My Dodson line is distant and short, and from the PA Dodson lines - Mary Dorothy Dodson, b 1817, Greenfield Twp., Bedford Co., PA, m Jacob Shaffer of Bedford Co. ca 1835, d 1902, Gallitzin, Cambria Co., PA - she was my ggg-gm. Joseph Seabrook Dodson, b 1792 near Gettysburg, PA, m Susan Conrad ca 1815, d in Greenfield Twp., Blair Co. (twp. formerly in Bedford Co.), buried in Newry, Blair Co., PA, St. Patrick's Cemetery. Evidently became Catholic when he married. Thomas Dodson, b in the eastern part of PA, m Molly Seabrook; both are probably buried in the Dodson family cemetery near East Freedom, Blair Co., PA, as there are adjacent stones marked T. and M., otherwise unknown. Previous generations questionable, as family info hasn't been proving out to me, so far. Thomas was most likely a brother or cousin of Michael Dodson of Greenfield Twp., son of John Dodson, as he moved to an area of Greenfield Twp. where Michael and his family lived. Would love to hear from any descendants of Joseph Seabrook Dodson. --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com
