Parents Unknown. We know she was born in Georgia from most census reports, although she's returned born in South Carolina in 1860.

Her given name is problematic. Serliter is probably a nickname for Saleta. The only other clue are her middle intials, A.E. Folks Huxford and another authority state she is the daughter of Robert McCall and Mary Lanier of Lowndes County. However there are wide discrepancies in dates between known records of this McCall daughter, her ability to be a mother to the below children and the dates on this gravestone.

All that is definitely known is that she is the spouse of Alexander Hodges, marriage date and place unknown.

Children:
1. Edwin D Hodges - October 5, 1837
Twin girls:
2. Mary Hodges - August 16, 1839
3. Martha Hodges - August 16, 1839

In the 1860 New River, Florida, census, son Edwin is living next door and on the other side daughter Martha with husband Samuel Burton Dampier.

Martha and Edwin kept in contact over the years; letters kept by the family.
