Dodson, born 12 Nov 1877, Fayette Co., Alabama married Jim Hayes. Mandy was the daughter of Wesley J. Dodson, b. 11 Feb 1841, Fayette Co., Alabama, died 23 Oct 1915, Lamar Co., Alabama. Wesley married 9 March 1865, Fayette Co., Sarah M. Foster. Mandy was the 6th of about 9 children. There is other information in this book on Mandy's ancestors if you think it is the right one. You didn't mention your grandfather's birthdate so I've nothing to compare to. Sue
