I am interested in the Dodson Family that lived in Frederick Co. Md. before 1792. The Dodson family I am connected with left Maryland about 1792 and moved to Bedford Co. Pa. In Dec. 1775 there is a John Dodson listed as a Associator in Frederick Co. Md. In 1778 there is a John Dodson listed in Frederick Co. as a Juror to the oath of allegeance. John Dodson was listed in the 1800 census of Bedford Co. Pa. as over 45 years old. In 1814 tax list John was listed as 57 years old. If the age in the tax list is accurate he must have been at least 59 when he died. John Dodson died in Bedford Co. in 1816. Some have tried to connect this family with Charles Dodson in Maryland but I do not believe there is enough proof to make that a fact. John's brothers were Thomas born in about 1741, Michael born about 1751, Joseph about 1766. I am looking for new clues to trace this family better in Maryland. Muriel
