Johnson) Reply-to: TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com To: TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com Hi Guys, this DODSON is not my family, but have a little info. from the Book "The DODSON (DOTSON) Family of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia: A history and genealogy of their descendents" In Vol I p. 37: "On March 23, 1811, Hawkins Co., TN (deed 6-475), Thomas (x) Dodson made a deed of gift to his children of all his interest in the estate of his son, William Dodson, to whom he became 'heir-at-law' at the son's death. He named his children as William Johnson, james Johnson, Stephen Johnson, Jesse Dodson and Samuel dodson to whom he relinquished his claim on the estate and allotted to each of them $100. The remainder of the estate was to be divided equally between William, james and Stephen Johnson, Rhodar Hittson, James Dodson, jesse and Samuel Dodson, and additionally to Samuel Dodson, one lot in the town of Pulaski for his special services (apparently as administrator of the estate). Lot #25 was obviously in the town of Somerset, Pulaski Co.KY." On p. 36 (same book): "Winifred Dodson (Johnson) - Winney married William Johnson, Probably in Hawkins Co. TN. They resided in the Hawkins/Grainger Co. Area. Rev. Elias Dodson and his mother visited them in 1831. Their descendants have not been traced." "Alice Dodson (Johnson) - Alcy married Stephen Johnson, probably in Hawikins Co.TN. The Rev. Elias Dodson said she married Jerry (Jeremiah) Johnson, but this is an error on his part. The distribution of the Thomas Dodson estate named William, james, and Stephen Johnson as his heirs. This is further substantiated by Johnson family history. Their children have not been traced." Hope this helps someone.
