hi beth-
i don't have the answer but have a clue.
i have a will from a james hood, dated 26 april 1828 gallatin, IL. in it he mentions polly nodle, hannah rita nodle, lewis nodell, agga copeland, with henrietta (same as hannah rita?) and agga mentioned again as minors whose inheritance will be in the care of lewis nodel and wife til they come of age.
also mentioned, james hood's daughter susan hedge (my 4th ggmother) and her daughters martha ann, permelia, elisabeth, and hood's daughter ann hamil. ann hamil's portion to revert to pleasant copeland.
hood's daughter polly hudson is mentioned. executor is daniel mckinny. it is witnessed by lewis nodle, jecamiah leaman, huston mulky, judge probate leo'd white.
i'd like to figure out this family. are you a descendant?
