Robert, I hesitate to get into this discussion but for what it is worth about a year ago I went down the same path. After much research, time & money I have concluded that this is a great story but only that. There was no John Dodson at Williamsburg. There was a John Dodds who was a member of original John Smith Party and is so listed on all the records. John married a lady named Jane who probably came off one of the bride ships. I have commissioned a Professor who has written several articles on the bride ships, to try and find Jane's history and the records of John's marriage. He is traveling to London for the summer and will report back to me in the fall. He will also look for Charles Dodson. In the records of the Jamestown Company there is only one record of permission being given to a member of the Company to mary a Native American and we all know that story. There is no record of other Native Americans traveling to the VA area during this time period and The Chief in the story was from Colorado. I still have an interest in the John Dodds story and will continue to research it. Diana Stallings the James Town Historian has been most helpful but unfortunately they know very little about most of the members of the Company. The summer performers at Jamestown do have an actor who plays the role of John Dodds and we know that he and Jane were survivors and lived out their lives in the area acquiring land leaving heirs. Beyond that who knows? I must say that I learned a quick and valuable research lesson when I first went down the path that this story leads and the members of the list brought me back to reality in good order. For that I am very grateful and I think it speaks well for the integrity of the individuals who use this service. Good luck. Col. John W. Mayhew. Annapolis, MD jmayhew050@aol.com
