HODGES, William F.; W, m, 54; farmer, Ind, NC, Ky.
…………., Narcissus; W, f, 52; wife; Ind, Ky, Ky.
…………., WILLARD M.; 19, son, Ind.
William Franklin Hodges married Narcissa McNeely on 17 Sept, 1847, in Warrick Co., Ind. (per Ind.St.Library online database.)

1870 Warrick Co., Ind Census, Owen Twp; 12 Sept; P.O: Folsomville, Ind.; pg.604B, visit 191:
William F. HODGES, 44, m, W, farmer; $800,$600, Ind.
Narcissa R. ……….., 42, f, W, Ind.
WILLARD Monroe…, 8, m, Ind.
Amos J……………….., 5, m, Ind.
Mary………………….., 67, f, W, $0, $150, Ky. (nee: STATON).
Mary Staton married Gentry Hodges on 23 July 1822 in Warrick Co., Ind (per Ind.St.Library online database.) They are the parents William F. Hodges.
Mary “Polly” Staton, dau of Jehu Staton (b.1755) and his 2nd wife Margaret MURRAY. Jehu married Margaret on 1 Dec 1801 in Barren Co., Ky. Mehala/Mahala must have died before then.)
Re: Maria E. __?__, wife of Willard M. Hodges.
Maria E., b. Mar 1863, would have been 7 yrs old on the 1870 census. The only “Maria E., 7” on the 1870 Warrick Co., Ind., Owen Twp census is a Gentry, which should surprise no one who has been researching these families. Not “iron-clad”, but I think the probability of this being Willard’s future wife is extremely high.
So, on that census, pg.599B, visit 113:
Hardin GENTRY, 39, m, W, farmer, $2000, $875, Ind.
Martha C. ……., 38, f, W, Ind.
Mary P. ……….., 17, f, Ind.
Malissa A. ……., 15, f, Ind.
John T. …………, 13, m, Ind.
Lucinda J. …….., 11, f, Ind.
Margaret S. ….., 9, f, Ind.
MARIA E. ………., 7, f, Ind.*******
George T. ………, 2, m, Ind.
(the 1860 census lists a dau Melvina, b.abt.1851 Ind, who is probably marr’d by the time of the 1870 census.)
(Hardin Gentry married Martha “Patsy” Casandra Ford per Gentry researchers and I think that is correct. I just don’t have a document to prove it so you’ll have to check that out further.)
Hardin Gentry, b. 20 Mar 1830 Warrick Co., Ind; d. 28 July 1914, Warrick Co., Ind. Hardin is claimed to be (I think that is correct) the son of Matthew GENTRY Jr., b.10 Jun 1800 Surry Co., NC; d. 22 aug 1887 Warrick Co., Ind; and his wife Nancy STATON, b. 14 Oct 1799 Barren Co., KY; d. 26 Apr 1876 Warrick Co., Ind.
Nancy Staton is the dau of Jehu Staton (b.1755) and his 1st wife Mahala, which makes Willard and Maria second (?) half-cousins.
(I say Hardin is “claimed to be” Matthew Jr’s son, because Hardin and Patsy were already marr’d by the time of the 1850 census so I can’t prove it with census records.)
continued on next post………
Thank You Bill! 😀 It looks like what you have here is probably correct (just from what I’ve been looking at). I am slightly confused though – are you saying that Our Mary “Polly” Hodges that married William Reed – was in fact Mary “Polly” (Staton) Hodges? Did she marry Gentry Hodges 1st and Wm. Reed 2nd? Now I really need that Marriage license…. :confused:
I have been looking for your info., on Tessie Leslie – but I haven’t really come up with anything – yet.
I am looking forward to your next post.
Cont’d from last post:

Genealogy.com World Family Tree, Vol. 20, Tree 66 lists William Franklin Hodges as the son of Gentry Hodges and Mary “Polly” Staton. Their other children listed by that researcher:
Nancy, b.1829.
John Shelton, b.1833, m’d Harriet Camp.
James Barnett, b.1834, m’d Polly Ann Chambers.
Amos, b.1835.
Louisa Jane, b. 27 Nov 1836, m’d John C. Barnett.
Jehu, b.1838, m’d 1) Elizabeth Broshears. m’d 2) Nancy Hart.
Emaline, b.1842, m’d Squire Wm Chapman.
………………………………………………………………………………
Gentry Hodges and Mary Staton seem to have had another son:
Shelton Gentry Hodges (who I hope is not their son John Shelton Hodges), but Shelton Gentry Hodges
m’d 1) on 10 Jan 1856, Elizabeth Ann McNeely, and
m’d 2) on 13 Feb 1858, Catherine Leslie, the widow of Matthew Stephens.
………………………………………………………………………………
Altho I’m still “proofing” this, William Hodges, b.abt. 1746 Va and wife Agnes Gentry, b.abt.1763-66, Va., (dau of Joseph G. Gentry and Agnes Shelton, had at least the following children:
1) Amos Hodges, b. 21 Jan 1790 Tenn (?); m’d 6 Nov 1811 Warren (Barren?) Co., Ky, Catherine STATON, b. 20 Sept 1790 NC (dau of Jehu Staton and 1st wife Mahala)
(I don’t think Amos and Catherine had a dau Polly Hodges but I’m still trying to find her by a process of elimination.)
2) Mary Hodges, b.1790s, m’d 18 Mar 1816 (not 1810) in Ohio Co., Ky, William GENTRY.
3) GENTRY HODGES, b. 15 May 1803 or 1805, Ky., m’d Mary “Polly” STATON (see above) (dau of Jehu Staton and 2nd wife Margaret Murray).
……………………………………………………………………………..
In 1800, William Hodges lived in the Yadkin Valley in Surry Co., NC, per the 1800 Surry Co NC Census.

No. Those are two different people:
Mary “Polly” Staton was Jehu Staton and Margaret Murray’s daughter, and m’d Gentry Hodges, both Gentry and Mary were still living in 1850.
The Mary “Polly” Hodges (who m’d William Reed), died in 1848.
Bill
Bill,
I just searched on who was married 14-Aug-1884 in Warrick County and came up with this list. They were all on in book H-24, page 41:
George F BAKER
Salina CASTLE
Mariah E GENTRY
Willard M HODGES
Mary C McENTIRE
Geo W WILLIS
Since you already proved by the census record that Willard was married to a Maria/Mariah, it says that Mariah E. GENTRY was 22 years old and her parents are Harden GENTRY and Patsey C. FORD.
Stacey
A BIG Thanks to both of you. 😀
This is moving along rather nicely. Since I had myself confused I went back to my “Family Tree Maker” program this morning and started correcting info. It is all starting to make sense!:) The next thing I’ll do is try to get some copies of actual marriage records, etc. to shore up what we’ve now got.
Bill,
😀 You AWSOME THANG!:D Yep, your eyes are most assuredly crossed by now! Your info. matches up to what I have, I’m pretty sure, like 98 %. Kerry e-mailed me the charts his Family Tree maker put together. I think I’ll stare at those for a while. Now I think I can almost go backward (BACKWARD!) now from Mathew Gentry and finish that up.:cool: Stacey, what would we do without you! What was that thing you were talking about, the Relationship Calculator? Kerry should have that on his Family Tree Maker thingy, right?:) Or do I have that all wrong? I just thought that sounded like such a nifty gizmo!
THANK YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH! BILL, I KNOW YOU’VE PUT A LOT OF TIME IN ON THIS. I TRULY AND DEEPLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU’VE DONE. NOW, When do we get to see where our families connect? I’m dying to find out!:D Love & Light, Lynella.
Bill,
I had a few days of not enough time syndrome! It’s a lot like “old timers” but a bit more chaotic!:) I just wanted to check and make sure we’re on the right track.
Our Mary “Polly” Hodges is the one that married William Reed, RIGHT?;) Thank you so very much. Love & Light, Lynella.
Lynella and Kerry,
I just called the Warrick Co Ind County Clerk’s Office and some sweet lady volunteered to go look up William Reed and Polly Hodges marriage application and certificate while I was waiting on the phone. May such wonders never cease!
The only additional information on these documents that we didn’t already know is that they were married by the “Rev. Henry Harke”.
No ages, no parents’ names. Well, DANG !!
Maybe we’re lucky that the Rev. Harke even sent the paperwork back to the Clerk’s office.
Okay, since the only HODGES in Warrick Co are children of the same parents, the line would still be workable and I’ll put that together and post it.
Bill
Thanks Bill:D We really appreciate all you do for us. Sorry Lynella and I haven’t been around the forum much this week. Things have been hectic for both of us and I think Lynella was having problems with her computer for awhile. Although I’m thinking now she’s got them ironed out.:)
Dearest Bill,
😀 Dang, YOU’RE AWSOME! Thank you oh so many bunches!;) You really are a God send. And a peach! And a sweet potatoe! Ah, heck let’s just go for the whole darn meal! And we won’t count calories either! O.K. so, you big hunk of punkin’ pie, you. You just keep renewing my enthusiasm and keeping me going. What would I do without my Bill? I’m not surprised that there was no big bang with the records on that. I mean nothing worth knowing is ever easy all the time, is it? 🙂 So, we get what we got and go with the rest and we’ll still come out ahead, just lacking a few good back up references, right? THANK YOU. Love & Light, Lynella.
Kerry,
HA! Ironed out, my left foot! Love Ya’. Me.
