http://www.synth.co.uk/gene.html From, "Genealogy from Andrew Hodges. There seem to have been lots of rural Hodgeses who emigrated to colonial America, as you can see from this list. But I am descended from one of the stick-in-the-muds who got no further than shopkeeping in London and retiring to Brixton. And that's just how I am. My mate Pete says that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and perhaps he has a point. y y y y John Hodges (1826-1890), was recorded (see this page) as christened in Blandford Forum, 17 May 1826. His mother y y y y x was Harriet Wood (1784?-1867), who had married y y y y y William Hodges (1790?-1839) at Blandford in 1814. But Harriet was not a Wessex girl. She gave her place of birth to the census-taker as 'London', and in 1851 and 1861 she was recorded as living with her daughter Louisa Wood, born in about 1812 at Fritham, Hampshire. She was classed as 'spinster', not 'widow' at marriage, so presumably she was an unmarried mother before she married toy-boy William. (She was quite an old mum for John, over 40 when he was born, and over 44 when yet another son was born.) There must be some hidden story here. From incomplete records, it is possible that William's father was John Angel Hodges, born about 1767, and his father another John Hodges, going back into the Blandford of the eighteenth century. A lot of old cobblers, I think... and beyond that I have no guesses about my y-chromosome line. William died at 48 in 1839, ending a possibly less than brilliant career as shoemaker, farmer and town beadle. But Harriet became a schoolmistress in Blandford. Being a more travelled and wised-up lady, perhaps it was she who spurred her young John to escape Wessex with Jane and make the great adventure in the London she herself had come from. They lived with their growing brood over the shop in Westminster until retiring in Brixton, a move to South London that set the tone for all the Hodges descendants.

William M. Jenkins, a member of the firm of Keesee & Jenkins, of Protem, Mo., was born in Marion County, Ark., in 1862. His parents, Elder W. C. and Mary C. (Gray) Jenkins, having been born in Tennessee,. Their family consisted of the following children: Joshua Star; deceased; Mary E., wife of Thomas H. Flippin; George W., of Marion County. Ark.; Ellen, deceased; William M.; James Perry, deceased: John Henry and Jared, of Marion County, Maggie, wife of Payton Chaffin, of Marion County, and Julia, deceased. The birth of Rev. W. C. Jenkins occurred May 16, 1828, near Dodd City, in Washington County, Tn., parents having been Gcorge Washisgton and Mary (Hodges) Jenkins, also natives of Washington County, Tn. where they spent all their lives. George W. Jenkins was a teacher and farmer, and a son of Aaron Jenkins, a Virginian by birth, but one of the pioneer settlers of Washington County, Tn., where he, in due course of time, passed from life. The latter’s father, George Jenkins, is supposed to have come from England. He first resided for some time near Baltimore. Md., then removed to Virginia, and finally to Tennessee, where he died. The maternal grandfather of William M. Jenkins, Howell Hodges, is supposed to have been born in Washington County, Tenn., and was a soldier with Gen. Jackson at the battle of Horseshoe Bend. Rev. W. C. Jenkins was the eldest of nine children born to his parents, and is one of the three surviving members of the family. His early life was spent in the labors of the farm, and he was fortunate enough to secure a good common-school education. January 25. 1849, he was married to Mary, daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Davidson), Gray, both of whom were born, reared, and died in Tennessee. In 1855 Rev J Jenkins removed to St. Francis County. Ark., thence to Kentucky two years later, and in 1860 to Marion County, Ark., where he has since made his home, carrying on farming on a small scale. For the past twenty-five years he has been a regularly ordained minister of the Christian Church, and during this time his influence has been for good, and he has been a faithful laborer in the vineyard of his Master. He served Marion County in the capacity of deputy sheriff for some time after the war and for a period of six months, was sheriff by appointment. During the last year of the war, he served as an orderly sergeant of Company F, in Jo Shelby's command. He is a member of Yellville Lodge No. 117 of the A. F. & A. M. The early life of William M. Jenkins was not characterized by any particular event, for he was reared to the monotonous, if useful, duties of farming and received but few educational advantages. In 1883 he was married to Susan Treat, a sister of Mrs. Keesee. She was born in Dade County, Mo., and by Mr. Jenkins is the mother of three children: Mary Elsie, Albert and Ethel (deceased). Mr. Jenkins followed farming in Marion County until 1892 since which time he has been in his present business and is doing well. He has always been a Democrat in politics, and for four years was deputy sheriff of Marion County under C. C. Poynter, from 1888 to 1892. He and his wife are worthy menibers of the Christian Church....
