Cousins, Please keep in mind that there were 2 Hightower Dodsons: the first a son of Greenham and Elinor [Hightower] Dodson; the other a nephew of the first - and son of Thomas (Greenham?) and Sarah "Sallie" [Dodson] Dodson. The son of Greenham was born circa 1751 and did not live to be 126 years old. The younger Hightower born c1788, married (1) Sallie Dodson on 4 July 1807 in Williamson Co., TN, and (2) Sarah 'Sallie" Hanks. The second marriage being 25 June 1832 in Maury Co., TN, it is safe to assume that wife #1, Sallie Dodson Dodson died before that date. My connection to Hightower is through his daughter, Deniah H. Dodson, born 30 April 1809 in Maury Co., TN. She married Whitmell Leigh in Maury 11 June 1831. Hightower sold land to Whitmell in June 1833 and before moving to Fayette County, IL, Whitmell and Deniah sold the land to her brothers Beverly P. Dodson and Raleigh W. Dodson. Whitmell and Deniah's first child was James Hightower Leigh. The elder Hightower Dodson does not appear in Tennessee. He seems to have gone to SC via Nash Co, and Montgomery Co., NC. The 1790 Census suggests possibly at least one son and perhaps seven or more daughters. The younger Hightower and Sallie Dodson Dodson, also had more children that we can identify at this time. Any help finding the others will be greatly appreciated.
