Isabelle Hammock HODGES United Daughters of Confederacy

terimichelle7 — 2013-05-18 21:17:28Z

By Duncan Adams The Roanoke Times
© May 18, 2013 ROANOKE

The aging but apparently vigorous Civil War veteran married a teen bride. The couple had eight children.

Research by members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy shows that Nathaniel “Nat” Hammock was 67 years old and Lessie Gray Myers was 16 when they married Aug. 8, 1908. Nat died at age 84 in 1925, just two weeks after the birth in Pittsylvania County of a daughter whose impressions of her father have relied solely on others’ accounts.

Isabelle Hammock Hodges of Franklin County said cards started flooding in early last year after word spread among UDC chapters that Hodges, 88, is a “real daughter” of a Confederate veteran.

The cards keep coming. Hodges recently received a $5 gift card to Walmart from the Florida-based Bonnie Blue Flag Chapter 2329 of the UDC.

Research by the Franklin County-based Jubal Early Chapter 553 of the UDC had determined that Hodges and her older sister, Mildred Adkins, who lives in Danville, were survivors among 15 known offspring fathered by Nat Hammock during two marriages. Hodges was formally admitted to the UDC on Jan. 28, 2012.

And she says now that her induction and the bushels of cards that followed helped keep her alive early last year when she was suffering a variety of ailments.

“I knew I had to get better,” she said.

On Saturday, Hodges and Adkins will be among the guests of honor during a Veterans Memorial Ceremony presented by the Franklin County Historical Society to recognize county residents who were casualties of the nation’s wars.

The tribute begins at 10:30 a.m. on the lawn of the Franklin County Courthouse in Rocky Mount.

Linda Stanley, the society’s special projects coordinator, said Saturday’s event will emphasize what she described as “antique wars” — the Revolutionary War, Civil War and War of 1812. Memorial Day activities often focus on more contemporary wars, she said.

Hodges and Adkins will receive cotton boll corsages, Stanley said, in honor of their father’s service to the Confederate States of America. She said the two women are the last known surviving daughters of Confederate veterans in Virginia.

Nat Hammock reportedly signed up for the Southern side in Pittsylvania County in August 1863 and joined Company E of the 57th Virginia Infantry.

He apparently spent much of his military career sickened by severe diarrhea, a condition that required his hospitalization in Danville, Farmville and Lynchburg, according to the Jubal Early Chapter’s research.

Hodges was 3 years old when her mother died in August 1928. She and five of her siblings went to live on a farm in the Truvine section of Franklin County with the family of Benjamin Dickerson Hammock, a half brother born during Nat Hammock’s first marriage.

“We just called him ‘Brother Ben,’ ” Hodges recalled. “I didn’t know he was my half brother until much later.”

Hodges was not yet 16 years old when she married Walter Raymond Hodges.

She said that when they first met she knew he was “going out with different girls” and was surprised when he courted her and then proposed.

“He told me he was just messing around with the others waiting for me to grow up,” Hodges said.

The couple had no children but raised three offspring of Isabelle’s youngest brother. One of the three, Delano “Hippie Joe” Hammock, died from an apparent heart attack in 2002 when he was 40 years old.

Walter Raymond Hodges died nearly one year later at 84.

Isabelle Hodges worked in textile manufacturing at the Angle Silk Mill and successor J.P. Stevens for a total of about 33 years before retiring in 1988.

Although she had been told that her father had served in the Confederate army, the reality of that service became more tangible, she said, after her recognition by the Jubal Early Chapter.

Hodges said she had known next to nothing about Nat Hammock. People had told her he was “a good man.”

The Jubal Early Chapter’s research and the attention it drew made her father seem more real, she said.

“I could almost touch him, I’d been with him so much,” Hodges said.

My wife has recently passed on and I am trying to fill in a few blanks on her family tree. The good people at latter day saints gave me her maiden name which is Stewart, born 1819, married 1838, died 1891. I know it is a long time since your query but I hope this is of some help.

Richard Hodges and Elizabeth Jones

thetishbite01 — 2013-04-17 20:20:59Z

Richard Hodges was English born, Elizabeth was born in Virginia to a family that had been in the colonies for some time. She was illiterate signing with an X on her own will. It is not a sin to be illiterate it is a sin to judge her to be less than she was for it.
On 14 April 1764 Richard and Elizabeth sold property in South Farnham, Essex county, Virginia. The land was described as that land formerly purchased by Richard from Augustine Washington and Ann his wife.
Between the time of this sale and the American Revolution the family moved to District 76 in South Carolina. Later it was Abbeville County. Now the land is just outside Hodges South Carolina. The land was described in Elizabeth's will as; 170 Acres lying on Mulberry Creek the waters of Saluda River.
No other family has had as much scrutiny as this Hodges family. Before the American Depression a book was written that was a great help to most of us. Moraigne's in America had most of Richard's children listed and his wife's name correct. I believe they erred because of the more famous member of the family who stayed in South Carolina, Richard's son Major John Hodges, the father of George Washington Hodges. It was an assumption that put a plug in true directional searching for many years. Colonel Al Metts who is in his nineties now spent a good deal of money researching Richard Hodges in Virginia. He found records on taxes, legal records, land sales records and marriage records but they were all Richard with Elizabeth. He believed the ancestor's name was Richard. Colonel Al Metts retired joined an email list where he found six of us who were intent on finding Richard's true name and back story. It was a gentleman in Florida who found Nathaniel Ware Hodges' personal history naming Richard. For us the evidence Colonel Al Metts retired had found in Virginia and the Nathaniel Ware Hodges personal history was a game changer!
His name was Richard! We now went to the big cities, all the counties up and down the coast looking for a birth, or christening record that would give us his parents names. It didn't take long for all of us to give it up again. There was nothing there at all.
A friend told me he'd found a young Richard Hodges born in England who was a bond servant at a Tobacco farm in Essex County Virginia. The dates were right but I couldn't believe then that our ancestor hadn't come with the Virginia Company in 1511. I wanted too much for the story to be heroic. I was too judgmental on the bond servant idea. However, as time passed and nothing else showed up I allowed myself to believe that Richard must have been a bond servant. In fact I've decided that it is a heroic story. Richard's father John had to find a way to get his children to the land of promise. So he sold them into a soft form of slavery, even Richard who was five years old! I can only imagine the fear and longing for his home and mother Richard must have gone through as that ship left England.
Bond servants were instructed to treat their masters like great ladies and gentlemen. She was "My Lady" and he was "Sir". Every command must be obeyed or you could receive a horrible beating. Everybody was beating their children to teach them to work and obey so a beating of a young bond servant wasn't such a horrible thing really. Richard seems to have turned out just fine. He could read and write and figure his finances.

Re: Hodges Ancestry

thetishbite01 — 2013-04-17 19:54:58Z

You are very welcome. The whole story with all the genealogists researching Richard whom everyone thought was John is vast. In 1962 my aunt Pearl paid a professional genealogist who did a marvelous job finding the descendants of Richard, his children, and seven generations of grand-children. My aunt was happy with what she got. She was aware of the dead end with John Hodges. But it was many years after her death in 1970 before we learned his name was Richard. That was wonderful but the records in the United States on Richard Hodges born about 1725 were non-existent. As I learned and thought about the problem I decided he must have come in as a passenger between 1725 and 1744. That was a huge problem because I had no idea where to look for a passenger or bond servant list.
The new ideas with computer sharing have produced a miracle of ease for researching.
Ancestry.com is a large part of that miracle. It was a wonderful surprise finding Richard on that shipping list when Ancestry.com gave me two weeks free checks on ship passenger lists. After that I bought full access and have been finding all kinds of good evidence to support the ideas I have had to carry on.

Thank you so much for your postings and I believe I have read all of them.I have only been researching a short time. My husband is descended from James L Hodges and Nancy Ware, Most of the genealogies I have seen have lead me to think the father of James was named John Hodges, I certainly appreciate the education I am receiving, in particular the Indian attack story.As well as finding out about Richard Hodges.

Hodges Ancestry

thetishbite01 — 2013-04-12 03:12:41Z

I am the lucky one this time. Computers, and extracting/indexing have been of the greatest benefit since I began doing genealogy. I've been having much success with my mother's line; Lease, and my father's Hodges line. I've found through the Conn line that Howard Hughes was my 5th cousin. And then I found that Richard Hodges born 1720 was a bond servant who arrived at Annapolis, Maryland in 1725. His father was John Hodges and his mother Sarah. I noticed the postings of one genealogist who had Richard Hodges with another family during a census of the period. They assumed that Richard was one of the children. It has been a thorn in my side trying to clear that up, but I knew that Richard was a bond servant and then I had the family he was bonded to!
Almost immediately after serving his term of bondage he met and married Elizabeth Jones of Essex County, Virginia. He also paid his taxes by working on the road into the mountains.
Richard sued her father's estate because her father Richard Jones had promised her 500 pounds if she married to his liking. He liked Richard but left her out of the will. Richard won but had to pay his lawyer in tonnage of tobacco.
Richard's son Richard was apparently attacked on the street of the town. There are court records.
Richard and Elizabeth had quite a large family before buying property in Abbeville District, SC. There they established residence on Mulberry Creek in Abbeville Districk close to the current location of a go-cart racetrack.
The exact date is not known but one of the presidents ancestors had land close and recorded the Indian attacks. Richard and several of his daughters were killed, and the cabin burned. Elizabeth recorded that she and the remaining children lived in a hollow "tree" probably a giant log.
Richard, James, John, and Charles all went to fight in the Revolutionary War after their father's death.
I am proud to be descended through Richard to this family.

Re: George Washington Hodges, of Hodges SC

thetishbite01 — 2013-04-12 02:57:43Z

The most excellent book Moragne's in America had much information used by many who are descended from the Hodges family of SC. There was one fatal flaw that put all the genealogists in a tail spin for oh, eighty years or so. Because there was a John Hodges who owned land close to the Richard Hodges family it was assumed that John was the name of Richard's, John's and the rest of the family's father. However the 5 excellent genealogists who worked hardest on it over the last thirty years especially Colonel Al Metts retired. Col Metts found legal documents in Essex county with Richard Hodges and his father Richard. He was looking for John but kept the notes as we ought. Col Metts contacted a gentleman whose name I've forgotten who found a hand written document in a college in SC written by one of the grandsons through James one Rev. Nicholas Ware Hodges wrote that his grandfather's name was Richard. The document was shared with the five, and myself. We all agreed that we have been barking up the wrong tree!
Richard and not John was the father of my Richard!
Not long ago 2005-2007, I heard that extractions of ship passenger lists were being done. Not a month ago Ancestry dot com emailed me with a free offer to check Ship Passenger Lists!
To my utter astonishment I found Richard Hodges born 9 Sep 1720 Stretton-Grandison, Herefordshire, England had traveled to Annapolis, Maryland as a bond servant! His parents were listed as John and Sarah!
Needless to say I immediately search for John and Sarah and found them; John Hodges born 4 Apr 1686 in Stretton-Grandison, Herefordshire, England! His wife's information is not available. However I looked until I found John Hodges Christening record and found John and Joan Hodges. John born 10 Apr 1654 in Stretton-Grandison, Herefordshire, England. His father is Francis Hodges born 1635, nothing on mother, Francis father was John Hodges born 1619, his mother was Mary Johnson. John's father was Michael Hodges, his mother Elizabeth. Michael was Christened 22 Sep 1636 at St Andrews, Holborn, London, England. Michael and Elizabeth had at least these four children Christened; Mary Hodges born 1615, Symon Hodges born 1616, John and Pressella Hodges born 1620. I believe this is what everyone has been looking for. I thank God for Colonel Al Metts, for Rev. Nicholas Ware Hodges writing, and for all those people who are doing the extractions voluntarily, and those doing indexing. Feel free to visit my Family Tree and copy past to your hearts desire!
Best of luck.

Hello again.

Thanks everyone for the information.

I have the information up to the Edmund Hodges B- 1744. In order to apply for the Mayflower Society, I need to have proof of Edmud Hodges, (b-1744) son also named Edmund (b approx 1775).

Every where I look - ancestry, internet etc., it show that Edmund has a sone named Edmund, but I can find no supporting proof.

I belive that Enmund Sr. was boen in the US, came to Canada, had Edmund Jr. and went back to the US. But I am not 100% sure.

I will keep looking - if you come across anything - let me know.

Thanks Again

The Fleming Hodges who was married to Looney and Johnston, was the son of William Mason Hodges. As for the Sarah Kimzey, she was married to the Fleming Hodges who was the GRANDSON of William Mason Hodges. Fleming, who married Sarah Kimzey, was the son of Col. John Hodges and Sarah Merritt of Greenville County, SC.
William Mason Hodges was married first to Elizabeth Kirby and second to Elizabeth McGlathery Sims. The second marriage took place in Limestone Co., Alabama in 1830.
The children of William Mason Hodges are easily documented from his probate. Daniel Merritt Hodges died in Greenville County, SC in 1883. He was the son of John Hodges and Sarah Merritt.

Col. Fleming Hodges of Lawrence County, Alabama

MugHarrington — 2013-03-06 15:46:30Z

I am trying to sort out the family of Col Fleming Hodges (Senator) of Alabama. He first married Martha Patsy Johnson or Johnston. Second marriage to Martha Patsy Looney and a possible 3rd marriage to Sara Kimsey. Fleming was the brother of William Mason Hodges and John Hodges. I believe parents of these brothers were William Hodges and Elizabeth Kirby. Many ressearchers have mixed up the families of these 3 brothers and I am trying to sort it out once and for all. Fleming had a daughter Eliza whose second marriage was to her first cousin Daniel Merritt Hodges. Daniel is the son of Fleming's brother John. Need to definitively confirm Eliza's mother... Daniel and Eliza's daughter Louisa married William Preuitt McDaniel on 19 Jan 1858 in Lawrence County, AL. Louisa and William are my GGG grandparents. Also, confirmation of Fleming's birth and death dates. Thank you.

John Hodges father of GW Hodges

COL Albert Casswell Metts wrote a book on the Metts family, it contains a chapter on the Hodges family. The book is in the library of congress.
Richard Hodges brought his family to Abbeville Dist. SC after buying land from a scoundrel who proved false. The Buchanan family also bought land around the same area so there is a history. Richard and his wife Elizabeth Jones brought several children with them to SC.; Richard, James, John, Sarah, Charles, William, Samuel, Dorothy, and three other daughters. He established a farm and built a large cabin. Elizabeth had the boys drive her into Abbeville, those who were not farmed out to other farms. Indians attacked the farm. Richard fought them with his single musket but they burned the cabin. When the family emerged all were killed but Dorothy who was taken by the Chief as his wife. Ten or more years later she visited home with a son and was talked into staying with the family.
Richard, James and John were revolutionary soldiers years after the disaster of the Indian attack.
Elizabeth could not write but told the story to her grandson . Nicholas Ware Hodges the son of James wrote that she took the remain children and lived in a hollow tree until a new cabin could be built. I've seen an example of such a living space. A large tree is felled, the branches stripped and careful fires put against the stump burning out most of the wood. Furniture can be carved inside the log, even bed frames. A fire place is installed. It can be done in a couple of weeks where a full sized cabin could take a family three or four months to construct properly. George Washington Hodges was a General in the SC militia.
Richard Hodges and Elizabeth have thousands of descendants in the United States, we are in every state, and have fought in all the wars. My great grandfather Robert Walker Hodges fought for the North in the Civil War. He had a second cousin die at Gettysburg fighting for the south. I had a brother stationed in Vietnam for two tours, and one for one tour. Each tour was one year. I have just retired from the Army May 2012.

Your message is 9 yrs old so hope my response reaches you.
There were some name similarities in your message to my ancestor Henry W. HODGES b 1829 in NY, VT or MA, married Salina P. LINDSEY, children, Susan, Lillie Jane, Florilla, Frank and Florence, lived in Kasota, Le Sueur, MN. So I researched your family a bit hoping it would lead to mine.
Could not find a tree for Charles Hodges, Mary Ellen Armstrong, etc., but did find the following below.
You may have already found it, but sending it just in case.

My Hodges line originates in East London and spreads out mainly into West London and Middlesex, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Someone mentioned a Canfield (Shadwell, London), which I do have but no direct connection established to the Hodges line other than distantly via marriage.
Any enquiries welcome.

CORRECTION: Dora Lee was born in 1878, not 1978.

Re: franklin lafayette hodges

slvbh2 — 2013-02-16 08:42:50Z

Elsie Birdie Hodges' father was Lafayette Franklin (not Lafayette Monroe). But I did learn that her mother, Dora Lee McLaughlin was adopted by a dentist as a young girl. Dora was born in Arkansas in 1978. She also had a brother who my father-in-law remembers as "Uncle Griff".
There is where the info stops for me. I've never been able to find info on Dr. Jim McLaughlin or his wife's name (Dora and Griff's mother)

Hi
I am searching for information regarding my great great Grandmother Ealeanor Canfield born 1863 in Chiswick, Middlesex, England. She never married but had 3 children:
Emily Canfield b1880 Brentford, Middlesex, England
Elizabeth Canfield b1890 Brentford Middlesex, England
William Canfield b1891 Chiswick, Middlesex, England
My Father seems to remember talk of some connection to the Cox family in Chiswick in so far as the Father of her children is concerned, but this is not confirmed!!!
If anyone can help or shed any light on the mystery of the Canfields do please get in touch.

Re: Hodges - Wiggins - etal 1700-1800 NC, SC

timikaconnor47 — 2013-02-11 04:09:03Z

This is my first time doing research on my family, but my Great Grand-father last name was Wiggins. He died in Baltimore Md, but orginally came from Marlboro, NC. Have you found anymore information on the Wiggins? I think he was born in 1896 and married Ida Cobbage my Great Grand-mom. Can any help me?
