Hi Mary, Saw your kind offer on the internet to do DAR lookups next month. I'm trying to find information on a GREEN DOTSON, he was born sometime in the early 1800's, in Tennessee. I've been told our family was in NC and VA before TN. The family stories say he and 2 sons (Names unknown) and wife MARY PORTER traveled by wagon train with some of the Roberts and Estes and were part of the founding family's of Agnos AR. Green could be his middle name. On his daughter's death cert. the father is named as Ean Dotson. Only time we have ever heard or seen him refered to as that. If anything sounds familiar to you I'd sure appreciate hearing from you, we've been stuck on him for almost 2 years now. Thanking you in advance Rochelle L. Dotson

NOTE: The following was copied from the list of Maury co., TN:. See DODSON close to the bottom: ----------------------------------------------------- The note on these records from Maury Co. Cousins Vol. 2 is: "These were found in boxes labeled "Appropriations" by the county court for burials and the like for paupers in the county." There are many pages of these records and I will try and post them as I get a chance to type them in. They include records of deaths, indigency, orphans, and include information on murders, unidentified bodies, etc. I am keeping the spelling the same, so know that [most] typos are how it originally appeared. p.265 PAUPER COFFINS ALLEN, Miss., court paid Lamb & Boyd for coffin furnished on 2 March 1863.

CHANDLER, child, court paid for certain articles which "were furnished for the burial of Mrs. Mary Chandler's child, and that she is a pauper." 1860. WADE, Elizabeth, pauper, coffin made by James Hudspeth in Oct. 1857. WHITE, Joseph, certain articles furnished on 10 Aug. 1860 "for his burial and he was an extreme pauper."

EDGIN, Samuel, tells court "he is infirm, old and helpless and upon the point of suffering for the common necessaries of life. He is unable to work and has no one to work for him...." Entered in court minutes 4 July 1859. CRAWFORD, Mrs. Sarah, "wishes an allowance of $20 being destitute of nearly everything to eat and wear. She is the widow of Col. Samuel Crawford who fought well for his country." July 1859. JACK, "The children of Bob Jacks, one two and the other three years old, ask $50 for a year's support..." July 1859.

Hope this helps some Dodson cousin..... _R_i_c_h_a_r_d_ rbrooksa@pacifier.com ---------------------------------------------- If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? ----------------------------------------------

I am also researching Dodson, Durham, and Smoot, but where does the name Gilbert come in? Thanks for the information on the Ships list, I will be looking through it. I'll let you know if I find anything. Brenda LNGHNTR33@aol.com

Greetings all, Someone just sent me this address: http://www.primenet.com/~langford/ships/shpnamed.htm Langford lists most of the ships he has been able to find which sailed from England to VA ca 1620-I don't know when. The index lists the ships, you tab onto the ships and where available, you can read the list of passenger names. I haven't had time to scroll through every ship listed, but if someone has the time we're looking for Dodson, Durham, Gilbert, Smoot and the like! Let me know if you find something interesting, I'll be going through it later in the week! Michelle Ule Robertule@aol.com Ukiah, CA
