Here is info. as stated in Mrs. C. T. Dodson's book, but like Rev. S. E. Lucas, Jr. and so many others, I have real doubts about the PROOF shown here. Just because someone joined a lineage organization and was accepted does NOT mean it is absolute proof. Original source materials (court records, family Bibles, etc.--not just someone's word--even if it is in a book or on a CD--gg Here follows some of the source materials and documents cited in the following book: Ancestors of Robert Dodson and His Descendants. Written by Mrs. C. T. Dodson; Illustrated by Miss Oneida Uzzell. Privately published, {1964?] (Note: This book is 115 p. and is located in the Dallas Public Library, Dallas, TX, call # R929.2 D647d) Information from that book was quoted by me in two earlier posts to the Dodson List. Here follows information on records to get into Daughters of the Colonists by Lillian E.
