William W. HODGES married Caroline Perrin Bowden December 09, 1881. They had no children of their own. Although Aunt Carrie, as she was known to her family, never had children of her own, she & William (Willie) became the foster parents of the orphaned children of Carrie's brothers, Whiteford (married Susan Wishart) and William Bowden (married Ludy Betts Huggins), both of whom died at an early age. William's children were: Mary, Kate, William, Isadore,Theophilus Huggins, Lucy & Alvis Walker BOWDEN and Whiteford's children were Emma (married Leland Lake Jones) and Walter BOWDEN.
The BOWDEN-Hodges home was located at 213 N. Second Street, Wilmington, NC, where the 1910 census lists Carrie BOWDEN and her husband, William HODGES, her niece, Emma BOWDEN, age 13, orphaned daughter of Carrie's brother Whiteford, and thirteen non-relatives, presumably roomers. By 1916, it appears that the family home had been sold and the Bowden-Hodges family was living at 313 North 2nd Street in Wilmington. Some time later they lived at 402 North 2nd Street.
William & Aunt Carrie were lifelong members of Grace Methodist Church, and always gave of themselves unselfishly to any charitable cause. They were highly respected in the community.
