Norma, I am descended from this Dotson line....let me apologize for them...its not just you. I have contacted many of the descendants of this line over the years. There are a few of them that are "not so nice"and sometimes downright rude...but not all of us :o) ! I do know that some of the Dotson/Raynor group in Mo., I'm still trying to find all of them....a very fruitful group they were! Maybe with the new list we can sort all of this out together.....and hopefully one day find that connection.
