Help! I am seeking information about John Edgar Hodges. He was married twice, the second wife was Harriet Anne Eades. I have no birth or death dates, but he was probably born in mid 1800's. He had several children, I only know of one son, John Hardin Hodges, born May 7, 1892 in Stokes Co., NC, and died November 16, 1966 in Danville, VA. He lived most of his adult life in Martinsville, VA. He was married to Lucy Jane Via. If anyone can offer any information, I would be very grateful!!!
Thanks,
