Have you ever been in contact with Marge Dodson Lingenfelter or Frannie Schragen-Petras? Both of them have lots of research. Marge is connected to the ones who were in Cambria Co. I believe her ancestor was William, one of the brothers of Michael and John (I think I have that straight). My Thomas was in Bedford Co., Greenfield Twp. near Michael and his family in the 1800 census. I don't remember if I looked for him in 1790 or not, but he probably would have been in the area of Gettysburg then. His wife was supposed to have been Molly Seabrook, and his son was Joseph Seabrook Dodson, b ca 1792 in Chambersburg or Gettysburg (I've seen it both ways). Thomas (and Joseph later, listed as "of Thomas") were in the tax records for Greenfield Twp. A couple of Joseph's daughters married Lingenfelters. His oldest daughter was my ggg-gm, Dorothy, who married Jacob Shaffer, whose family was in Bedford Co. I ! have a big file on Dodsons, but haven't done much with it in the last couple of years.
