William Mason Hodges, (b. 14 April 1754 in Halifax County, VA) married Elizabeth Kirby and signed an Oath of Allegiance in Henry County, VA. He served as a Private for two years in Col. Thomas Brandon’s Spartan Regiment of the South Carolina Militia. Pay vouchers show that he furnished a wagon and team for a Florida Expedition from May 7 through August 15, 1778. His service under Col. Brandon occurred before the fall of Charleston on May 12, 1780. They lived in Halifax County, VA by 1782 and Warren Co. GA by 1798.

Elizabeth died in Morgan Co. AL in 1824. He married Elizabeth McGlathery on 9 February 1830 at Limestone Co., AL, which produced no children. William died on his 89th birthday, April 14, 1843, at Wolf Springs, Lawrence Co., AL. He is buried at Masterson Cemetery. His grave is now identified with a DAR marker. His heirs pursued a pension and bounty land on account of his Revolutionary War service. The application was rejected. I am descended through his daughter Frances Hodges Wallace

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
