p. 39
WM. HODGE was also a good Whig. His place was some three miles above Grindal's Shoals; it is now occupied by his grandson Moses Hodge.  While Morgan was encamped at the Shoals, his house was plundered and burnt by Tarleton's men, the old man made prisoner, and sent to Camden jail.  He, however, escaped and returned home.  

p. 48
Wm. Hodges resided on Pacolet, two miles above the shoal.  Tarleton went to his house just after the battle of Blackstocks, took him and burnt his house, killed his stock, and sent him to Camden jail.  He cut out the grating of a window with a pocket knife and he, Dan'l McFunkin and some others, passed the guards and made their escape.
