| 8102 | MHR note: Possibly moved to New Orleans. Said to have never married. Peter Thompson Hedges, his nephew, ran across him at New Orleans. A t that time he was a huckster and had never married. Ida Cronkhite (daughter of Peter Thompson Hedges) said that James had quarreled, at 19 with his brother David R. Hedges and had then left home. Aunt Rosannah said that someone had probably killed him, but "Cappy" said no. [Cappy is P.T. Hedges] MHR note: letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 11 March 1951. James Hedges was the youngest son of Levi Hedges and ran a huckster wagon, if you know what that means. He started on a trading trip at the age of 19 and never came back. His mother was sure he had been murdered for his team and wagon, but father met someone who had met him at New Orleans with a fleet of three trade trucks and he sent a defiant message to his brother, David, next oldest, and the family black sheep. After that, the only thing was a funeral notice (in a church paper about 1921) of an elder of the church near Cumberland Gap who left a family and was the son of Levi and Rosannah.

| 8121 | MHR note: Stories told by Ida M. (Hedges) Cronkite to Miriam Hickman. Malinda, daughter of Peter and Mary (Armstrong) Cassity married William Ribelin Hedges. "They used to say 'she lifted the limb of a tree it took two men to lift.' This is the true story. She and a small boy with his mother were hurrying to get home from a storm. Part of a tree blew down and caught the boy and pinned him down. Malinda lifted till the mother could drag him out. Next day two men went to clear the road and it took two men to lift it from the ground. This was my father's mother and he told me he had seen her lift an anvil off the block with one hand. She could weave four yards of jeans then walk four miles up hill to spend the night with a neighbor. When she was seventy, she was still spinning and weaving. The year she was eighty-two, 1887, your grandmother came with her to Illinois. They were two days on the train. There were four sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter to visit, all in Vermilion County, but hard trips between in horse and buggy days. Then a train to Montezuma, Indiana to visit two nieces. Then to Louisville, Kentucky, where the youngest son met her with a lumber wagon to take her over a corduroy road sixteen miles to his home. Back again to Louisville and then the train on home at the mouth of Blue Bank on the Licking River near Farmers, Kentucky. "About a week later she heard there was to be preaching at Slaty Point. This was about three miles away. There she had gone to church all her life. They had no conveyance but hadn't they always walked? So she went. At the church she got sick and they took her to the nearest neighbor and a day or two later she died. She was eighty-two years old. At the age of seventeen she went from her father's home to her husband. She moved from the old house to the new and lived sixty-five years on the same farm." | Cassity, Malinda Russell (I2)
