Ralph was buried somewhere in Pittsylvania Co., probably without an inscribed stone. There is an 1834 parish church record notation that he was buried locally, his burial expenses paid by the Poor House. Another old document says he was found dead 12 Aug 1833. After researching Dodsons for 30 years this is all I can tell you about him. I cannot confirm who his father was nor do I know the parents of Elizabeth Bennett. I wish you luck.
