JAMES, I AM DOING RESEARCH ON THE HODGES THAT LIVED IN HYDE CO, NC. THIS IS WHERE MY ROOTS ARE THE MOST RECENT. I AM SUCCESSFUL BACK TO 1816, WITH WILLIAM M. HODGES BORN 1816, MARRIED 1837, DIED 1900. HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE NAME OF WILLIAMS FATHER & MOTHER. I NEED TO GO TO RALEIGH TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH. THE EARLIEST HODGES IN HYDE CO. WAS JAMES HODGES - 1790 CENSUS, HE DIED 1797 AND THE CENSUS OF 1800 LISTS HIS WIFE MARY AS HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, WITH CHILDREN AND SLAVES. I DON'T KNOW WHERE JAMES CAME FROM BEFORE 1790, OR WHEN HE WAS MARRIED AND WHAT MARY'S MAIDEN NAME WAS. LOTS OF INFO MISSING, BUT, I WILL KEEP TRYING.

LET ME KNOW IF I CAN SHARE ANY OF MY INFO WITH YOU. REGARDS HAVEN
