She died March 31, 1843, of cancer. Mr. Hodge died April 9, 1856. It is probable that it was this Jesse Hodge who was in the war of 1812-14. (See Connecticut records.) He was made an elector in Milford, Conn., July 4, 1818. June 4, 1826, he changed from the Congregational Church in North Milford to the church in Milford, and Sept. 4, 1831, became by letter a member of the church in West Haven, where he was a deacon, and it is said stood high in the community. We have no account of any children except one had by his first wife."
