He appears to have left home prior to the 1900 census, however, and the Arthur Manire enumberated with Joel Manire, below, is likely a namesake nephew. Indeed, he is listed as a grandson, and not son, of Joel Manire.

On this memorial, Arthur D. MANIRE (1 Sep 1878-23 Nov 1955) is shown as a son of Benajim F. MANIRE and Mary Adeline ELLISON. Benjamin is shown as a son of Joel James MANIRE and Elizabeth Mariah POATS, all of whom also have memorials on FindAGrave. Arthur's tombstone is engraved as Arthur D.

Arthur married Willie May Hodges before 1893. Willie (daughter of Benjamin Franklin Hodges and Sarah M. "Sally" Gentry) was born about 1876 in Texas; died after 1899. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

CSA, Company A, 12th Texas Cavalry from Hill County, Texas. His first application for a pension, made in 1910, was rejected because they could not find his name in the rolls. It was approved in 1926. His brother's, G.A Hodges and L.C. Hodges, both of Sterling City, Texas stated they knew he served for three years. G.A. had served in the same company and regiment. An affadavit of witnesses, dated August 5, 1926 is signed by J.Williamson and Elmer Williamson. Elmer may be the son in law of John M. Gentry and J. Williamson could be either Jerry or his son Jason Williamson.

In HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS, in a story about his father, it states that Benjamin was a farmer in Indian Territory. A Hodges descendant gave the names of the children to Lynell Cordell in February 1999.

His father was Newel Hodges and Theodocia Lindsey.

At the time of the 1910 and 1920 federal census enumerations, the widowed Benj. Hodges was living in the home of his son-in-law, also a widower, Arthur C. Manire.

Benjamin married Sarah M. "Sally" Gentry in Texas. Sarah (daughter of Preacher William G. Gentry and Mary "Polly" ???) was born about 1838 in Kentucky; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sarah and her husband were listed as heirs to her mother's estate in 1871 in Grayson County. They received a portion of land west of Sherman. They were also listed as heirs to W.G. Gentry in Hill County, Texas where they sold land that had belonged to W.G. in 1883. A part of these records show that B.F. and Sarah appeared before J.B. Massie, Court Clerk, in Throckmorton County, Texas in January 1884. Throckmorton County is two counties west of Wise County, where some of the family ended up in the 1880's.
