Thanks so much LaNelle. I am just now beginning to research this marriage. The Heralds/Harralds and Stuckeys I mentioned are my ancestors. I have been trying to find J. M. and Betty in the 1900 census with no luck. It's very possible that this man was related to those you mention. I have found a Dotson family in Attala Co. with a son named James M. H. Dotson. He would be about the right age to have married Betty who was born in 1868. Right now that's all I have to go on. Thanks again, Martha -----Original Message----- From: LaNelle Renfroe Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MSATTALA] Dotson Martha: My ancestors were William Riley Dodson and wife, Aurelia Kelly. We had relatives who spelled their name "Dotson", but mostly Dodson. They lived in the Plattsburg, Winston County, MS area; also, Attala and Leake Counties. Do not know if this information is helpful; if so, I can give you the complete ancestry dating back to the 1600s.
