This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Dodd, Martin, Hardin, Wood, Davis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QV.2ADI/495.1.3.1 Message Board Post: I have three people named Benjamin H. DODD in my database. 1. Benjamin H. DODD, born about 1844 in Arkansas, the son of Abner H. DODD and Mary Jane MARTIN of Independence Co., AR 2. Benjamin H. DODD, born 19 Apr 1875 in Arkansas, the son of James M. DODD and Joicy Caroline DAVIS who were married in Independence Co., AR and moved to Red River Co., TX 3. Benjamin Hardin DODD born 17 Nov 1877 to John S. DODD and Mary Ann WOOD of Independence Co., AR. Benjamin H. DODD born 1844 is the uncle of the other two. All three of these people were most likely named for Benjamin HARDIN, who fought in the Revolutionary War, died in 1848, and is buried in the Wyatt Cemetery, Independence Co., AR. Benjamin HARDIN is the father of Nancy HARDIN who married William MARTIN. Their daughter, Mary Jane MARTIN, married Abner H. DODD. I have never seen a connection of this Hardin family with John Wesley Hardin.
