Ernest Hodges early 1900's N.Fla.
Am seeking information on the mother of Ernest Hodges,: Estelle Howell Hodges b. 1870's possibly Green Co. Ga. Estelle was the daughter of Mary W. "Polly" Howell b.1845, d.1912, and Jesse Howell, (oral history states he was a wheat farmer in Georgia) who were believed to have been first cousins.Estelle's sisters included, Cleo Howell Francis, who lived in Crestview, Fla., and Illa Howell, it is not known if she was married, there was possibly another sister, name unknown.Brothers included Jesse M. Howell, carriage maker, Joseph J. Howell ,b.1865, master blacksmith, Jeb Stewart Howell, horseshoer.Joseph and Jeb S. lived in Pensacola but were born in Georgia.I would like to know if anyone has additional information on "Polly" and Jesse Sr., origins of their family will be greatly appreciated. I have a family photo of Ernest Hodges taken in the 1920's, and am trying to connect this link to the Howell family.Regards, Jane
