such persons alone, and their direct descendants, have a right to use them. In early days they were usually given

on account of some service to the government, but not infrequently for the purpose of raising money. We read in an English work how a man by the name of Hodge was importuned for 40 on account of a be.'^towal to him
of a coat-of-arms.
It is quite possible he uiu not consider the honor of the bestowal worth the money. Certain it is that a " coat-of-arms " conferred on some ancestor, cent-

The town of Clinton until 1840 was a part of the 1663. town of Killingworth, which originally was called the Hammanasset Plantation, " that lyeth between Guilford and Saybrook," and was settled in October, 1663, by inhabitants chiefly from Hartford, Windsor, and Guilford. The General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut of that year appointed a committee of three persons to establish "binding rules " for the settlement of the plantation. In Marcli, 1664, an act was passed incorporating the town. One of the first settlers was Edward Griswold. and out of respect to him the town was called Killingwurtli, which

Prior to this time the inhabitants on the east side of the Connecticut river, opposite Weathersfield, belonged to the Wcathcrsfield society, and one of the reasons given for the incorporation of the new town, and the establishing of another church, was the inaccessibility of the Weathers8,

The family was living in Middletown, Conn., May 6, 1740, and probably continued to reside there at least for some years perhaps both Mr. and Mrs. Hodge died there, the latter most probably. Hinman in his unpublished MSS. in the Boston Historical Rooms gives the baptism of some of the children and calls them and their parents " Hodge." His authority is the church records. The town records of Middletcnvn in giving the births say " Hedges." There is little doubt that the church records

Dec. 30, 1813, v/hen Buffalo was burned by the British, Mr. Hodge was keeping tavern in a large brick building, which he had just completed.

parents, except four years he was with an uncle, until he was nineteen years old. In 1819, with a number of otliers, he emigrated to Ohio, and located at Wellington, Lorain County. Soon after he bought land near that place, which subsequently became the town of Brighton. Here he erected a log house, the first house ever built in the town by a white man. In July, 1S21, his parents, three sisters. a brother, with his wife and young child, all came from Glastonbury, Conn. the East and moved into the new house. In March, 1826, he purchased land adjoining, and in a small log house which he had built he and his newlymarried wife set up housekeeping by themselves. Here

his wife taught the first school in the town.

of
there,

father: "All trains passing that way stopped and the passengers received the needed rest, refreshments, and assistance to proceed towards freedom." Mr. Loveland was one of the men arrested in 1S58, in the

Being assured that

his

his

cheeks he

exclaimed, "

a couple of months later he passed through Cleveland on

An old East Haven, Conn., record says: "Thomas Hodge, son of Charles Hodge, born July 12, 1692, at Lyme." He is believed to have had the following children, born in Lyme, but there is no record in that town of any children having been born to him. Thomas, John, and Richard certainly were his children, and Ann, y\bigail, and Abraham probably were.

Hodge and many of the other descendants of Abel Hodge, the Revolutionary soldier, perhaps all of them, have been adding an " s "at the end of their names, making it Hodges but how this addition to the name came, no one appears to know. The army records show that

the soldier ancestor of this family bore the

name

of plain

Abel Hodge, and tlie old town records of Connecticut give It may be added the names of his ancestors as Hodge. that the descendants of the brothers of this Abel Jlodge have held to the original name.

THE PHILO HODGE FAMILY.

It is impossible to determine whether or not Philo Hodge was a descendant of Cl'.arles Hodge, whose line is traced on preceding pages, or belongs among the descendants of John Hodge, the progenitor, who married Susanna Denslow in 1666. If a descendant of the latter, it is quite

probable that William

his father.

Hodge (No. 75) of that line was Gen. Justin Hodge, of Riverton, Conn., a son
eighty-hve j-ears of age,

of Philo,

now

of the opinion

his grandfather's
at a place called

name was Daniel, and that he was killed Compo, near Xorwalk, Conn., when the

British under General

Tr\on were returning to New York from Danbury, which they burned April 26, 1778. Mr. Hodge is supposed to have been killed on the 2Sth, two days later. In a letter the general says

NICHOLAS HODGE.
According
to the best information obtainable,
tliis

and family

tradition,

emigrated to

country

in

1653, from North-

umberland County, the most northerly county in England, and settled at Rye (then called Little Harbor), N.H. Rye is a small place on tlie Atlantic coast, southeast from Portsmouth. He married Seatjorn, daughter of Richard and Margaret (Raynell) Tucker. I\Ir. Tucker was one of the first settlers of Portland, Me., and is supposed to have come from Stogumber, a little coast town of Somersetshire, Eiig., where in St. Mary's Church is a record saying that a Richard Tucker was baptized Jan. 22, 1594.

Margaret Tucker, widow of Richard Tucker, living on Sagamore creek, Portsmouth, "then an old lady," Jan. 16, 1681, conveyed to Nicholas Hodge, "her grandson," cerThis Nicholas, no doubt, was tain land in Portsmouth.
the son of Nicholas Hodge, Sr.
In 1742 Michael

Hodge,

son of the second Nicholas, a mariner living at Salisbury, Mass., a coast town south of Portsmouth, deeded land to
Phineas Jones, husband of

Ann Hodge,

his daughter, of
is

Portsmouth, and

in

the conveyance mentions that he

the

" only representative of Richard Tucker."

Tradition says

of the elder Nicholas Hodge, that he lived to
his death
tlie

241

age of

was or was not one of these captains, but there is a fair presumption that he was. Perhaps this was the Charles Hodge who, according to a Probate Record, had sisters Betsey, Nancv, and Mary, and brother John who died at sea, and another brother who lived in Plymouth, Mass.

WILLL^M HODGE.

Born in the north of Ireland, probably of Scotch origin, and there died Jan. 4, 1723. Had wife Margaret. He had siK children, five sons and a daughter. Two of the sons, the daughter, and the mother died prior to 1730, when the remaining sons, William, Andrew, and Hugh, came to America and settled in Philadelphia, Penn. Among the descendants there have been a large number of doctors and clergymen. In the struggle for American independence the family took a prominent part. One, William Hodge, at the time a prominent Philadelphia merchant, signed the so-called " non-importation act;"anotherof thefamily, HughHodge, was a surgeon in the army during the war which followed. Rev. George W'oolscy, Charles, Hugh 15a)'ard, and Thomas L. J. Hodge, of Pennsylvania, arc now members of the Society of Sons of the American Revolution, by right as It is descendants of Dr. Hugh Hodge. (See No. 12.)

Born probably in 1593; came to tliis country from England; married, about 161 5, Elizabeth Demi.vg, born probably in 1595, and died January, 16S3. She was a sister of John Deniing, who married Honor Treat. (See Treat Family, No. 2.) In 1634 Mr. Foote was a freeman at Watertown, Mass., and in 1636 became one of the original settlers of Weathersfield, Conn. His name appears as one of the patentees of the Connecticut charter. He became a magistrate, and in 1641 was chosen a representative to the General Court, which position he continued to hold until his death, in 1644. Mr. Foote was a descendant of James Foote, to whom ^vas given a coat of arms by King James, which is described as follows " A shield

Gov. Thomas Welles, of Connecticut, and outli\-ed the governor some years. In a will made by her March 28,

THE WHITE FAMILY.

JOHN WHITE.

Born probably about 1600; came to this country, as is supposed, from Chelmsford, Essex County, England. He embarked at London on the ship " Lion," Captain Pierce, probably June 22,- 1632, and landed at Boston, Mass., Sunday, September 16, about three months later. He resided first at Cambridge, then called Newtown, where in Februar}', 1635, he was elected one of a board of seven men to

manage
menced

the affairs of the town.

In

1636 he moved to

Hartford, Conn., the settlement of which had been comthe year previous.

once owned by him. It is also said that the famous "Charter Oak" stood upon land he once owned. In
1659 he became a resident of Hadle}', Mass. Here he was chosen a representative in 1664 and again in 1669. Soon after he returned to Hartford, and in 1670 was made an elder in the " South Church." Of liis wife, whose name

was Mary, little is known except that she came with her husband from the old country, and was alive in 1666. Says Savage, from whose genealogical dictionary many facts regarding Mr. White have been taken, " He was a man of good repute, and died December, 1683, or the next
month."

FAAIILIES.

The English family becomes allied with the Hodge fami!\by the marriage in rS20 of Alfred Hodge and Sophia English. The English line is allied with the Xewcomb family by the marriage in 1715 of Richard English and Abigail Xewcomb. The Englishes are allied with the Caulkins by the marriage in 1777 of Abel English and Anna Caulkins, and the Caulkins are allied with the Deweys by
the

marriage

in

17^7

of

Ezekiel

Caulkins

and Anna

Dewey. Thus the Englishes, the iNevvcombs, the Caulkins, and the Deweys each furnish a line of ancestors for the
descendants of Alfred Hodge.

Hodge:
:

Sir This is my first opportunity to reply to your inquiry addressed to Bishop Taylor, who is now in California. In regard to King Hodge of Africa, he was educated in the Presbyterian Seminary at Cape Palmas, an institution discontinued some years ago. The

Dear

name of Hodge was given to him at that time, but from what source we do not know. After his graduation from tlie seminary he returned
to heathenism

and

for

some years

lived the

life

of his heathen neighthe instru-

bors

a few years ago he was converted to

God through

mentality of children of the mission that had been opened in his chief

town and became a very zealous and efficient lay preacher. The church building in which his ministrations were given was a nativebuilt structure erected at his own expense and that of his converted chiefs. After living a most consistent Christian life for several years, he died about two years ago. His case and many other interesting cases will be fully presented in the Bishop's new book, entitled "The
Afric3 ^i To-day."

Yours

truly,

Ross Taylor.
