      "SUPPLEMENTAL TO SPRAGUE FAMILIES IN AMERICA", by F. H. Sprague, page 11.
      Henry and Esther (Gallup) Hodge were of Taunton, MA

      Internet web site http://www.gencircles.com/users/hodges-utica/3/data/Henry Hodges lived within a few yards of the place where a red school house stood in Taunton. In 1820. He was a leading man in the settlement, holding the town offices for many years. He was captain of the military company, and was a deacon and presiding elder of the church. He owned much real estate and was administrator of a large number of estates. From his prominence in his allottment of lands, he would seem that he was a surveyor. In 1681, he was constable at Taunton; he was a selectman for 28 years, was a member of the town council two years and represented Taunton in the general court five years. He was on the roster of the Third Squadron of the military company, ordered to bring arms to church on Sundays. He was elected ensign of the First Military Company in March 1698, when the town was greatly excited over the question as to who should command the company. Before 1703 the Second Military Company was organized, and he was its first captain and retained command until the North Precinct of Taunton was established. He was buried in 1717 in the "Neck of Land Burying Ground." Henry Hodges and Esther Gallup m. 17 Dec. 2 1674.[barnes6-4-2004.FTW]
