Hodgins ...Kindred Forever, compiled by Lester Hodgins of British Columbia, Canada. Published by the International Centre Hodgins Family History Society, Vancouver, B.C., 1977, p. 19.
From the Hodgins book (above):
...In the year 1715 he [Robert] went to Nenagh where he made his permanent home...He acquired property, built a large house, and married Mary Glass who was very young at the time. Family historians inform us that Robert and Mary had seventeen children. [Only the first five listed here are known for sure, four more are suspected to be part of the same family...]
Robert is grand-patriarch of nearly all the large clans of Hodgins in Canada [which makes Mary the grand-matriarch].
