    3. DODSON, TIMOTHY I am new to this chat line and have read all your questions and I feel some of the people you are asking about connect to me but I don't yet know how. I don't know if it's permitted to send such a long email and if it would be helpful to others but I would like to share my line and if some one is researching any of the children of Timothy Dodson , I would appreciate the information. I established the TIMOTHY DODSON SAMPLE line first and have DAR membership on that line. Next I began the supplements and established the JOHN BUCHANAN line and the GEORGE RIDLEY LINE and now the TIMOTHY DODSON line. My research was in Nashville, Tenn. at the State Archives. They all lived there near each other. My line of DODSON'S starts with TIMOTHY DODSON, born Oct. 14, 1778 in Halifax Co., VA. In 1803 he married Agnes Wilson in Halifax Co. They moved to Nashville Tenn., Davidson Co. in 1808. They had 13 children: LUCY THORNTON DODSON born Oct. 6, 1806 and married THOMAS BETTS Sample on April 27, 1825. Lucy and Thomas were my great great grand parents. Other children were JEFFERSON DODSON, JULIA DODSON married Bird Fitzgerald, THOMAS DODSON, ELIZABETH DODSON married J. W. Pennington, TIMOTHY DODSON, MARY DODSON married George Ridley, JOSEPH DODSON married Mattie Curd, LOUISA B. DODSON, SARAH ANN DODSON AND CALEB DODSON, and WILLIAM DODSON married Elizabeth Ann Curd. There are DAR paper filed by Elizabeth Fuller Sloan who lived in Jonesboro, Ark. Her line is through Joseph Dodson, son of Timothy Dodson. Timothy Dodson was the son of CALEB DODSON born 1752 in Fauquier Co. Va. and Elizabeth Petty . They had 10 children. WILLIAM THORNON DODSON came to Tennessee with his brother Timothy. William married a Sally Young in Halifax, Co., VA. She was the daughter of Josiah Young and his wife Elizabeth Ferrell. One of Caleb's brothers, Joseph also came to Tennessee and had a large family. I don't much about those children. CALEB was the son of JOSEPH DODSON born Feb. 21, 1725 in Richmond Co. VA., and Joseph was the son of REV. THOMAS DODSON, JR., and his father was THOMAS DODSON SR. whose father was CHARLES DODSON Sr? I have proof to Caleb Dodson. the rest of the line was found in the "Genology of Charles Dodson of Southwest Virginia" by W.H Dodson. Peggy Sample Reen email address explorer@pop.nlci.com
