Says: two of the sons of Joshua Hodges, Sr.
They are Joshua Hodges, Jr. and Joseph Hodges, who owned the
old Bible. In all these 200 years, my branches of the family
has never lived more than 15-20 miles away from where old
Joshua Hodges, Sr. settled. The tradition of the money in
England has not been passed down in either branch of my
family. I later asked other Hodges· in Bulloch County about
this. Some branches had heard of the "money in England" but
most had not.
Mrs. Boring's letters had been in my files for over 20
years, undisturbed, until last year when I "unearthed them"
I immediately tried to call her and was pleased when she
answered the phone. She has kindly xeroxed all of her copies
that are shown below. I told a friend about my good fortune
of locating these letters again and they told me that there
was another in the Hodges-Keller Letters File at the
Statesboro Regional Library. That letter predated Mrs.
Boring's letters.
It seems that there was no one in our branch of Hodges
Family--the Joshua Hodges, Sr. descendants--who ever received
a penny of this legacy.
dier of North Carolina and Bulloch County will easily
number in the thousands today and are scattered all over the
world. As yet there has been no proof as to his parentage.
His grandson, Judge Raiford Hodges, said in his letter
(Letter# 2), shown below that Joshua was the son of Joseph
E. Hodges of England. I believe that this is wrong. A. W.
Mizell states in Letter# 5 our Joshua's father is Anthony.
It is my hope that someone will help us find the father
of Joshua Hodges, Sr. I also would like to know if anyone
was successful in establishing a legitimate claim to the
legacy.
Can someone please help us solve this 200 year old
Hodges Family Mystery???
