Hi Laura, May I also suggest that you check out the Thurman line. A very good source is at lthurman@megabits.net sometimes they will have the name of at least the brides' father on auxiliary lines. It's worth a try. Debbie Lance -----Original Message----- From: Laura Paxton [mailto:llpaxton@murlin.com] Sent: Friday, November 06, 1998 3:10 PM To: DODSON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: ALMIRA J.

To ALL Hanks/Hanks descendants............ Dan Hanks of Salt Lake City, Utah has just this day updated our Hanks Family Reunion Webpage. Please check it out at http://www.enol.com/~hanksdc/hanksplace/reunion.html It includes a schedule of events, times, prices of events, cost of hotel rooms, names of Hanks/Hanks descendants participating in the different events plus more.

It contains information about nearby airports, campgrounds and golf courses, Also, Betty Hanks of Glendale, NY is donating a handmade log cabin quilt (that she is currently making) to the reunion to be auctioned off to help defray reunion expenses. Thanks again to Dan Hanks of Salt Lake City for updating our Reunion page. And congratulations to Dan and his wife, on the recent birth of their first child, Joseph Daniel Hanks, b.

Mr Mayhew, I copied them in jpg. Hope that helps scotsman

Earliest? I have Catherine (or Katherine) Dodson in Northumberland Co, VA. She was born 1649?, m. to Henry Boggess 1670 in Northumberland, d. after 1680 in Northumberland. Does anyone have any info on Catherine? Parents? Origin? Can anyone with early VA Dodsons link her? Help help! Thanks, Cyndi in Baltimore

A number of you Dodson kin are interested in the connections with the Durham and Hunt families who came from Bermuda. Here are some new GenWeb Sites that I just found out about. Possibly there are some leads here: Caribbean GenWeb Site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~caribgw/ Barbados GenWeb Site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~brbwgw/ Inhabitants of Barbados who possessed more than ten acres of land in 1638: http://www.rootsweb.com/~brbwgw/bdos1638.htm Bermuda GenWeb Site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~bmuwgw/bermuda.htm There are places to send in queries to the various GenWeb sites for these and other islands. Maybe someone needs to post a query. I also noticed 2 researchers listed who are researching HUNT in Bermuda. That should be a big help. The connection I have to Dodsons (I can't vouch for all this information) is: 1) Gov. Richard Hunt (arrived in Bermuda in 1647), b. Bromley, Kent, England; md. Sarah _________, b. Bromleyl, Kent, England. 2) Judith Hunt, b. before 1647 Bromley, Kent England; md. 14 Feb. 1660 in Bermuda to Henry Durham, b. possibly in Bermuda, d. unknown 3) Thomas Durham, b. ca. 1661 Bermuda, d. 1715 Richmond Co., VA; md. ca. 1680 Richmond Co., VA to Dorothy [SURNAME UNKNOWN]--possibly maiden name of Smoot or Gilbert, b. ca. 1660 MD, d. aft. 1715 Richmond Co., VA 4) Mary Durham, b. 5 June 1686 Richmond Co., VA, d. aft. 1740 Richmond Co., VA; md. ca. 1701 Richmond Co., VA to Thomas Dodson, b. 15 May 1681 Rappahannock Co., VA, d. 21 Nov. 1740 Richmond Co., VA Note Thomas Dodson in Generation #4 was the son of Charles and Ann Dodson, the earliest proven ancestors in the Dodson Line of Virginia. Sincerely, Glenn Gohr ggohr01@mail.orion.org

Scotsman, I have your file but cannot identify the type of file. Can you tell me what you used and your system. J. Mayhew

Thanks for your reply. All my Dodsons were mainly in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, however they were a prolific bunch so it is possible we connect. scotsman

As per your request, I have unsubscribed your from the Dodson List. Hope this helps.

I am also researching Dodson, where were your Dodson's from? What years are you looking at? My Dodson was in Mo. & Ar. Rhoda Bell Dodson b. 15 March 1880 Kansas She lived in Butler Co. Mo. and in Ar. She married Cornellius Walter Harkness in Randoph Co. Ar. 9 July 1899 If any of this might go along with your search, let me know. I will send more info. BSims

I want to thank everyone for all the information on My Tree (ours). Now I can tell everyone how excited you get when something falls together with the information you have been wondering about. Betty you are wonderful and patience thank you. Everybody that answered are great. Some groups are silence and don't help everyone with their quest. Now on with the journey.

Thanks Gary for sending the information. Betty

I often see these volumes listed as a source for information on our DODSON Ancestors -- are they considered "The" definitive volumes, the "true" or as nearly true a history of our family origin as is available? Where do they begin -- with which Ancestor? I'm relatively new to the list, and my DODSON research to date, has been dependent on quality communication and suggestions from more experienced listmembers. Will you share your opinions, please? With best regards, Julie Kosmata Elliott Descendent of Elinor DODSON, said to be a daughter of Greenham DODSON and Elinor HIGHTOWER, through her second marriage, to Thomas TAYLOR.

Here's the line I think you are looking for; Sorry it's so long, but I had to get your ancestor to show up in the mix; Wow, this stuff could drive you insane.
