Help I am stuck. I have Dodson lineage back to James Jeremiah Dodson who came to the US in late 17th century along with his two brothers Elisha Simmon Dodson and John Paul Dodson. The brothers landed in Louisana and went there own ways one east one west and one north. James Jeremiah Dodson went north up the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Arkansas River and went up the Arkansas river to eastern Oklahoma. James Jeremiah Dodson married the daughter of an Osage Indian Chief (her name was Bright Star). James Jeremiah Dodson was later scalped by Bright Stars people for telling tribal secrets. Bright Star later took their two sons Newton Columbus Dodson and John Jeremiah Dodson and moved to Cambridge Massachusetts where she put them thru Havard University. The decendants lived in Ripley Co Missouri and later in Arkansas. If you see any resemblances to your research please contact me.
