So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - The name HODGE is supposed to have had Norman French origin in the form of Roger, and signifies quiet or strong counsel. [1] According to one authority, a Roman knight followed William the Conqueror, and after the conquest in 1066, settled in Scotland, the name Roger becoming first Oger, then Odger, Hodger, and finally, Hodge.
In colonial days it was frequently spelled with a final s. The family coat of arms and crest are described in Hodge Genealogy, the crest being also pictured in Crests of Great Britain and Ireland [2]. Its great simplicity indicates its antiquity.
I. Our immigrant ancestor, John HODGE, had a brother >Charles, who was of Lyme, Connecticut, in 1686, where both lived for a while. Charles later moved to New Haven, where some of his children and some of his brother John's, also, located. Somewhat confusing is the fact that John named his second son Thomas, and Charles named his first son Thomas.[3] From this fact it is inferred the brothers were descendants, possibly sons or grandsons, of the Thomas Hodge who was baptized, according to its parish register, at Bicester, County Oxford, England, on 3 May 1583, in the church of Saint Edbury. This church was erected about 1400, and the town, of about two thousand inhabitants, is near Oxford, and about 58 miles from London.[4]
John Hodge was born about 1643, and was married 12 August 1666[5], in Windsor, Connecticut, to Susanna, daughter of that Henry DENSLOW who was killed by Indians at Windsor Locks, 4 April 1676.[6] She was born 3 September 1646. As early as 28 December 1663, John Hodge was a resident of what is now Clinton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Until 1840 this town was a part of the town of Killingworth, originally called the Hammanasset Plantation "that lyeth between. Guilford and Saybrook." It was settled in October, 1663, by pioneers who came chiefly from Hartford, Windsor, and Guilford. At that time a committee of three persons was appointed by the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut "to establish binding rules for the settlement of the plantation." The next March the town was incorporated, and was called Killingworth, in honor of Edward Griswold, one of its first settlers, who had been born in Killingworth, England. John Hodge was one of the men who, on 28 December 1663, were given land there, his lot being No. 27.[7]
He probably remained in Killingworth until 1670, when, it is thought, he became disgusted with the swamps and wilds of that locality as many others did, and removed to Windsor, where his wife's parents were still living on a large tract of land, a great portion of which is now included in the town of Windsor Locks. About this time >Susanna's father, Henry Denslow, gave her eighty acres of land, though without executing a deed. After the death of her father, Mrs. Hodge claimed the land, and it went to her children, although there is no evidence that Mr. Hodge ever lived upon it, or cultivated it.
At the time of its incorporation, 3 June 1674, John Hodge was allotted sixty acres of land in Suffield, adjoining Windsor on the north. He doubtless continued to reside in Windsor, however, for some time after that, for several children born to him are. there recorded. Later, be removed to Suffield, where he was living as late as 1 April 1685, and probably until 1687. In 1688 and 1691 he paid personal taxes in the town of Lyme, Connecticut[8], and in September, 1692, three of his children were baptized in Middletown by the "Communion of Churches, their mother owning the covenant."[9]
John Hodge died at Lyme, between 1692 and 1694, in which latter year his widow, in June, signed a quit claim to all further share in the estate of her father and mother, her signature at the time being: "Susanna Hodg, of Lyme, in the County of New London, formerly wife of John Hodg."[10]

He died 2 May 1712, three months after the birth of his ninth child. Until a few years ago a stone, in the old West Haven Cemetery, bore the inscription, "Thomas Hodge, Died May 2, 1712, Aged 43." This stone was removed to give place to an addition to the church. After the death of Mr. Hodge, his widow Judith married, as his second wife, Daniel, son of the settler Henry Bristol and his second wife; Lydia Browne, daughter of Francis and Mary Browne. Daniel Bristol's first wife was Hester (Esther), daughter of John and Elizabeth (Post) Sperry, who had borne him eight children.[14] No children were born to Daniel and Judith.
