listed with his wife  Sarah and children.

*Seth Hodges (1823)  is in the same census in this house hold age
27. He married Mary Rainey  on 3 March 1850. I believe them to be
Seth sons, but don' t know who their mother is.  Elizabeth
Thrasher  is thought to have died about 1813. The first recorded
child of Mary Abigail is Elizabeth Jane  1828.  Mary Abigail may
have been born about 1809 thus making her 19 years old when she
had her first child.  It seems logical that Seth had a wife
between Elizabeth Thrasher and Mary Abigail, unless Elizabeth died
after 1823.  Yet there is nothing to support that.
