"Search inside" for Hodges - pages 131/132 refute the claim of his being "in trade".

Survey of St. Dunstan's Stepney, 1905 - Churchyard and Monuments

Sir Nathaniel Hodges, Knight (1727). Altar tomb much broken and decayed. Arms 3 crescents and a canton impaling a bordure. Crest on a ducal coronet over a knight's helmet, a crescent.

Yes, I wasn't saying that Nathaniel was "in trade", but that it is quite possible that his father was.

Do we know when Nathaniel Hodges received his knighthood ?

[katerimmer]

Yes, he was knighted by King George I, 24 Feb 1726/7.

Thank you.  I was trying to work out the timeline for Nathaniel Hodges ... maybe ...
1725 inherited from Joseph Jory,
1725 "laid down his ministry",
1725 purchased a half-share in the Buttall sugarhouse (so now "in trade"),
1727 knighted,
1727 died.

I researched this family tree for a friend of my son. I must say in all the years I have done family research the Buttall family has been the most interesting - every twig of the tree threw up a new surprise. Obviously I don't have permission from the family to put this information online - and because of poor health I am no longer able to pursue the research myself. However if you message me privately via rootschat I will pass your details to my son's friend and ask his family to contact you.
