Can you tell me where you got that information? Thanks, Michelle Ule Robertule@aol.com Ukiah, CA >> John Dods is listed as a labouror in the original 105 settlers of Jamestown with Capt. John Smith, and also a soldier in expeditions against the Indians. The Tax List of James City 16 Feb. 1623 lists John Dods and Mrs. Dods as living at the Neck of Land near James City, now Chesterfield, Va. in 1627. John Dods was born in England 1588 and came to Jamestown in 1607 at the age of 18 years. John married the Indian maiden Jane, daughter of Chief Eagle Plume of Colorado, of the Iroquois Indian Nation, and became the parents of William and Jesse Dodson. Jesse and William took brides from the Bride Ships about 1630. This gives some early background of the first of this line to enter the American Colonies. {"Marsh and Related Families "p. 55}
