Rick, Not sure if this will help, but I do know that some of my Dodsons moved on to MO from Wayne co KY. Check on the Wayne Co Ky Records (5 vol. set) by June Baldwin Bork. George & Martha Lockhart Dodson and some of their siblings came there from Patrick/Pittslyvania Co Va. One was Leonard Dodson. About 1828 George & Martha and other family members moved on to Boone Co In and eventually their children to IL. They had very large families. I do not have all their descendants recorded. I do know that some of George & Martha's children moved to Mo. Probably some of their cousins also. Good luck. If you make a connection please let me know. These Dodsons are listed in the Dodson FAmily of Northa Farnham Parish, Richmond Va. That is a 2 vol set which might give you further leads.
