Thought I'd try to muddy the water! Hi, Lynne, I have in my family a Walter Lee DO(T,D)SON , borne in Humphreys or Dickson County Tn. Mar 24, 1884 d: Jly 3, 1957. He was the brother to my Grandfather , Auster DOTSON. Walter moved to Texas and never returned to TN. They didn't have a bro. named William to my knowledge. BUT, they had Cherokee blood...just haven't found the PROOF yet! That's my 2 cents worth! Thanks for your time!
