I notice that there are a lot of Elisha Dodson's mentioned, but has anyone found an Elija Dotson? He married an Emiily Stiles from Indiana. Elija was born in 1836 in Kentucky and Emily was born in 1838. Their children and their birthdates are as follows: William Dotson -- 1859 in Indiana Mary Dotson -- 1862 in Indiana Ella Dotson -- 1865 in Indiana James Coleman Dotson -- 1867 in Indiana ( My G-G-Grandfather) Alva Dotson -- 1871 in Indiana (a Twin) Christina Dotson -- 1871 in Indiana (a Twin) If anyone can help me out, please get back to me. I got all of this information off a census dated June 28, 1880 in the County of Fountain, Town of Richland and I am assuming that it is in the State of Indiana since there is not one listed.
