Query: In the library at Sylvania GA I found an abstract of Screven Co GA Deed Book T p 391: which has Phillip R. HODGES of "Salime" (prob. Sabine) Parish LA, formerly of Screven Co GA, appointing [his first cousin] Hardy HODGES as his attorney to receive his share of the estate of his mother [Jane BLACK HODGES b c 1780-1785 GA m c 1805 divorced 1826-1829 d c 1862 Screven Co GA] on 18 Nov 1862.

He is also mentioned in the 1850 will of his father (Samuel HODGES b 1780-1782 East FL m2 1840 Effingham Co GA d 1861 Effingham Co GA -- who left one dollar each to the five childen by his m1), but no location is indicated for him.

From: JohnRobert Peavy [email protected] November 09, 2002: "Samuel HODGES [b 1780-1782, settled in Screven Co GA then Effingham Co GA after his divorce in 1839].
Samuel HODGES' will of 1850 (probated 1861) names his five children by his m1 (Jane BLACK NEALIN HODGES CHARLTON), including the youngest, Ambrose HODGES (b c 1820 -- my wife is descended from Ambrose's sister Sarah Jane HODGES SHEPPARD b c 1810).

"That Samuel HODGES's eldest son (Phillip HODGES b c 1805) was in LA by 1827 to be married to a local (Amite MS/St. Helena LA) girl by a J.P. (Robert HODGES) who appears to be part of the family of John HODGES & Ann STANDARD could be a coincidence -- or it could hint at some relationship. And that latter clan, having Elias as a family name, may be related to FAMILY THREE."

"Incidentally, Isaac HODGES' uncle, Samuel HODGES, m2 Margaret Ann GRAHAM, another daughter of John GRAHAM & Selita CRAWFORD; Margaret already had a natural daughter (b c 1833, the father was James TUTTLE) prior to her m in 1840."

Notes

There are so much conflicting info on the early Lewis line that I have no idea what is right!

Spouse unknown. "Emigrated to America with his son John Lewis. His tombstone in Lewis cemetery where John is buried in 1657 still exists."

"Inscription on tombstone top 1/3 missing, a third of shield of coats of arms, Here lieth interred the body of John Lewis (born in Munmoth shire died the 21th of August 1657 aged 63 years the anagram of his name I Shew No ill, the ramiander of the anagram is missing. A third of lower part of tombstone gone."

"John1 Lewis; b. circa 1594 in Llantilio Pertholey Parish, Monmouthshire, Wales; m. Johane Lewis, daughter of William Lewis The Elder of Ysgyrd Parish and Elizabeth Proger of Wern ddu, Feb 3, 1610 in St. Teilo's, Monmouthshire, Wales; d. Aug 21, 1657 in VA.
He was also known as Prichard."
Children of John1 Lewis and Johane Lewis were as follows:
i. Watkins2 Lewis.
ii. Gwenillian Lewis.
iii. Lettus Lewis.
iv. Major John Lewis, b. 1635; m. Isabella Miller.

"The Lewises of Eastern Virginia are of Welsh origin. Their ancestor, General Robert Lewis, of Beacon, Wales, came to Gloucester in 1650 with a grant from the King of 33,333 1/3 acres of land. Robert Lewis had sons, John and Charles. John Lewis and his wife, Lydia, had a son John, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Col. Augustine Warner of Gloucester Co., and built Warner Hall. They had a son, John Lewis, who, with his wife Frances, were parents of Col. Fielding Lewis, who married twice: first, Catherine Washington (aunt of Gen'l George Washington). They were married in 1746. Issue:"

(1984), 2002, paper, 68 pp. In this booklet of vital importance to descendants of the Lewis Family, Mrs. Moses shows that the family's Welsh immigrant ancestor was JOHN LEWIS, who settled at Totopotomoys Creek in Gloucester County, Virginia on July l, 1653, and not ROBERT LEWIS, as argued by Merrow Edgerton Sorley in his widely respected Lewis of Warner Hall. #6804CC - $12.50
