JOHN
HODGE/HEDGES
The Hedge family that is being researched here is
believed to be from a John Hedge
who along with John
Baker made their way from Georgia to Middle Tennessee
and the
Dickson County Tennessee area. On these web
pages Isaac and William Hedge who are
found together in
Dickson County Tennessee in 1830 are being portrayed as
brothers.
Although at this time, there is no proof to
the fact that they are indeed brothers,
it does appear
that they are definitely related. Perhaps someday the
proof will come
along and if and when it does, if there
are any changes to be made, it will be done.
Isaac Hedge
according to the 1850 Census was born abt 1790 GA, William
claimed that
in he was born 1791 in MS. The John
Hedge/Hodge who is being looked at as their father
and who
later, appears to have been traveling with John A Baker
who later became
William's father-in-law is being
researched. Not a lot of information on this John has
been
found at this time, but the one that is being looked at is
as follows:
On the
Reconstructed 1790 Elbert County Georgia (Land Warrants
1785-1795) page 83
a John Hodge was listed.
Page 87 it
shows under Officers Elbert County Militia June 21 1791 a
John Hodge.
Note also that William Hedge's future
father-in-law John A Baker was also of Elbert
County
Georgia:
John A. Baker lived in Elbert Co.
GA from 1790 until 1795 when he sold his land and
moved to
Franklin Co. GA. There he was an Ensign in the militia
commanded by Col.
Larkin Cleveland, and with Col. Niel
Cleveland represented Franklin County at the
Constitutional Assembly where Georgia ratified the
constitution. Franklin
County
Georgia, tax Lists shows John Baker from 1800-1808
while acquiring land in Dickson
County Tennessee in 1805.
John Hodge is listed on these tax lists in Franklin County
Georgia up too 1819.

Note: In 1805 on the Tax list was an Isaac Hodge. Father

In 1820 Dickson Co TN in
what is thought to be the home of John were two men listed
ages 45 and up. Could if of been this Isaac?
