"Anne HODGE" who witnessed James Miller's 1656 York Co., VA will above was the Anne (Unknown) Hodges of this WikiTree profile.

A few other documents from York County, VA that tie Augustine Hodges (and other persons noted in James Miller's 1656 will above) to each other:

1658: "p. 44 A. Upon the Pet. of Elizabeth Hulett, Widdow of Laurence Hulett dec’d., It is ordered that Capt. Henry Gooch or Mr. Augustine Hodges Exors. give an a/c. of Elizabeth’s corn & report to the next Court."

NOTE: Jame Miller and his wife Mary did name a son Augustine Miller (maybe his given name was sourced to Augustine Hodges; husband of Anne (Unknown) Hodges who witnessed James Miller's 1656 York Co. VA will).

Sources

• Augustine Hodges wife is clearly Ann (unknown) Hodges-374 (a witness to James Miller's 1656 will in York Co., VA. In 1658 Augustin Hodges was appointed one of the executors of the estate of Lawrence Hulett. Lawrence Hulett was another witness of James Miller’s 1656 will. I adopted Ann’s WikiTree profile this morning (Hodges-374; not her surname at birth). Her earlier husband, Augustine Hodges died circa 1660, and she then married Joseph Croshaw.
