I am a family historian, a genealogist, one who puts families together, who finds those who have been lost for many years and acquaints modern day generations with their ancestors. There's nothing like having a full family tree!Flag Counter

Thomas P. Hodges was my great, great grandfather. He was a medical doctor, and went to Louisville medical colleege, now University of Louisville Medical School. He married Catherine Francis Carter, and took over her father, James T. Carter’s(1788-1858) farm in Green County, KY. The farm is in the family today, and many of my ancestors are burried there.
What a wonderful addition to the blog! Do the Carter’s have roots in Nelson County, Kentucky, by any chance?
