Jerimiah has real with $0 value and a personal estate valued at $75. His occupation is listed as "Farmer Renter".

The 1850 Federal Census for the Southern District, Patrick Co., VA, page 395A records Jeremiah Hodges (21 - VA) living as a laborer with the James (51 - NC) and Susannah (52 - VA) Joyce family. Also in the household are the children of James and Susannah: Naomi (18 - VA), Nancy (16 - VA), John W. (15 - VA), and Susan (12 - VA). James has real estate valued at $2,000. James is the brother of Perrin Joyce who is the father of Jeremiah's second wife, Caroline Joyce. James' wife, Susannah Corn Joyce is most likely related to Jeremiah's first wife, Sarah Ann Corn.
