Susannah Hodgen

(3 Oct 1767 - )



Susannah Hodgen's father was Robert Hodgen - his first wife, and her mother, was likely an Adkins.

SUSANNAH HODGEN: Born in Pennsylvania, October 3, 1767. Moved to Virginia about 1775. Married John Thomas, who served in the Revolutionary Army as a Captain and who became a Major General of the Kentucky Militia in the War of 1812. JOHN THOMAS patented the lands on Green River, in Kentucky, as early as the year 1786, and was a resident of this State from that time till his second marriage, 1831, when he moved to Indiana, where he remained until his death, which occurred about 1835. On the fifth day of April, 1831, he conveyed to Charles Middleton the tract of land on which he had lived for many years. This land is described in the deed to Middleton (recorded in Deed Book R, page 349, Hardin County) as being at "the forks of Nolynn." South Fork Creek is also shown as part of the boundary of the land. Hence, it is evident that General Thomas' home was at the mouth of the latter stream, near Nolynn Church. The writer had been informed that it was the farm now known as the Wight place. After the death of Susannah Hodgen Thomas, Gen. Thomas married her widowed half-sister, Rebecca Hodgen Keith
