Levi Holmes Kennedy was only 10 when his father, Raiford, died. In 1896 Levi married Miranda Etta Deloach dau of William H. & Colonial Etta Wilkinson Deloach. Levi and Miranda had twins that did not survive & are buried at Brewton Cemetery in Hagan, GA. Eva was born in 1898. A daughter born in 1899 died. Wallace was born in 1903, Ida Bell in 1905 and Eva died in 1906. Levi & Hannah helped raise William Gladston after his mother, Lenora, died in 1906 and then his father in 1913. Wallace son of Levi & Miranda was a dwarf and died in 1924 at age 21. So Ida Bell was the only child of Levi Holmes & Miranda Etta to marry and have children. Ida Bell married George Brinson Hodges, Sr. They had 2 sons; George Brinson Hodges, Jr (my father) born January 7, 1923 and Holmes Wallace Hodges born May 2, 1926. Brinson and Ida Bell divorced, she married Carl C. Collins, son Carl Lee Collins, born May 17, 1936, their only child.
