Julie-- A lot of your questions about the John Dods at Jamestown, as well as the bad news on Durhams, Hunts and Smoots, can be found at Alley's web site. Unfortunately I can't find her address, but since she's the Dodson list owner, I'm sure she'll jump in with it any moment! Your observation is correct, it's too romantic for it's own good!
