DATA from Jesse Hodges Pension Record
Jesse Hodges was born 11 February 1754, Halifax Co., Virginia. His family moved to Pittsylvania Co., VA while he was still a small boy. There he married, 18 Oct 1775 Elizabeth Collins, born 28 Aug. 1760.
October 1780, Jesse Hodges entered the Revolutionary War as a volunteer soldier
under Captain William Dick, Lt. William Wilkerson and Orderly Sergeant David
Chism. The company was organized and
marched from Pittsylvania Co., where he volunteered, to Halifax old Court
House. There they joined a brigade
commanded by Gen. Stephens and Col. Hayne Morgan, who were under the command of
Gen. Green. The Brigade was marched to
various places in Virginia and North Carolina, eventually reaching Guilford
County, North Carolina.
Jesse Hodges was at Guilford only a
short time when the army realized a need for wagons and teams. Learning that he had a team and wagon at
home, the general sent him back to Pittsylvania County, Virginia, to get
them. He was accompanied by three
guards. He returned as soon as possible
and was placed under Abner Wells, Wagon master. Mr. Jamison was head wagon master. It was February 1781 when he rejoined the army with his wagon and
team. He was with the army during the
battles at Ramouis Mills and Guilford Court House and was ordered to drive his
wagon and team to Troublesom Iron Works.
The army followed the British across Deep River into South Carolina, and
Jesse returned to his home in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, with a discharge
which ended his first six-months’ tour of duty.
Shortly after returning home, Jesse
Hodges was again drafted for a six months’ tour of duty under Capt. Thomas
Hudgens. He was mustered into service
at Bucklier Tavern, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He served 21 days of this enlistment and hired a cousin of his
(James Casey) to serve out the balance of this time.
