Hodges In Civil War, Georgia, C. S. A.

I haven't done a surname name list in a long wile, so I decided to do one on the Hodges. These Hodges are all Confederate Soldiers from Georgia. This post covers a lot of the Georgia Regiments. .

Approximately ten Hodges names are not listed.  They were unable to be obtained, be cause of copyright laws.
