Author: nreble37 Surnames: Dodson, Thompson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dodson/1908.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am also a relative of Gaimon M Dodson 1809 Halifax VA. He evidently had a son named John who named his son Ganum Emery Dodson. My father was also Ganam Emery Dodson II and my brother is Ganam Emery Dodson III. I have hit brick walls going back before 1809 and his marriage to Nancy P. Thompson. No info on Nancy P. Thompson's family either. Have you learned anything new since you wrote the query to Ancestry? I have about 6 different spellings of Gaimon, Garnum, Ganum, Gaymon, all middle initials were M (for Emery or Emory per family history). I, my sister and brother all have DNA testing done through ancestry. Thomas Dodson relatives seem to come up most under Dodson and DNA. My cousin said John's father was called Green.
