Peggy & all, Congratulations on your success in getting your line documented on the Samples and Dodsons with DAR. I descend from Rev. Thomas Dodson who married Elizabeth Rose (he also is a Rev. War patriot). I sent in a supplemental application on him for the Sons of the Am. Revolution. I also have a supplemental through his son, Second Fork Thomas Dodson who married Mary Neville. I've recently gotten some new info. on the Rose connection. Also there is some discussion going on the Durham line which MAY tie in to the Smoots of MD & VA. That was posted on the Dodson list earlier and Alley Blackford has put the Durham-Smoot info. on her webpage along with some other early Dodson puzzles and questions. Her webpage (quite well done) is located at: http://pages.prodigy.net/wchs Now you mentioned a DAR application of Elizabeth Fuller Sloan. I think she must be the daughter or a close relative of Frank Fuller who was an early Dodson historian. He is supposed to have compiled a book on the Dodsons before 1960. Does anyone have a copy of this book?? Also you mention a book: "Genealogy of Charles Dodson of Southwest Virginia" by W.H Dodson Do you have this book? When was it published? How many pages is it? How could I obtain a copy? Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Glenn Gohr ggohr01@mail.orion.org
