Died in Titus County, Texas in 1862. He had 11 kids between two wives. Of those 11 kids, there was an Elizabeth (born 1833), Ada (born in 1839 and Charles Thomas (Doc) Dodson was born in 1849. Of the 11 kids, Joel Franklin Dodson born in 1852 in Alabama is my ggg grandfather. Does this help any? I have hit a brick wall looking for Joel's grandfather who I think is Charles Dodson of Sumner County, Tenn. Would like to see any photos you may have.
