Layne,
If you will check the census for 1850, you will see that Alex and Margaret were living in Itawamba Co. as newlyweds.Adjacent to them apparently is his father William Hodges having been born in Tenn. also with the rest of his family.
Something of interest I just came across is that in Franklin Co., Al.(which is adjacent to Itawamba Co.) I see an Edward Tiffin and his family listed also in the 1850 census. Edward Tiffin and his wife both being born in Ohio.I think that this is probably Margaret's family.
I don't find a marriage record for Alex and Margaret in Itawamba Co. indicating that they probably got married in Franklin Co., Al.I plan to check this out if possible, but think some of this county's records were destroyed by a fire.
