Nathan Hodges Jr. and Hannah Morey, came from a family of six siblings and lived in Norton, Massachusetts during the turbulent years of America's Revolutionary War. His father Nathan served his native country during the Crown Point expeditions in 1756-60. Sanders moved to Lyman, Grafton County, New Hampshire along with the rest of his father's family in about 1788 it is believed, even though his father Nathan had evidently been in and signed town documents in Lyman as early as April 1777. His marriage to Joanna "Jane" Knapp occurred in about 1790-91, and the record shows they became the parents of 4 boys and 2 girls. Sanders served as a selectman in Lyman, and an ad appeared in the "New-Hampshire Gazette" of 6 Jun 1797, informing the townspeople that he and the two other selectmen were accepting the labors of the townsmen (in lieu of property taxes of 3 cents per acre) to make and repair necessary roads & bridges in town. In autumn of 1804 he had petitioned for 200 acres of land not far across the border in Canada, and he and his young family removed about that time to Lot 9 in the 13th Range of Stanstead Twp, Stanstead county, Quebec, he purchasing the lease for the same in 1805. In February of 1807 he sold this lot to his brother Lyman and shortly thereafter settled in Colborne, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland, Ontario. He had become an Ensign in the First Regiment Northumberland Militia by June of 1810 at the age of 43, and served during the War of 1812, performing in an escort role accompanying American prisoners to the fort at Kingston, Ontario. It is thought he served until resigning as a Lieutenant sometime after March of 1813. Sanders died in 1820, leaving his widow and at least 5 of his 6 children surviving; Note: One exclusive duty of the First Regiment Northumberland Militia was in escorting American prisoners to Kingston. The First Regiment was primarily a supply and support group, as it seems it may have been made up of older soldiers who may have been too old to be actively engaged in the repeated rigors of combat. It also took part in the transportation of "Government stores" (supplies) between Kingston, York (Toronto), and Burlington, Upper Canada. (Also the Militia Act of 1794 (also 1808) stated that every man between the ages of sixteen and sixty should be enrolled in a militia regiment or independent company; so this Act helps explain Sanders joining the militia.)" per GEDCOM of Michael Mather (mikemather63@yahoo.com) May 14 2017.¹ He appeared on the census of 1810 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; 1810 Census: Sanders Hodges; 1 male over 16, 1 female over 16, 4 males under 16, 5 females under 16 (Newcastle District Census & Assessment Records, Cramahe Twp.)³ He "He had become an Ensign in the First Regiment Northumberland Militia by June of 1810 at the age of 43, and served during the War of 1812, performing in an escort role accompanying American prisoners to the fort at Kingston, Ontario." per GEDCOM of Michael Mather (mikemather63@yahoo.com) May 14 2017. in 1812 at Upper Canada.¹ He appeared on the census of 1812 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; 1812 Census: Sanders Hodges; 2 males over 16, 2 females over 16, 2 males under 16, 2 females under 16; Total 7 or 8?

Col. Peters at Hodges Inn, Cramahe, 'A detachment of York Militia are on their way from York with 79 prisoners. I am ordered to get ready a guard of at least 30 men to relieve them and request you will furnish me with the men, as soon as possible to be at the Court House tomorrow evening.'" from Homesteads, by Margaret McBurney & Mary Byers, pg 161

How long he resided there is not known, as his father's death caused the dispersion of the family, and there is no record of his life until he emigrated to Michigan in 1820, and settled in Pontiac, where he died, in 1845. Mr. Hodges early engaged in mercantile business, and followed it many years successfully. He was Deputy Sheriff, and afterwards Sheriff of the county. While holding that office, he married, in 1828, Mary A. Williams, daughter of Oliver Williams, of Silver Lake, Oakland County, and took up his abode in the old court-house at Pontiac. He retained the office of Sheriff a long time; and, as the county was large, his business was very extensive. The country was new, without good roads or bridges, and it was often necessary, in the performance of his official duties, to swim his horse across the streams, and follow the Indian trails from one settlement to another. With an energy that would not be daunted by any obstacle, he was ever ready to make sacrifices for the best interests of Pontiac and Oakland County. He was personally identified with their growth and prosperity from their earliest history, having held in both positions of responsibility and trust. He was ever eager for the advancement of the young and thriving village of Pontiac; and, in 1838-39, built there one of the best hotels west of Buffalo,--called the Hodges House. He conducted this hotel until his death; and it still stands a monument of his industry and public spirit. Two of his sons died in early manhood; the eldest leaving two children, who are still living with their mother and grandmother at the old homestead in Pontiac. Mrs. Hodges survives her husband,--a link between the early settlement of the State and its present prosperity."
