I don't have much on the families of which you are interested.
I do have Elizabeth Cocke born about 1749 married on June 2, 1774 William
Hodges.
They had one child, a son, William Jr. from Cockes and Cousins Vol. I.
In Vol II I have William Hodges, jr. m. 8 December 1795, Goochland Co.
Elizabeth Cocke, dau. of Jane Johnston and James Cocke whose will, dated 11
Oct. 1819 calls her "my daughter Elizabeth Hodges."
The compiler of the book states "This section need additional study, both to
be sure that the individuals have been correctly identified and to identify
descendants. Recorded in Goochalnd Co. is the will of William Hodges dated 9
August 1827. Wife Mary: dau. of Martha Page: son James Hodges; dau. Elizabeth
Hodges; dau Elizabeth Bellmanny, niece Sophia Page: Thomas Hodges. Plat of
land left by William Hodges to wife Mary. Who was this William Hodges? He
could not have been
the son of the couple married in 1795. Elizabeth could not have been the
mother of the married children named in the will dated 1827, but she was not
the surviving wife of the testator."
Elizabeth Cocke (3 February 1775- ) daughter of James Cocke and Jane
Johnson
m. 8 December 1795, Goochland Co.,Va William Hodges, Jr. son of Elizabeth
Cocke and William Hodges.
Confusing? I don't know that this will help.

> Looking for the parentage of William S. HODGES & Richard FORD, my GGGG Grandfathers.
>
> William S. HODGES was born ~ 1795 in either Goochland Co./Louisa Co., VA. He married Martha HALL, Daughter of James and Nancy PETTIT in the early 1820s in Goochland/Louisa & died in 1832 in Louisa Co., VA. I have a copy of his Will where the Children are named, including my GGG Grandfather William Lancelot HODGES born in 1826, and his belongings go to his Wife. A Marie HODGES is in the 1830 VA Census for Louisa Co. with Children in the right age ranges for their children, but no William. I believe this William connects to the William HODGES that bought a piece of property in 1774 called Attonce, in Louisa, and lived there till his Wife Elizabeth COCKE passed away in 1798.
>
> Richard FORD died in Mason Co., VA in 1827. He first appeared in the personal property taxes there in 1819, about the time a Richard FORD disappeared from the Faquier Co., VA personal property tax records. In 1826 Richard was given 200 acres on the Kanawha River in Mason Co. for one dollar from the estate of Howell LEWIS, a large land owner in the Mason Co. area. Interests in this property were transferred to a Samuel SUMMERS over the years 1828 - 1836 by Richard's Children. The remaining interest in the property was sold to an Alonzo FORD, my GGG Grandfather, in 1842 by a Mary FORD (maiden name given in the sale) and her husband in Illinois where they were living.
>
> I believe Alonzo was the youngest Son of Richard and his Wife (don't have a name for her) based on naming patterns of Children and a lot of other strong circumstantial evidence.

> I have a lot of information on these two families and any additional data would be appreciated. Julius (Tim) Emmett
