> Hello Jan, I have the DODSON Family History book published by Silas Emmett Lucas and found your family in that book. You have quite a bit of information below - what are you hoping to find, current family? My own Dodson family descends from the immigrant, Charles Dodson - my gg-grandfather was William S. Dodson who moved to Comanche County, TX in the mid 1800's - look forward to hearing from you.
