I now have the 2 volume set of the Williams/Lucas book, the Thompson Ege book on the PA Dodsons and Jim Dotson's book on the descendants of Richard Dotson. However, I am still unable to connect up my "Dangling Dotson", Richard born 10/23/1752 in Shenandoah Co VA. He is referenced in the Lucas book as a dangler; he might be a descendant of Michael son of Thomas m. Mary Prigg (no conclusive evidence); and the Jim Dotson book is composed of his descendants along with suppositions about his possible ancestors--but again, no verification. Does anyone know of any other Dodson/Dotson books available for purchase (referencing pre-1800 Dodson/Dotsons), -or- web-sites that might have information? Any help would be appreciated, Betty
