General Notes: Husband - Mark A. Hodgson

---

He was engaged in agricultural pursuits in New London township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, until 1861, when he removed to Oxford. He served as a justice of the peace from 1830 for a period of nearly twenty years, was a member of the New London Presbyterian Church, and a ruling elder therein for at least twenty years before his death. He was a trustee of the New London Academy, and built the first public school in his end of Chester County, erected on his own land, and by his private means, before the establishment of the public-school system. In 1854 he was a member of the State Legislature from the county.
