Per Norton, Bristol County, MA Vital Records: Simeon Hodges (Memorial ID: 71104142 ) born June 4, 1740, son of Samuel and Ruth Hodges, married Susannah (Cobb) on July 4, 1765. Susannah was born Jan 1, 1747-8, the ch. of William and Anne Cobb. Their children born in Norton: ( married elsewhere)
i. Samuel Hodges b. Nov. 12, 1766, (Mem. ID: 82883280)d. at Winfield NY on Jan. 20, 1838; married on Oct . 12, 1794 his ( 1st ) wife Lydia (Bradley), b. on Sep 28, 1775 at Lee MA, she d. at Winfield NY on Jun -22, 1862.
iii. Simeon b. Jan 28, 1770, married first on Sept 30, 1794: Patty Burnett (b. Nov. 8, 1769 at Warwick). He died Mar. 7, 1854 at Mentor, OH
iv. Sarah b. May 11, 1774
v. Silas (Mem. ID:956063380) b. June 2, 1776, married Experience Tobey (Mem. ID: 194153180)
vi. Hannah b. Apr 27, 1780
They also had a ch. [ii.] Simeon that died in Norton Jan 31, 1769 in 8th month G.R.5, but I see no Norton Birth record there for this ch. Simeon. (Thus, their son Simeon above was the second and surviving son named Simeon)
Simeon's 1st wife, Susannah (Cobb), likely died either in or after 1780, her death is not in the Norton Vital Records. (One source noted herein estimates she died 1783 to 1788) She may have been living when her husband Simeon moved to Savoy, Berkshire County MA, sometime after his service in the Revolutionary war. He may have been granted land in Savoy for his service? Savoy Vital records are not available online.
See his DAR Ancestor #: A056219 at https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A056219 which confirms his two wives, and some of his descendants.

His second wife was Sarah (Fisher), ( Memoriall ID: 71104165). Her gravestone provides her birthdate as: Jan 20, 1749 in Norton. The Norton Vital Records have a Sarah Fisher b. Jan. 13, 1749, ch. [of] Elezar and Elizebeth Fisher, and a baptized date [the same day as other siblings] of June 20, 1756, ch. [of] Eleazer. It is probable, in my opinion, that she is the same Sarah Fisher, even though the birth dates are not an exact match.

I will be submitting an edit suggestion for Simeon, Memorial ID: 71104142, about the information in his Bio from Find a Grave Contributor Nancy (Zeise) Cloutier (#47605741), that erroneously states that Simeon [Sr.] married Sally Burnett, when in fact, it was his son, Simeon. who did. The children listed of that union, would therefore, actually be his grandchildren)
