The Dodsons of North Farnham Parish have a Fortunatus Dodson on page 137, born ca 1771 in Virginia. He married Frances Hanks, daughter of Moses and Agatha Dodson Hanks on 23 Sept 1793 in Halifax County. (I descend from these two). Unfortunately, the list of children is only of sons and there is no Sarah, though the authors concede they do not believe they have a completely list of the children. "Perhaps an in depth study of the records of Maury, Cop, TN and the counties of the Jackson Purchase area of KY would yield some information. Wayne Co, TN has had a substantial loss of records but should be checked also for an possibilities". A Forton Dotson was on the tax list of Maury county in 1811 and the authors of the books link him to the above Fortunatus. The Hanks family, of course, had moved en masse to Maury County, TN from Pulaski Co. Ky (1790s) from Halifax County, VA early in the nineteenth century. The section goes on to explain Fortuntus Dodston was enumerated in the 1820 Maury Co. census as follows: 3 males under 10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male over 45; 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 16-26, 1 female over 45. There's room here for your Sarah! Good luck, Michelle Ule Robertule@aol.com Ukiah, CA
