Biographical History
William Brown Hodgson (1801-1871) was born in Georgetown, D.C., and spent several years in the near East as Dragoman and Consul. He mastered thirteen languages, although he never attended college. In 1842, he married Margaret Telfair and moved to Savannah where he spent the rest of his life. Hodgson joined the Georgia Historical Society and was named a curator in 1845. He was also a member of the American Oriental Society. He published several studies on North African languages, Georgia fossils (principally the Megatherium), all of which are in the Georgia Historical Society's library. Hodgson died in 1871 while visiting New York City. A new headquarters and library for the Georgia Historical Society was erected by Margaret Telfair in memory of her husband; Hodgson Hall was dedicated on February 14, 1876.
