Johnson) Reply-to: TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com To: TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com Hi Guys, this DODSON is not my family, but have a little info. from the Book "The DODSON (DOTSON) Family of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia: A history and genealogy of their descendents" In Vol I p. 37: "On March 23, 1811, Hawkins Co., TN (deed 6-475), Thomas (x) Dodson made a deed of gift to his children of all his interest in the estate of his son, William Dodson, to whom he became 'heir-at-law' at the son's death. He named his children as William Johnson, james Johnson, Stephen Johnson, Jesse Dodson and Samuel dodson to whom he relinquished his claim on the estate and allotted to each of them $100. The remainder of the estate was to be divided equally between William, james and Stephen Johnson, Rhodar Hittson, James Dodson, jesse and Samuel Dodson, and additionally to Samuel Dodson, one lot in the town of Pulaski for his special services (apparently as administrator of the estate). Lot #25 was obviously in the town of Somerset, Pulaski Co.KY." On p. 36 (same book): "Winifred Dodson (Johnson) - Winney married William Johnson, Probably in Hawkins Co. TN. They resided in the Hawkins/Grainger Co. Area. Rev. Elias Dodson and his mother visited them in 1831. Their descendants have not been traced." "Alice Dodson (Johnson) - Alcy married Stephen Johnson, probably in Hawikins Co.TN. The Rev. Elias Dodson said she married Jerry (Jeremiah) Johnson, but this is an error on his part. The distribution of the Thomas Dodson estate named William, james, and Stephen Johnson as his heirs. This is further substantiated by Johnson family history. Their children have not been traced." Hope this helps someone.

Hey guys, I live only about 30 miles from Poplar Bluff so thought I'd clarify something for ya. While to some it might be close to St. Louis to all of us who live near it is considered to be in Southeast MO. We are actually about 3 1/2 hours from St. Louis. Just thought I'd throw that in. :-) Cathy

Judy... The Oliver Dodson who died last week was my great- uncle - His sister, Minnie Pearl Dodson, was my paternal grandmother. Poplar Bluff, MO is near St. Louis and as far as I know none of "my" Dodsons were ever there - or in Arkansas, but who knows??? I too have seen a lot of the "Columbus" name pop up throughout the Dodsons and related families. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

Charles Oliver Dodson died on March 26, 1998 in Orange County, CA. He was born in Howard County, MO in May 1907 to Charles Columbus Dodson and Annie Morton Dodson. His siblings were: Robert Dodson, Earl Dodson and Minnie Pearl Dodson - all preceded him in death. He married Elizabeth Little and she preceded him in death.

Do you know anything on the line you submitted or was it something you found. The fact that this family was from Missouri and Charles Columbus Dodson. We have been finding Columbus spring up with our Holts and Whites. I am looking for a Benjamin Franklin Dodson. I know at one time he was around Popular Bluffs, Mo. He was also living in Randolph county Arkansas in 1932. any and all help needed. Judy

The only Lambeth Dodson I have any info on was the son of Charles and Anne Dodson. He was born 1689 Richmond Co., VA and he married Sarah Harris. Hope this helps, Rene

I'm looking for information on my 3rd ggrandmother, SUSANNA DODSON, who was born in 1826. She married ANDREW J. BOYD, who was born in 1816. Family oral tradition has it that Susanna and Andrew may originally have been from Maryland. They spent some time in Belmont County, Ohio and then came to Northern Indiana where Andrew died on July 25, 1855. They had at least one child, my 2nd ggrandmother,CORNELIA BOYD, who married WILLIAM A. TOWNS. After Andrew's death, Susanna married ROBERT TOWNS. SUSANNA DODSON BOYD TOWNS died near Etna Green, Indiana on October 1, 1866. If anybody has any information on any of these folks please let me know. Best regards, Brian Hoffer

Hi Dana, McEwin cousin! What surnames are you lookin for? Cheryl Elizabethtown, Ky. My Surnames: ADAMS (both John and Nelson) / DOTSON (and var)/ BELLAR / WILSON / HOOPER / WILLEY

So I am right in assuming that Lambeth is correct? Do you have a birth date even estimated for him? Thanks Sandi Dotson Eblin
