My Alexander Hodges had a brother called "Buck" who had a son named Harmon. As was told to me by Alex's granddaughter, they lived just outside of Atlanta in a place that had Rock in the name(Bald Rock? Flat Rock?)
Their parents had a big farm there and may have owned slaves at one time. The parents died when thwe children were young (Alex was a need), the farm was sold off by family members and the children split up and put in different homes-some with family.
Alex and one brother were old enough to strike out on their own (possibly Buck as Alex talked a lot about him to his kids & grandkids).I do not have much info on them as my family lived in Alabama and did not have much connection with my grandparents. Alex had sons Lum, Newton, Archie Major Waldo (my granddad),daughters Annie & Lillie.
I do hope this sounds familiar to you as I would love to know more about my Hodges relations.
