I just joined this list and have enjoyed reading all your postings. You all seem to be a friendly bunch. I have only two census records for my Dodson ancestor. Was hoping someone out there might recognize these: 1870/Coryelle County, Texas: Dodson, George age 21(?) born Kentucky Martha 21 Louisiana Amanda 7months Texas Dodson, Ben 29 Missouri Isabella 20 Texas Rachel 1 Texas Dodson, George 22 Alabama Fanny 19 Missouri Chambers, James 30 Louisiana Mary (maiden name Dodson) 30 Missouri These families were all enumerated together. In 1880 Census James Chambers and his wife Mary Dodson were alone in Brown County, Texas. James is listed as full blood Indian and Mary as "White". The family story is of James and Mary being murdered for their land shortly after 1880. Susan
