I am particulary interested since I am a DoTson, and this line seems to have changed the Dodson to Dotson (before the Tennessee Dodson/Dotsons). In Egles PA notes, I found a record of the baptism of 3 of the children of Thomas and Mary Prigg Dodson, and the name of the father and children are shown as Dotson. I have found the DAR record of Thomas m Mary Prigg (same family), but they lump the Dodson/Dotson name together also in their groupings. Any help out there?
