I note that there were other Hodgens listed in various census indexes of Washington County, PA, but have no clues to tie them together properly. Rachel G. (Hodgens) Nash died 21 March 1872 in Illinois, and was buried at Monmouth cemetery, Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. I have no further information at this time, but would be willing to follow up leads on this family.
