina, and with

the pioneers who drifted from that section over into western Kentucky in the early part of

the nineteenth century, migrated from their native home.  It was in 1805 that they settled

in the then wild west. There they lived and died, the father in 1837, the mother in 1850,

each at the age of sixty years.  The family consisted of nine children.  Their lives were

simple and their manners plain.  All labored together for the common support.  The

subject of this sketch made his home at his father's cabin until he was twenty-five years

of age.  At that age he went to Golconda, Ill., and for some time was engaged there as a

clerk.  From 1840 to 1846 he added materially to his fortune by trading along the coasts

of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, with the flat-boats and store boats that were so

common at that period.  Returning to Golconda, he began the business of a dry goods

merchant,and continued so occupied until 1863, when he removed to Evansville.  In the

following year his business house at No. 200 Water street was erected at a cost of

$27,000, where, ever since, he has been engaged in the wholesale liquor trade.  During

the twenty-four years of his residence here, he has been signally successful in business.

Mr. Hodge has been twice married.  In 1847 he was united in marriage with Julia A.

Giffith, whose death occurred in 1861.  Two years later, Miss Rose White, a native of

New Orleans, La., born in 1838, became his wife.  Of the first union seven children were

born, Henry, Richard, Sally, Edwin, Clinton, all now deceased, and Indiana and Mary

Agnes, now living;  of the second marriage there are three children:  Rose, Flora and Maydell.
