  • Notes 
    • The following is an excerpt from a letter written by Leta (Wilds) VIRGIL to her daughter Greta (Virgil) HOLMES in 1969. It talks about her grandfathers:

      "Between 1894 and 1896, or when I was 3 to 5 years old, I can remember my great grandfather Hodge, he was a very old man with a long white beard and long white hair.

      At that time he was living with his daughter, Phebe Hodge Marshall, sister to my grandmother, Almeda Hodge (Stevens) Austin.

      He was 90 years or older at that time, I remember he did not live very long after that visit, that my mother and I made to see him, he was sick at that time. No doubt I had seen him many times before, but was to young to remember. His first wife died many years before, after his last wife died, he was old and went to live with his daughter, Phebe.

      I can remember the little farm where he lived most of his life, must of been there, but can't remember that. All around his house were willow trees and cattails growing, he was cabinet maker by trade, and used them to weave and make seats for the chairs he made, there are a few in existence today and he has been dead over 72 years of this date 1969.

      There was a small cemetery on the small farm, they had a large family, and several young children had died and were buried there, including a pair of twin girls."

      The 1855 NY census; David Hodge moved to Madison County in 1835.

      The 1880 census shows Grant Hodge, son of David Hodge. I believe this is Grant Ennis, son of Anna Hodge Ennis, daughter of David Hodge. See the 1875 NY census and the 1880 US census.
