Dr. James C. Hodge was born in Henderson county, October 21, 1852, a son of Rev. Robert Hodge. Rev. Hodge was born in Tennessee, moved to Mississippi, and in 1850 came to Texas. Locating in Anderson county he spent two years there as an itinerant preacher. From there he moved to Henderson county, buying a farm in the Science Hill locality, where at that time the best schools in the county existed, and he was a trustee of those schools during the remainder of his life. His death occurred in 1866 at the age of sixty-two. His work as a minister and as a citizen can be only briefly mentioned here.
He organized the First Presbyterian church at Fincastle in Henderson county, at Concord in Anderson county, and Brushy Creek in Anderson county, and the first church of that faith in Athens in 1855. He belonged to the Bacon Presbytery. In 1860 he took the census of Henderson county. In politics he was always a Democrat, and led a life of long and honorable usefulness. He had only a common school education, but was a student both of books and men and began preaching when about twenty years of age.
In the state of Mississippi near Jackson, in the old home of Governor Runnells of that state and father of Governor Dick Runnells of Texas, Reverend Hodge was married to Miss Bethany Hall, a niece of Governor Runnells just mentioned and a cousin of the Texas Governor.
She died in 1860 at forty-six years of age. She was born in Mississippi in 1815, and her children are mentioned as follows:
Harden A., who died wearing the Confederate uniform during the war; Mrs. Captain Geo. P. Wallace of Mississippi, who died in Texas; Aurelia, who married Asbury Mitcham and died in Texas without children
