| Notes |
- Rebecca and Phoebe were carried off by the Indians, but after months of hardship among the red men, got away and returned home and were afterwards happily married. Rebecca married General George Washington Hodges and Phoebe married Gabriel Hodges. Washington, Gabriel and Drucilla were brothers and sisters. Frank Hodges of Abbeville whose chimney was struck by lightning is descended from Rebecca (See legend of the signet ring).
At about the same time Dorothy Hodges (Rosamond) was indeed kidnapped by the Indians and she had a son by one of them. Permitted by her Indian captor to return home for a visit, she extended the visit to a permanent stay. He son returned to the Indian father and was not heard from again.
