Biography

Included in Descendants of Thomas Hodges and Susannah Bomar study.

The birthdate of Frederick "Ted" Hodges is uncertain, but was probably around 1785. He was named in the will of his father, Thomas Hodges (abt.1750-1808) - as was his mother, Susannah (Bomar) Hodges (abt.1752-aft.1808)

Frederick married Mary A "Polly" Hawkins on 6 Jun 1815 in Halifax Co, VA.^[1]

A reported list of their children includes the following, but some need further verification:

• Jane (Hodges) Durham (1816-1884) - confident
• Thomas A Hodges (1817-1893) - probably, but not certain
• Elijah Hodges - but which one?
• John Alfred Hodges (1825-1904)
• Samuel Hodges (1826-?; FS 97PJ-F6G) m Narcissa Hawkins; 1850 Census Hart. Born Halifax VA.
• James A Hodges (1830-?) - note multiple James
• Williamson Wilde "Wildy" Hodges (1832-1883)

Possible but unlikely children:

• Susan (Hodges) Drury (1818-1905; FS K862-W4P) is unlikely to be their daughter. All Census records state that she was born about 1818 in KY; Frederick and Mary remained in VA until 1837. However, she does have KS and Macoupin Co IL connections.
