I have been working on the Hodges- Mahaffey genealogy for about 5 years, never could find Rebecca McLain Hodges in TX.Just happened to run across the Smith's on the census and there was Rebecca!!. I would love to have more information on the Hodges-Smith family and I have plenty of information of Lisa Louisa's family.
