Does anyone have more information about this Dodson Family? Roane Co (WV) Family History book, page 138: "Legend has it that the Lewis County (WV) Dodson family descended from one of two brothers who were British soldiers during the American Revolution. They saw the great valley of Virginia, fell in love with its beauty, and resolved that this would be their permanent home. After the war they returned to England, but immediately returned to the Shenandoah. We cannot prove or disprove the legend, but in any event it appears that Joseph Dodson was born in the Shenandoah Valley September 5, 1814 and died in Lewis County February 17 1868: he may have been the son (or grandson) of one of the British soldiers. We find no evidence that Joseph's father ever lived in present day West Virginia." "Joseph married Priscilla Hensley (born 1827) and their first child, Mary E. Dodson was born in 1844. Shortly after the birth of their daughter Joseph and Priscilla moved to Ohio, along with his mother, Elizabeth (born in Pennsylvania in 1781) where their second child, Charles E Dodson was born in 1846. The remaining Dodson children, seven in all, were born in Lewis County (WV)". Children were Louisa C b 1850; Elmer Hensley b. 1852; Jacob C b 1854; Albertus N b. 1857; Hartman N E b. 1860; Elsworth A b 1864; and Porter F b. 1866
