Might be worth getting a copy of the death certificate to check it out.

I just subscribed to the Dodson email list. I also posted a sort of long post already. Eleanor sent me an email saying: ">>> Searching DODSON - PA. ---- Cambria County - Blair County >> DODSON - ASHCRAFT - WELLS - BELL If this also your area - pleas reply and I can send more info and/or you can send info that I can possibly fill in or advise not our line.

Feel free to email me or post to the list. I'll read it either way. DeeDee

Bonnie, My mother gets interested but doesn't pay attention until I can't wait to tell he a new story I found and she says Oh, that I knew that already. Then why didn't you tell me earlier! Keep digging. If you keep finding stories your relatives may want to tell you the details they remember. Its the little things that trigger the memories. don't get discouraged. Jo Ann Bonnie Arnold <[email protected]> wrote: This is such good advice I had to write and say "thank you" for posting it. I long to find old stories of my family line but for some reason I can't seem to find any of them. I have tried to speak to family members and they just claim they don't remember anything at all. But the stories is what makes it so interesting. If anyone can point me in some new direction as to where to locate these old stories please let me know. I use to sit and ask my grandfathers to tell me stories about when they were kids but I always got the same story everytime. But I still enjoyed hearing it and watching their expressions while telling it. Now everyone has long passed and distant relatives are calling me wanting to know if I knew any of the old stories, which I can only tell the 2 or 3 that I know. My children doesn't appreciate my love of this hobby either but hopefully I have an upcoming grandson who will take it up when I am long gone. He does ask me questions and wants to help with my scrapbooking and genealogy when he is here and he is only 9yrs old now so hopefully he won't lose the love for it when he gets older. Thanks for listening to me and all advice will be greatly appreciated. My ancestors are Corp johnathon James Dodson Jr. and Mary Ashcraft, Abisha Dodson Sr and Mary Walker, Robert Dodson and Mary (nee Sugg) Dodson Bloch/Block.

I like you found the marriage for John M. "Jack" Nally and Martha Dodson on microfilm. I did not yet research the Canter marriage from film or the children. It is very hard for me in this small town to get access to a viewer and film. So I very much appreciate your sharing. I noticed that you did not have Lucinda/Lucille Canter's baptism. or her marriage record to William Henry Dodson. Or Martha Dodson's baptism. I wonder if I wrote to St. Rose if they would look in there files? I like you think that Martha Dodson Nally named her first son ( William Vincent Nally b.7/6/1881 ) after the 2 father's--her father William Dodson and his father Vincent Joseph Nally. Also, Wm Henry Dodson's mother was Martha and Lucinda/Lucille Canter had a sister named Martha. And they named their first child Martha M. Dodson. So this family seems to fit. Just wish I had more proof on Lucinda/Lucille being a child of Lenard and Sarah Canter and marring a Wm.H.Dodson. Thanks again, JoAnn

Note: date of Bond is after date of marriage. There always seems to be some discrepancy in dates. The St. Rose registry also shows children of Benedict Leonard Cantor & Sarah A.
