The actual story told to me by my mother's oldest sister Lena Frances Hodge Brooks Find A Grave Memorial# 84257504
I have been doin this a LONG time I only wish Lena had a made it a little bit longer so I could have told her.
My name is Constance Marquita Latta, Hampton, VA. I have been on the quest of documenting my families for many years and for those of us that are die hard genealogy buffs, it is certainly a challenge. When you find a missing link there is no greater HURRAH. The western part of Virginia is my mother's line of HODGE/SARTIN/BURTON.On my resent quest I hit a main artery which brought me to Sparta, NC. This was odd to me because I was married in Sparta, NC in 1964. I could never figure out why we went there. No one could explain. When most records were in Bibles and not knowing where the Bible is, no one sharing information on family, you most likely hit the brick wall as I did. Then you have the stopper of the elderly not being here to ask. I have now found the missing connection of my Great Grandfather, Robert H. Hodge. His father was Major Anderson Hodge and his mother was Elizabeth Jane Jackson. Major Anderson Hodge is buried there in Shiloh United Methodist Church Cemetery.At one time he was in Carroll, Smyth & Grayson Counties, Virgina. Major Anderson Hodge was married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth J. "Betsey Masey ( Sexton on the marriage license). Both are supposedly buried in Shiloh which I actually see only his monument listed in Find A Grave. Records show my Great-grandfather's parents as being Major Anderson Hodge & Elizabeth Jane Jackson. It also shows THREE children listed as their children last name as Jackson, Mary Jackson b: 1859; George Jackson b: 1863; William M. Jackson b: 1865 A BABY HODGE b: 10/01/1868(Source: Carroll County, Virginia, Virginia Birth Records). The child listed as Baby Hodge is my great grandfather. The day and month do not match, BUT, the year is correct and is proven through his marriage to his second wife Dora Ridpath. Major Anderson Hodge b: 1808 married 11 Feb 1869 in Carroll, County, Virginia to Elizabeth Jane Jackson b: 1843. I perceive these three Jackson children were his step-children. In my conversations with my mother's oldest sister (I might add at 92) she stated that there was a Granny Anderson and there were half brothers to granddaddy, one called George and one called Bill and his last name might be Harmon. Although it was a little confusing I kept it in my mind for future reference. For her being that age she did FANTASTIC. The people were a little turned around, BUT, she was as close to perfect that I had ever heard. William M. Jackson changed his name to "Bill Harmon". GOD REST HER SOUL. She would be so pleased that I found the missing link. You see my Aunt was born in 1917. I doubt she was even a twinkle at that time. Feel free to do the math. How blessed was I to be there for her to share her information. She helped to find the missing link.....May 9, 2011

When most records were in Bibles and not knowing where the Bible is, no one sharing information on family, you most likely hit the brick wall as I did. Then you have the stopper of the elderly not being here to ask. I have now found the missing connection of my Great Grandfather, Robert H. Hodge. His father was Major Anderson Hodge and his mother was Elizabeth Jane Jackson. Major Anderson Hodge is buried there in Shiloh United Methodist Church Cemetery.At one time he was in Carroll, Smyth & Grayson Counties, Virgina. Major Anderson Hodge was married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth J. "Betsey Masey ( Sexton on the marriage license). Both are supposedly buried in Shiloh which I actually see only his monument listed in Find A Grave. Records show my Great-grandfather's parents as being Major Anderson Hodge & Elizabeth Jane Jackson. It also shows THREE children listed as their children last name as Jackson, Mary Jackson b: 1859; George Jackson b: 1863; William M. Jackson b: 1865 A BABY HODGE b: 10/01/1868(Source: Carroll County, Virginia, Virginia Birth Records). The child listed as Baby Hodge is my great grandfather. The day and month do not match, BUT, the year is correct and is proven through his marriage to his second wife Dora Ridpath. Major Anderson Hodge b: 1808 married 11 Feb 1869 in Carroll, County, Virginia to Elizabeth Jane Jackson b: 1843. I perceive these three Jackson children were his step-children. In my conversations with my mother's oldest sister (I might add at 92) she stated that there was a Granny Anderson and there were half brothers to granddaddy, one called George and one called Bill and his last name might be Harmon. Although it was a little confusing I kept it in my mind for future reference. For her being that age she did FANTASTIC. The people were a little turned around, BUT, she was as close to perfect that I had ever heard. William M. Jackson changed his name to "Bill Harmon". GOD REST HER SOUL. She would be so pleased that I found the missing link. You see my Aunt was born in 1917. I doubt she was even a twinkle at that time. Feel free to do the math. How blessed was I to be there for her to share her information. She helped to find the missing link.....May 9, 2011

The actual story told to me by my mother's oldest sister Lena Frances Hodge Brooks Find A Grave Memorial# 84257504
I have been doin this a LONG time I only wish Lena had a made it a little bit longer so I could have told her.
My name is Constance Marquita Latta, Hampton, VA. I have been on the quest of documenting my families for many years and for those of us that are die hard genealogy buffs, it is certainly a challenge. When you find a missing link there is no greater HURRAH. The western part of Virginia is my mother's line of HODGE/SARTIN/BURTON.On my resent quest I hit a main artery which brought me to Sparta, NC. This was odd to me because I was married in Sparta, NC in 1964. I could never figure out why we went there. No one could explain. When most records were in Bibles and not knowing where the Bible is, no one sharing information on family, you most likely hit the brick wall as I did. Then you have the stopper of the elderly not being here to ask. I have now found the missing connection of my Great Grandfather, Robert H. Hodge. His father was Major Anderson Hodge and his mother was Elizabeth Jane Jackson. Major Anderson Hodge is buried there in Shiloh United Methodist Church Cemetery.At one time he was in Carroll, Smyth & Grayson Counties, Virgina. Major Anderson Hodge was married twice.
