Virginia, settled 1607, was not more than sixty years old at the time Roger Hodges and Mary Manning were married, and although the former was probably a new-comer to the Virginia scene, during their thirty years of married life, they lived in a sizeable nest of his wife's relatives.

5. Will: 10 Jan 1734/35, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ²⁶ Will dated: 10 Jan 1735 Will Proved: 1736
*Look for this will

Mary married Captain Roger Hodges [1290] ^40,41 [MRIN: 473] between 1665 and 1668.²⁷ Roger was born about 1635 ⁴⁰ and died between 1706 and 1708 ^38,39,40 about age 71.

Noted events in his life were:

1. Bio: of Roger Hodges, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ⁴² By profession Roger Hodges, Sr., was a cooper, and he seems to have been successful enough that several of his sons and grandsons followed his trade as long as they resided in tidewater Virginia. Tobacco was the medium of exchange in the Southern Colonies and making hogsbeads in which to ship it to European markets was a satisfactory occupation to at least three generations of this Hodges family.
Before his death in 1708 Roger Hodges had acquired the distinction of being addressed as Captain Roger Hodges but whether this title was one of respect, of a maritime nature or for military service, we do not kn ow, although the fact that it seems to have been bestowed late in life would indicate it to be one of respect.
The will of Roger Hodges like many of those of early 1700's is destroyed. However, from other documents of Norfolk, we have reconstructed the family of Capt. Roger Hodges and his wife, Mary Manning, daughter of John Manning, Sr., who were married about 1665-1668 in Virginia, since the Mannings had lived there even before 1648.

2. Court order: notified the court that he intended to be out of the country, 15 Apr 1666, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ¹⁰ Under date of April 15, 1666, we are introduced to Roger Hodges of Va. who that day notified the court that he intended to be out of the country (Norfolk Court Orders p. 32)

3. Deed: 200 acres fro importation of self two times, 15 Oct 1672, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ¹⁰ A certificate was granted Roger Hodge on Oct. 15, 1672 for 200 acres for importation of self two times. Since only 50 acres per person was allowed he must have had a companion each time, perhaps his wife ( p. 85 Court Orders of Norfolk 1666-1672)
Unfortunately for our Hodges research, many of the documents in Book 6 of Norfolk Records are not legible.

*get this record

4. Deed: patented 250 acres , 4 Sep 1680, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ¹⁰ There are several Hodges whose arrival in the Colony of Virignia are recorded in Nugents "Cavaliers & Pioneers" but Roger's is not unless he is the Hodges whose first name is blotted out.
And, while Roger's land holdings in Norfolk had their humble beginning in the twenty acres given Mary, probably the first child of Roger and his wife Mary Manning, he was soon to acquire more from the same source as recorded in Norfolk Records Book 6, p. 209. This too is not readable due possibly to fading and damaged by water.
On Sept. 4, 1680, he patented 250 acres in Lower Norfolk Co. (Grant Book 7, part 1, p. 55)

5. Deed: conveyed small tracts of land to Thomas Willoughby & Henry Dale, 3 Mar 1681/82, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ⁴³ Before his death in 1708, Roger Hodges and wife, Mary, in two separate deeds each dated March 3, 1682, conveyed for an unnamed consideration small tracts of land to Thomas Willoughby and Henry Dale. The fact that records show that in 1689 Willoughby had wife, Margaret, indicateds that Margaret Hodges been the daughter of Richard & Margaret Taylor, who was left in the care of her uncle, Roger Hodges in 1679. Perhaps the wife of Dale was Susannah Taylor, her sister, also now grown.

6. Deed: patented 1920 acres on south side of Northwest River, Apr 1693, Norfolk Co., Virginia. ¹⁰ In April 1693 Roger Hodges, John Creekmore and Edmund Creekmore patented 1920 acres on the south side of the Northwest River in Norfolk Co., Va.
The account of the division of this tract was recorded in Norfolk Records Book 5: p. 214 on March 15, 1693/4. "The surveyros having surveyed a tract of land about 1900 acres on the Southwest side of the Northwest River, and patented the same and having by proclamation put on a sale of lots of the said land--this is to say part of the said land is to belong to John Creekmore, another part of said land is to belong to Roger Hodges, and the lower part is to belong to Edmund Creekmore.

Virginia, settled 1607, was not more than sixty years old at the time Roger Hodges and Mary Manning were married, and although the former was probably a new-comer to the Virginia scene, during their thirty years of married life, they lived in a sizeable nest of his wife's relatives.

Children from this marriage were:

* This was part of the grant of 1920 acres which had been made to Roger Hodges I and the two Creekmores in 1693/4 and was deeded to Thomas II in exchange for his rights to other lands which his father owned. The fact that both he and his father recognized his legal rights to property still in his father's possession suggests that he was the eldest son and as such, heir to his father and the original holdings.
By turning one page over from p. 35, in Bk. 7, we find proof for this presumption. (see next event)

9. Prehaps Nicholas Manning [1161] ^6,33 was born in 1673 in Norfolk Co., Virginia ³⁴ and died in 1719 in Norfolk Co., Virginia ³⁴ at age 46.

General Notes: I put Nicholas Manning in as a son of Thomas & Sarah (Wattford) Manning with great reservation. According to the One World Tree record found in Ancestry.com, Nicholas Manning died in 1719. His father died bet. 1715-1716, why wasn't Nicholas mentioned in his will? This person needs much more conclusive documentation.

According to Florence Sutherland Hudson's book "We Cousins, Vol. II", Nicholas Manning was probably the son of John Manning 1 and wife, Lidia, not John Manning II as listed on One World Tree. I've going to leave him attached to John II, pending further investigation.
