Hi Clarence, I relate to the Dodd's in many ways but I have never worked their line. Let me ask a question, are there two Griffin Dodds? The Griffin Dodd that I have was born in Chatham Co NC about 1802 and married to Nancy. Many have her last name as Gilmore. He moved to Henderson County prior to 1830. His sister, Dicy Dodd, married my gggrandfather, Jeremiah Johnson. They had two children Nancy E and J.L Johnson. Dicy was present at he birth of my grandfather, William Campbell Johnson, on 7/26/1861. Jeremiah died before 1870 as Dicy is living with her brother and Nancy in Henderson County in 1870. I think I have more information but I would like to be sure we are talking about the same people. Everybody with the same name is confusing. Bill
