However, I appreciate your bringing forward a direct line from John Dods' (Dodson) and Amelia Dodson. Some do not believe that John's last name was indeed Dodson, recorded with the apostrophe, which was an old abbreviation for "son." Do you have more information about the lineage from Millie back to John? That would be appreciated. Denise (Dotson) Low Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
