The Hodgson clan of Athens Georgia, led by Edward Reginald Hodgson and Anne Bishop, built a prominent business empire from a 1842 carriage factory to Empire State Chemical and Georgia enterprises. The clan supplied Civil War soldiers including William Edward and Captain Albon Hodgson, with descendants advancing in law, education, agriculture, and public service in Athens and beyond. The reunion photo captures eight Hodgson brothers and one sister with long civic and military legacies across generations.
