Biographical History
Samuel Hodges, Jr. (1792-1827) was in business with his father in Easton, Mass., until appointed 1st Lieutenant of the 40th Regiment of Infantry in 1813. He served in Taunton, Mass., as a recruiter and in Boston. After resigning his commission from the Army, he acted as an attorney for veterans applying for their land bounties. He was also involved in a dispute with Colonel Joseph Loring (1767-1838) of the 40th Infantry. By 1815, he had moved to Stoughton, Mass., and was acting as "Proprietors' Clerk" for the Gay Cotton Manufacturing Company. After several unsuccessful attempts to gain a government post, he was appointed U.S. Consul-General for the Cape Verde Islands (off the coast of west Africa). He served in this post from 1818 until his death, returning to the U.S. for visits in 1821 and 1823. Although he traveled around the islands, his home base was on St. Jago where he was actively engaged in trade in addition to his consular duties.
American consul general and commission merchant at Cape Verde.
