Any thing I can find. Which branch went to Utah? What names? I will take anything you can share Sandi

Hello my name is Sandi Dotson Eblin and I am trying to find info on Lambeth Dodson [Sr. and Jr.] . My line descends from jr. to Charles to Reuben to George Wheeler to Reuben and Peter Dotson. Can anyone supply me with any thing on these people? Thanks

Karen-- You're right, the Smoots don't make any sense, yet that is what the IGI and ancestral files and everyone else has been printing for a long time. We have pretty much decided we're not related to the Smoots anyway (did I send you the Durham paper?), though there is some sort of connection as yet unfigured out. I'm probably confused on the William Hanks, my brain was beginning to go after typing in all that stuff! Sarah Durham was the niece of Mary Durham who married Thomas Dodson Sr.; the daughter of Mary's brother Thomas and Mary Smoot (how's that for confusion?!) Maybe someone else will correct me and then we'll know for sure! I've just looked through my Hanks stuff, and Luke Hanks married about 1719, so I think you're probably right, it probably was his NEPHEW William Hanks III who married Sarah Durham. Sorry for the confusion. Michelle Robertule@aol.com Ukiah, CA

Hi Michelle and All, <B. Smoot, Eleanor daughter of William and Frances Smoot, 27 April 1750> Since this can't be the same William as the one who was married to Jane, are the parents of William m. Frances known? <M. Durham, Sarah and William Hanks, 26 January 1738 (that's Luke Hanks' older brother)> I have William Hanks I m. Sarah Woodbridge William Hanks II m. Hester Mills (I have THIS one is Luke's older brother) William Hanks III m. Sarah Durham - Is this incorrect? Regards, Karen Trouvat

In Northern Arkansas at the cemeteries listed below I found the following Dodsons Oak Forest: 1911 Benjamin Dodson 1946, 1895 Melvin Dodson 1942. Friendship: 1874 Lewis N. Dodson (no date). Judy

Some time ago someone posted Lucy Thornton Dodson, and a Tennessee connection, I answered to the list, and never heard from this person. If you read this please answer again, Judy

Sorry if I have replied twice to your letter. My Benjamin Dodson had a wife Delia, pretty close to yours. Now for the Sutton, I have a connection to the Sutton family on my husbands White side of the family, all of these people lived in Randolph county Arkansas. does any of this make a connection for you.

Glenn, Steve and Dodsons, I believe I saw the North Farnham Parish Registers at the DAR Library in Honolulu. I have copies of the pages of Smoots and Durhams, (and Dodsons when I dig deeper in the box). They read as follows: B. (birth) Smoot, Mary daughter of William and Jane Smoot, 7 April 1693 B. Smoot, Anne, daughter of William and Jane Smoot, 16 March 1698 B. Smoot, Elizabeth daughter of William and Jane Smoot 16 March 1698 D (died) Jane Smoot 4 October 1726 B. Smoot, Eleanor daughter of William and Frances Smoot, 27 April 1750 B. Smoot, Sarah daughter of William and Frances Smoot, 23 April 1756 B. Smoot, Thomas son of william and Frances Smoot, 26 July 1753 B. Smoot, Ann daughter of william and Frances Smoot, 6 September 1761 B. Smoot, John son of William and Frances Smoot, 13 october 1764 B. Smoot, Betty daughter of William and Frances Smoot, 8 February 1771 That's it for Smoot, on to Durham: B. Durham, Mary daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Durham, 5 June 1686 B. Durham, Thomas son of Thomas and Dorothy Durham, 27 June 1690 B. Durham, John, son of Thomas and Dorothy Durham, 27 June 1690 D. Durham, John 23 September 1722 B.

Durham, Susanna daughter of Thomas and mary Durham, 14 May 1728 M. Durham, Margaret and Dominick Newgent, 2 December 1729 B. Durham, Wilmoth daughter of Thomas and Mary Durham, 21 May 1730 B. Durham, Katherine daughter of Thomas and Mary Durham, 18 March 1731 B. Durham, Millicent daughter of Thomas and Mary Durham, 4 August 1734 D. Durham, Willmoth 2 October 1734 D. Durham, Thomas 3 December 1734 M. Durham, Sarah and William Hanks, 26 January 1738 (that's Luke Hanks' older brother) B. Durham, Joshua son of John and Sarah Durham, 11 December 1748 B. Durham, Nelly daughter of John and Sarah Durham 13 March 1750 D. Durham, Mary 8 May 1750 B. Durham, Charnell son of John and Sarah Durham, 29 June 1753 That's it. It occurred to me the other day that if I found that book again, I'd look for Dorothy Durham's death under her second husband, Jeremiah Greenham, thus she would be listed as Dorothy Greenham at her death in these record books. I didn't look for any Roses and I'm not a Goad so I have no knowledge there. For those of you Dodsons puzzling over these Smoot and Durham names; Dorothy and William's daughter Mary married Thomas Dodson Sr. in 1710. You'll note that marriage is not mentioned here.

A Hanks researcher told me about this book. It should have lots of good information regarding the Dodson family and other interrelated families (Durham, Smoot, Rose, Goad, etc.) that also lived in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., VA.

I am looking for information on Millicent Dodson, born about 1770 in North Carolina. Many thanks. A. L. Stamps

Concerning Glenn Gohr's recent post on the children of Thomas "Second Fork" Dodson, I would love to have their dates too... And , just a reminder - I'm particularly interested in the daughter Winnifred who, with her sisters Alcie and Susannah, married Johnson brothers. I've not been able to find out who were the parents of these three Johnson boys... Regards to all, Karen Johnson-Trouvat

The deposition of Joseph Hanks taken on the bank of the Ohio River at John Dodson's Ferry in Breckenridge County on the eighth day of March, 1817, to be read as witness in a suit of chancery now pending in the Nelson County Circuit Court and undetermined where Zachariah Riney is complainant, and Jane Nevelt of the heirs of Joseph Nevelt, Mary Ann Compton and Charles Shanks for the heirs of Benedict Compton, defenders. This deponent, a full agent duly sworn deposeth and saith--That some time in the year 1799 in conversation with Joseph Nevelt concerning the title of a certain tract of land in Nelson County lying on the Rolling Fork about two miles above the mouth of Pottinger's Creek, which land was willed to him, this deponent, by his father Joseph Hanks and then in the possession of said Nevelt, he, this deponent heard Nevelt say that the title of Barnet was not good, but he expected probably he could obtain it but with great difficulty as Barnet had died solvent. This deponent states that the said Nevelt about two years after came to him to purchase his right of the said land and he, this deponent, sold him his good will of it for an old chunk of a horse that would of traded for about fifteen dollars; and further this deponent saith not.

From the book: Barton, William E. THE LINEAGE OF LINCOLN. Indianapolis, IN: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1929. 419 pp. This book is available on interlibrary loan and in a number of different libraries. It is usually not considered a genealogy book- -but more of a history book--so it probably can even be checked out and taken home! I know it is available locally at the Central Bible College Library, 3000 N. Grant, Springfield, MO 65803. Of interest to many of our Hanks/Dodson/Neville & allied researchers is mention of some of the following names: William Smoote (Sr.?), William and Jane Smoote, Mary (Smoote) Durham, Thomas Durham, John Durham, Joseph Durham (son of Thomas & Mary Smoote Durham), Margaret Durham (dau. of Thomas & Mary Smoote Durham), Sarah (Durham) Hanks (dau. of Thomas & Mary Smoote Durham), Henry Hill, Mary Ann Hill, Joseph Chinn, Thomas Chinn, Edwin L. Dodson, John Dodson, Eleanor (Hanks) Dodson, Andrew Wodrow, also quite a few references to the various Lee families of Virginia (as Barton says they are kin to Nancy Hanks Lincoln), and a Jane Nevelt, Joseph Nevelt, Robert Nevelt, Col. John Nevil, and a William Newell. Sincerely, Glenn Gohr (Hanks & Neville List Manager) ggohr01@mail.orion.org

Rob & Heather & All: According to the 2 vol. book by Williams & Lucas, pp. 34-38, 2nd Fork Thomas Dodson's children are listed thus: 1) Ida or Ioda Dodson (no further info. available)--dau. of 1st wife 2) George Dodson (no further info. available)--son of 1st wife. Lucas & Williams point out that the Rev. Elias Dodson manuscript makes mention of the 2 children by the first wife, but it is unclear who she was. Supposedly 2nd Fork Thomas was married first to a daughter of "Lame George Dodson." The only "Lame George Dodson" that can be found is a brother of 2nd Fork Thomas. Surely 2nd Fork Thomas would not have married his own niece. Either Rev. Elias Dodson has his information confused or else a different George Dodson was involved. Current family members are wondering whether 2nd Fork Thomas even had a first wife, as he would have been quite young. As a note--my ancestor, Agatha (or Aggatha) Dodson who married Moses Hanks, was born Dec. 1749 in VA. She seems to have been the oldest child of 2nd Fork Thomas Dodson and wife Mary Neville. 2nd Fork Thomas would have been 21 years old at her birth. It's possible he had these 2 children above born before Agatha, but he would have been quite young. The children by Mary Neville as listed by Lucas and Williams are: 1) Thomas Jeremiah Dodson, b. VA (in the 1770s) 2) Jesse Dodson, b. VA (in the 1770s) 3) Frances "Fanny" (Dodson) Dodson md. Thomas Dodson, son of Joseph. 4) Agatha or Agatha (Dodson) Hanks, b. Dec. 1749 in VA md. Moses Hanks 5) Elizabeth "Betty" (Dodson) Dodson md. David Dodson son of George & Margaret (Dagord) Dodson 6) Rhoda (Dodson) Hittson md. Alexander Hittson 7) Winifred "Winney" (Dodson) Johnson md. William Johnson 8) Alice "Alcy" (Dodson) Johnson md. Stephen Johnson 9) Susannah (Dodson) Johnson md. James Johnson 10) Samuel Dodson md. possibly to Polly King 11) William Dodson, d. 22 Dec. 1809 unmarried 12) James Dodson Now, in looking all this info. over again, I see a very interesting deed from March 23, 1811 in Hawkins Co., TN where 2nd Fork Thomas Dodson makes deed of gift to most of his children regarding his interest in the estate of his deceased son, William Dodson. This is mentioned more fully on p. 37 of the 2-vol. Dodson book. This may be the last mention we have of 2nd Fork Thomas being alive. In a deed on 25 March 1816 he is referred to as "Thomas Dodson, dec'd." I also notice quite interesting that no dates of birth are given for any of the above 14 children of 2ndd Fork Thomas--only my Agatha (Dodson) Hanks has a year of birth given. Many of the others are stated to have been born in the 1770s--this would be almost 20 yrs. after my Agatha was born. Either the supposed dates are wrong on these children as given in the Dodson book or at the very least they are given in the wrong order of birth. Does anyone have estimated dates of birth for any others of the children of 2nd Fork Thomas Dodson?

Help! Dear Friends, Does anyone have access to the 1870 and/or 1880 census for Fulton County and/or Myatt County Arkansas? I have just recently found out that Green seems to be my gggrandfathers middle name. He married a MARY PORTER sometimne between 1860 and 1863 and was supposedly residing in Southfork Township, near Saddle and French on Southfork River. In 1850 and 1860 census he is listed with a wife Nancy and children Enos, William, John, Elizabeth. Then they disappear and he turns up on 1890 census with wife MAry and children James and Janie. ANy help or information would be greatly appreciated!!! Been stuck on this man for over a year now. Thanks again Rochelle L. Dotson
