HDS indicates that John D. Hodges (1844-1936) of Davie County, NC, enlisted on 4/15/1863 as a private and mustered into Co. H, NC 5th Cavalry. He was listed as POW 7/12/1863 at Hagerstown, MD and paroled on 9/27/1863; POW 3/30/1865 at Dinwiddie Court House, VA, then confined at Point Lookout, MD until taking the Oath of Allegiance and being released on 6/27/1865. Hodges was first captured following the Battle of Gettysburg during which the NC 5th as part of Robertson's Cavalry Brigade in Stuart's Division held Jack's Mountain and picketed the left flank of the Army of Northern Virginia. He was captured a second time just over a week before Lee's surrender at Appomattox, spending the remainder of the war in the infamous Point Lookout prison.
After the war, Hodges earned degrees from Trinity College (now Duke University) and Yale University, and went on to become a well-respected teacher and administrator. He is credited with establishing the first high school in Union County, NC (1875), Augusta Academy (1886), and then Hodges Business College (1894).
