About John Hodges
From "Genealogical record of the Hodges Family in New England", at https://archive.org/stream/genealogicalrec01unkngoog#page/n82/mode/1up
John Hodges was bequeathed (under certain conditions) by his
grandfather, Henry Andrews, "a certain dwelling house with a garden
adjoining to it and a parcel of land belonging to it, scittuate and
being in Taunton aforesaid near unto my [Henry Andrews] dwelling
house. The conditions were that the house should belong to Mary,
John's mother, and her heirs; if Mary should die before Henry
Andrews' wife (who was made life tenant), then John was to have it.
This house must have been on Dean street, not far from the Unita-
rian Church (First Church) towards Taunton River. John Hodges
was a baby when his grandfather willed the property, and never
made this his home, but lived a short distance west of Taunton
Green on the old Providence road. His house stood on what is now
the east comer of Tremont and Granite streets. It was torn down
and a new one built on the same site by his son William as early as
1730, it is thought, and perhaps earlier. The house and lot have
been owned and occupied by his descendants until the present time.
They descended from father to son to the sixth generation : — John
to William to Abijah to William to William Chandler. On the
death of the last, unmarried, they passed to his mother and then to
his sister, Mrs. Mary Chandler(Hodges) Dean, who sold them to the
present owner, Lewis Hodges Goward, son of Eliza (Hodges)
Goward, daughter of Josiah son of Josiah son of Nathan son of
John Hodges.
John Hodges was a man of enterprise and accumulated a large
amount of real estate. He was one of the original purchasers, Nov.
26, 1672, of Taunton South Purchase (Dighton) which was bought
of King Philip. He was on a Coroner's Jury at Plymouth Court,
Sept 20, 1672. The roster of April 8, 1682, shows that he was then
in the 2d squadron of the Taunton Military Company. There were
4 squadrons which took turns in bringing "their Armes to meeting
on every Sabbath day untill the last of October, according to Court
order." On June 3, 1684, he was appointed Constable of Taunton.
On Jan'y 5, 1709/10, he gave an acre of land, as an inducement to
settle, to the first minister who should settle in Taunton North Pre-
cinct (Norton). His will was dated May 27, 1719, and proved Oct
1, 1719.
