Each of the wives of my Hodgson/Hodgin/Hodson ancestors in America introduces a unique culture and identity to the family.
In looking at their ancestry apart from their husbands, we gain perspective on these distinctive histories in Ohio, the North Carolina Piedmont, and Colonial Pennsylvania.
By presenting their lineages independently, we also allow ourselves a more direct presentation of the Hodgson/Hodgin/Hodson chronological line itself.
June’s postings open the maternal lines series, starting with Grandma Hodson’s roots.
