Simeon Hodges, when young, went with his father to Savoy and lived there until 1820. At some date previous to 1817, he went to Newbury, Geauga Co., Ohio, and purchased 170 acres of unimproved land, returning then to his home. In the Spring of 1817, his eldest son, Samuel, and two other young men, with packs upon their backs, traveled on foot from Savoy to Newbury, and there Samuel began to make for himself a home on his father's land. On May 17, 1820, Simeon started from Savoy for Ohio with his wife and family. He took along a 4-ox team, a 2-horse team, a 1-horse wagon and horse, and two cows. His ox-team was driven by the young man who afterwards became his son-in-law. After a journey of 42 days, on June 27, 1820, the family arrived at Newbury and staid about two months with Samuel. During this stay, Simeon bought from Ralph Bacon a farm in Mentor, Geauga Co. (now Lake Co.), and in September moved thither with his family, and there spent the rest of his days. During the last nine or ten years of his life he lived with his son-in-law, Benjamin Carpenter, to whom he had sold his farm. [James H. Hodges.']"^[2]
