The son of John and Mary (Mills) Hodgson, John was raised in the Quaker community in Guilford County, North Carolina. He lived through the Revolution, but as a Quaker, did not participate. In Guilford County, he married Naomi Macki, and began raising a family with her, having the children: Soloman, Anna, Zachariah, John, Charity, and Henry. John continued acquiring land in Guilford County while raising his family there. However, Naomi died while still only in her 30s.
John remarried to Sarah Johnson on March 19, 1800, and had five children with her while still in North Carolina: Benjamin, Naomi, Sarah, Uriah, and Abigail. They moved as a family with other Quakers who were uncomfortable with the slave power in North Carolina to Highland County, Ohio by 1808. They settled in the Fairfield Monthly Meeting community, and John had four more children with Sarah here: Mary, Allen, George, and Rachel. They became one of the first families to attend Clear Creek Monthly Meeting after it opened just across the county line in Clinton County. John died and was buried there on February 20, 1823, survived by his wife. He was a hatter.
