Bill - and other Dodson cousins: The family of Thomas and Polly Dodson were in Grainger Co., TN in 1800-1806 and in 1817, purchased 200 acres of land on the Clinch River in Grainger Co. He sold this land to Thomas Nash, who was the father of Frances. Later they were possibly in Marion Co., TN, then Rhea Co., TN. I have practically no data on Frances Nash. I have b. 1804 in VA, d. 1850-1858, no place names. She possibly had a brother named Marvel Nash. No name of mother. Samuel W. Dotson and Frances Nash had 12 children, b. TN. They were on the 1850 Rhea Co., TN census, but they were also in White Co. Anyone else have a connection to Samuel W. and Frances? Their children were Nathaniel, Abner, William F., Mary, Thomas Henry, Nancy Jane, Emeline, Eliza, Margaret, George W., Amanda Caroline, and Zachariah Taylor. Thanks, Barbara
