That's as far back as I have definite documentation for, and the progenitor Thomas Dodson and Mary Prigg Dodson (Thomas born 1685 and Mary 1698). Several of their children appear to have migrated from Chester to Frederick Co., Md., and tracked to then Bedford County, Pa., as did some of the descendants. (Cumberland Co., Pa. was the parent county for Bedford). Bedford was parent county for several counties, Blair eventually being one of them. I've been told (not verified) that there were possibly three Dodson lines in Blair County. I would definitely be interested in hearing what you have on your line. I am also willing to share what I have. Linda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
