Who was the father of Henry Hodge of Edgecombe Co., NC. who later moved to Livingston Co., Ky. in 1804? Researchers and family members have been asking that question for nearly 140 years. Henry lived in both Edgecombe and Halifax counties which bordered Bertie, Martin and Pitt counties. We know from past research that he was a brother to Thomas Hodges Esq. of Edgecombe Co. and recent DNA research indicates that he is related to John Allen Hodges who died in Tennessee. This same research indicates that Henry was not related to the descendants of Roger Hodges of Norfolk Co., Va. who also lived in Pitt, Edgecombe and Halifax counties. Florence Sutherland Hudson in her book "We cousins (Virginia to Texas), Vol. II." published in 1957 had already made that conclusion. She stated that "in the 1790 census of North Carolina James, David, Robert and Henry (Our Henry) of the Isle of Wight Co. family, are in Halifax."
Dr. Joseph Anthony Hodges biographical sketch written by his son Edwin for the book "A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians” stated that "Robert Hodge (grandfather) was a native of North Carolina, who came to Kentucky about the beginning of the present century. He was three times married, his first wife being Miss Northern; his second wife was Miss Armistead and the name of his third wife is not known. Henry Hodge (great-grandfather) was one of the three brothers who came from England in Colonial days. One of the brothers went to Virginia, another to Maryland and Henry went to North Carolina. One of these. Anthony, for whom Dr. Joseph A. Hodge was named, always bore the name of "Hodges" as do his descendants to this day. After the death of Edwin Hodge Nancy S. Hughes Hodge (mother) married Dr. J. S. Gilliam, a Virginian by birth, but at that time a resident of Livingston (now Crittenden) county. He was in many respects a remarkable man and proved a most kind and indulgent stepfather. It was through his assistance and influence that Joseph A. Hodge became a physician."
Edwin Hodge, son of Dr. Joseph Anthony Hodge, stated in his autobiographical sketch that he posted in the book "History of Kentucky", published in 1922, that Henry Hodge was born in England. From his sketch: "He is descended from Henry Hodge, who was one of three brothers to come from England in Colonial days and settle in North Carolina. His son, Robert Hodge, was born in North Carolina, and came to Kentucky at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Edwin Hodge, grandfather of the Henderson tobacco man, represented the third generation of the family in America. He was born in Livingston County, Kentucky, in 1805, spent his life was a farmer, and died in 1837". This may be a reflection from the research of the "Hodge Lost Fortune" mentioned in the "Baldridge Journal" in which Cpt. Robert Hodge and Fidelio Hodge had done in the 1880s. Those three brothers would be Henry, Anthony and Thomas.
According to these two sketches Henry and his two brothers were suppose to have been born in England. Henry went to North Carolina and the second brother went to Virginia and the third to Maryland. I think this stems from the work of Capt. Robert Hodge and Fidelio Hodge, grandsons of Henry, when they were trying to claim the "Hodge Lost Fortune in England" in the early 1880s (see the Baldridge Journal extract below), but the story of the "Three Brothers" is also told by a descendant of John Allen Hodges of Tazewell, Tennessee. The following is from the biographical sketch of J.W. Hodges, a grandson of John and CountyClerk of Williamson County, Texas from 1892-1898: “The Hodges family are descended from three brothers. They lived on the Virginia side of North Carolina. John Hodges, the grandfather of our subject, was born in North Carolina, but removed to Tennessee in the early days.” Could this mean that Henry, Thomas and John are those brothers? Was Dr. Joseph Anthony Hodge named after Henry's brother Thomas' son Anthony that died in March 1811 and not Henry's brother as told in the story?
Rutledge T. Berry, son of Henry Hodge's daughter Maria, stated in his autobiographical sketch published in "Kentucky: A History of the State" in 1885, "Henry G. Hodge, a native of Virginia, and one of the earliest permanent residents of Salem Precinct. He settled three miles north of that village and died on his home farm as early as 1820 or 1825, at a good old age".
Dorothy Elliott stated in her research that Henry and Thomas were "Progenitors" of Robert Hodges Jr. of Bertie County, NC. Marilu Burch Smallwood in her book restated Dorothy Elliott's findings and defined the family of Richard R. Hodges who was the son of Robert Hodges Jr. We learn from her very careful analysis that Henry Hodges of Pitt, who was the son of Richard R. Hodges, was not our Henry Hodges. In the 1786 tax list (first census) for District 14 (Scotland Neck area) in Halifax Co., NC. Henry lived near the Joiner (Joyner), Griffin, Nelms, Wiggins, Cotton, Young, Bryant, Boykin and Williams famlies, just to name a few.
Since only two the above researchers, Dorothy Elliott and Marilu Smallwood, agreed that Henry was from the Isle of Wight Co., Va. Hodges, which one was his father? Was Henry's mother a Joyner? Was she the Patience Hodges who lived in Edgecombe and was the widow of Robert Hodges. Is James, David and Robert brothers to Henry and Thomas? Was Henry born in England as mentioned by Edwin Hodge and settled in North Carolina before moving to Kentucky or was he born in Virginia as stated by his grandson Rutledge T. Berry? What about the story of the "Three Brothers" told in Henry and John's families?
Henry, Thomas and the John Allen Hodges of Claiborne County, Tennessee could very well and mostly are the descendants of either John or Elias Hodges, both owned land in Edgecombe. How this puzzle fits together at this moment is still a mystery, but hopefully with the Hodges DNA Project we can finally put this to rest in the near future. -Marty K. Hodge
COLONIAL & REVOLUTIONARY FAMILIES OF NORTH CAROLINE -PART 2 By Marilu Burch Smallwood Published by the Author, Copyright 1964; Printed by Southern Press, Inc., MaconGA.
Thomas Hodges of 1790 Census Edgecombe Co., NC may have been son of Andrew Hedges (Hodges) of Prince George Co., MD who was presumably brother of James of Pasquotank Co., NC will 1758 (q.v). However Thomas could so easily have been descended from John Hodges or his brother Elias, both of whom had early land grants in Edgecombe. (Due to recent DNA results from FTDNA it has been determined that Thomas Hodges of Edgecombe Co., NC., the traditional brother of Henry Gustavus Hodges of Lineage VII, is not related to James Hodges of Pasquotank Co., NC of Lineage . The research of Dorothy Elliott appears to be more in line with this research; while the research of Jessie Lotta Hodges does not appear completely sound).

RICHARD HODGES (SON OF ROBERT)
Robert Hogges (or Hodges) removed from VA or Maryland and settled in Bertie County, NC prior to March 30, 1740 when his will was probated in Bertie. For will see "Elias Hodges (Son of Robert) Family". Robert Hodges married ________ who was living on March 30, 1740. She may have been named Catherine, for Elias son of Robert Hodges deeded on June 20, 1758 to "Benjamin land Cathrine Hodges now lives on". This Catherine was not Elias Hodges' wife, (presumably), and was not his sister, so must have been his mother. Robert Hodges and wife, (presumably Catherine), had six children, (from his will, q.v.). There were three sons, all of whom later received land in Beaufort County, NC and in all records their names were spelled Hodges. You have seen on first page of "Hodges (Hodge, Hogges, Hogge) in Md., VA., and NC", that Hodges, and Hogges are the same; the letter "g" in all of the names being given the "j" sound and so the pronunciation for all is identical.
Robert Hogges (Hodges) and wife Catherine (?) had children viz: (1) John Hodges had a land patent in Edgecombe Precinct of Edgecombe Co., NC June 8, 1739 (Colonial Records of NC by Saunders, page 350). He "proved his rights" in Edgecombe County on May 5, 1742 (Col. Rec. Vol. IV, pages 617,618) Edgecombe Precinct became a county on April 4, 1741 (Vol. 2 No. 3, NC Register by Hathaway, Page 412). John Hodges bought land in Beaufort Co., NC in June 1745 from his brother Elias (270 acres for 400£ (See Book 2, page 441 Register of Deeds' OfficeBeaufortCounty).
One John Hodges gave land to John Jr. in Beaufort Co., NC in 1752 and 1756. John Hodges was, no doubt, ancestor of same of the Hodges in PittCounty and possibly also of the same in Edgecombe and Bertie, as he had owned land in all three counties. The author knows nothing more about this John Hodges.
(2) Richard Hodges had a land grant in 1741 in Beaufort County, NC. He died in Beaufort Co., NC between Sept. 3, 1747 when he made his will and April 16, 1752 when his will was probated. He Married Sarah _______ who was living Sept. 3, 1747. They had issue (q.v.)
(3) Elias Hodges had a land grant in Beaufort Co., NC in 1741. In 1758 he made a deed of gift to Benjamin son of Benjamin Hodges. In 1758 he deeded land to Robert Hodges. One land transfer after Elias' death named Elizer Hodges as Page 227 his heir at law and Samuel Hargrove was an heir. In one 1758 record he was called "Elias Hodges of Bertie" and in 1766 he was called Elias of Pitt Co. For more about him see "Elias Hodges (Son of Robert)".
(4) Ann Hodges married Moore.
(5) Olive Hodges married _________Wiggins.
(6) Martha Hodges married Isaac Williams.

Wife: Sarah. Executor: John Hodges (son). Witnesses: James Coupper, James Singleton, Thomas Williams. Clerk of Anson County Court: Anthony Hutchins.
Richard Hodges (aforesaid son of Robert of Bertie Co., NC) removed from Bertie to BeaufortCounty where he had a land grant in 1741 and he died in Beaufort prior to April 16, 1752. He married Sarah _______ who was living when he made his will Sept. 3, 1747. They had three children, viz: (1) John Hodges was living Sept. 3, 1747, when his father made his will. He may have been ancestor of some of the Hodges in Pitt Co., NC whose ancestry in unknown to the author. (The Pitt County Court House was burned and the old wills were destroyed.) See later on some deeds to this John Hodges. (2) Henry Hodges received the "manor plantation" by his father's will. Some of this land may have been cut off into PittCounty when it was formed in 1760. Pitt Co. deeds, Book P. page 289 show that Henry married Mary _______and had eight children (q.v.) (3) Sarah Hodges (No further record)
Note by Dorothy Elliott: These Hodges are progenitors of Henry, Sr. who left Edgecomb Co., ca 1804 & settled in Livingston Co., KY. Closely allied to a Thomas Hodge in Edgecomb Co. NC

HENRY HODGE
About the year 1800 emigrated from Tarborough, Edgecombe Co., NC., to Livingston County, Ky., and settled near the Ohio river. His first wife was a BRYANT, and the second a BARNES. He died about 1834.
Mr. F.T. Hodge, of Evansville, Ind., a grandson of this Henry, writes that his grandfather used to tell about some British soldiers coming to his house during the Revolutionary war. George, John, and Alexander Hodge, of North Carolina, were all in the Revolutionary war, -- the latter a lieutenant, -- but whether or not they were of the family of Henry Hodge has not been ascertained. Many of the Hodges of New England were mariners and frequently visited the coast towns of the South. Some of them it is known located there, and it is not improbable that those in North Carolina were of Northern parentage. Mr. Hodge had by his first wife seven children and his second three (see p. 289.)
The children:
ROBERT HODGE; said to have been the richest man in Livingston, Ky.
WILLIAM HODGE, d. in 1827.
THOMAS HODGE, d. 1837; m. and had Fidelio T. Hodge, of Evansville, Ind.
HENRY HODGE, lived in Tennessee; d. abt. 1850.
JAMES HODGE, res. Livingston Co., Ky.; d. 1833; father of H.C. Hodge, of Keokuk, Iowa, who had four sons.
ALLEN HODGE, res. Livingston, Ky.; d. 1835.

(Selected entries)
Fidelio Hodge of Evansville, Indiana and Captain Robert Hodge of Navarro County, Texas spent their later years trying to claim the “Hodge Lost Fortune in England”. Both men were grandsons of Henry Hodge. Fidelio, the son of Thomas and Captain Robert Hodge, the son of Robert Sr. 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 ClaytonGenealogyMuseum in Houston, Texas. These letters are not complete proof of Henry’s other brothers or who his father may have been, but it does leave for interesting reading.

To finish this business, we need to find the Ancestors of John Hodge.
Looked over a copy of Dugah’s Registry. It offers no help for our cause. Please give my kindest good-will to your dear Mother and to all our friends in your family – with highest regards Jas. M. Allan.
I wrote to Fidelia T. Hodge of Evansville, Ind. about the publication in the Globe Democrat. He said the paper was mislaid – thought the date of publication was Sept 1, to 10, 1881. Can find no information about it.

Joseph L. Hodge of Wichita says he has or owns this old family Bible, and that he has sent for it. Have heard nothing more from him.
I wrote to Robert Hodge of Chatfield, Navarro Co., Texas, to Rev. W.R. Richardson of San Antonio, and to – M Rice, daughter of J.B. Hodge, have heard from one of them. Wanted information about Joseph Hodge and his Will. I thought they might be descendants of Samuel Hodge of Christian Co. Ky. ca. 1806-07, who was a brother of your grandfather named Joseph.

rode horseback into Kentucky and stayed for awhile with Samuel Hodge. father of Rev. John. From there they went into Ohio to visit a sister of Rev? Hodge. From there they went to grandfather Hodge in Tennessee. After my father, Charles Allan was graduated, he went to grandfather Hodge’s in Tennessee where he taught school. He married my mother July 20, 1809. He went in 1811 or 12 to Christian Co., near where Samuel Hodge lived in Tennessee and took charge of LebanonAcademy. My sister Eliza Smith of Jacksonville, was born in Christian Co, Ky Dec 7, 1812. You say in your letter that Mrs. Helen Rice, and her father, J.B. Hodge, and his brother Robert Hodge and Mr. Richardson of San Antonio are the Kentucky Hodges.

Then: My father’s given name was Robert Hodge. My grandfather, Henry Hodge lived in Edgecomb Co. N.C. My father was his oldest son- If alive now would be 110 years old. I am the seventh son and the oldest living one my Grandfather’s decendents. My father moved to Livingston Co. Ky. and built the second house there. He was one of Boone’s contemporaries. I came to Texas in 1850 and settled where I now live. Will write again if hear anything

A letter from Capt. Robert Hodge to Gertie. Have just received a letter from Virginia with the following information. In the records at Portsmouth are the wills of 5 or 6 Hodges, all recorded from 1760-1784. Mentioned in the Wills are my Grandfather Henry, Thomas and Anthony, his two brothers and John Hodges.

Part of Capt. Hodges letter
I find in looking back my great grandfather was named Charles. He had seven sons, Robert, Charles, John, Thomas, Anthony, Henry, and I think George or William. Robert and Charles moved to Tennessee in the first settlement. Thomas John and Henry moved to N. Carolina, and Anthony stopped in N.C. for
Page 49
awhile, and then went to South Carolina. This was in colony times. The Father of all of them was from England and died in Virginia. George or William, I am not certain where he went perhaps to Georgia. I believe I wrote you I had the report of John A. Logan (he makes a mistake in the name, I believe it is Charles Logan, a brother of J.A.L who is running for Vice President) an attorney employed by the other party to go to London to investigate Charles Hodges will. Their report corroborates with the report of my attorney in London, Robert Hunt Esq. but more thorough. They both report the estate in two counties immense estimated to be worth two hundred and fifty millions and still in the hands of administrators, subject to the claims of proper heirs.
John Young of La. who is now helping me work this thing up spent three days with me not long ago, and we have employed another attorney of his organization in London to make some further investigations of the records in London. We will expect a reply in a month from now. I am still working with the same determined will to get it if possible; it is worth trying for at least, but few things in my long life I have undertaken but I have accomplished many much more unlikely than this, this not so difficult
You old cousin Robert Hodge

Old Cousin Robert Hodge says, in looking back, I find my great grandfather’s name was Charles. He had
Page 63
7 sons, Robert, Charles, John, Thomas, Anthony, Henry, and I think George or William. Robert and Charles moved to Tenn. in the first settlement. Thomas, John and Henry moved to N.C. and Anthony stopped there for awhile and moved to S.C. This was in colony times. The father of all of them was from England and died in Virginia. George or William, I am not sure where he went, perhaps to Georgia. Could this John and George have been those we just hear of in N.C. in 1779?

Copy of a letter published in The San Antonio Express June 27, 1882
Dear brother; You know our grandfather was named Henry Hodge, he had his brother Thomas who lived and died in N.C. he had children. The other brother was named Anthony.
Our father named Edwin’s oldest boy Anthony after his uncle. He lived and died in North Carolina. He had a family of children. Old Anthony Hodge and family claimed the old family name Hodges. Our family and old Thomas Hodges of N.C. shortened the name and spelled it Hodge. Now can you remember the given name of these three brothers I mean our great grand father Hodge? It is important. One Joseph Hodge, for whom Uncle Harry Hodge named his son Joseph died in England nearly one hundred and two years ago. His estate was then worth over one hundred million dollars. He made a will that his estate should not be divided before the expiration of one hundred years. This time has now been out for nearly two years. The interest has been accumulating for one hundred and two years. I have met with several of Anthony Hodges descendants, very intelligent men, and are commission merchants of New Orleans. They remember hearing their grandfather speak of his two brothers Henry and Thomas of N. Carolina. Now I have no doubt that we are heirs of Joseph
Page 83
Hodges deceased, of England, but the difficulty is how do we identify our kinship? I am investigating this matter as fast as I can and want all you know about it. So, began to answer to me the following questions. What was the name of our great grand father? What time did he emigrate from Wales, England to Virginia. Have you any knowledge when our grandfather, Henry Hodges two brothers left Virginia for the Carolinas? Do you know when our family abbreviated our name from Hodges to Hodge? It may become necessary for me to jog your memory again, as I proceed in this investigation. A gentleman friend of Fidelia Hodge will sail to London the 1 of May. I will make a statement of all the facts, I know in the case and all I can gather and send it to J.P. Benjamin, who is the Queen’s Counsel at London. He was in the cabinet of Jeff Davis with J.H. Reagan.
Your young brother, Robert Hodge
This letter came into possession of Mrs. Helen M. Rice of San Antonio, shortly after the death of her father, J.B. Hodge, who received it on his dying bed. He died at her home in Franklin, Robinson County, Texas, aged 87. It was written by his brother, Robert Hodge of Chatfield, Navarro County, Texas. Mrs. Rice’s people came originally from Wales, and located in Va. and N. Carolina. Mrs. Rices’s father came from that branch which at first lived in North Carolina but her great grandfather moved to Kentucky when his son, afterwards her father was but a small boy. Since it has come to light that a great fortune
Page 84
was willed to the family, the will to be opened one hundred years from it’s date, and that period having now elapsed, the decendents of the original family have gone busily to work to hunt up their claims and to bring the required proof of their legality.
