I have several books on Rhea county, Tn and I did find some info on the Dodson family. There is a bio of the William Matlock family who was born in 1795 who married Sarah Dodson, daughter of the Rev. Jesse and Ruth (Dodson) Dodson. This family moved to McMinn Co and they are buried in the Old Eastanalee Cemetery. There is a William Dodson in the 1870 census and 1880 census. There is also a marriage of Samuel Dotson to Kelly Kissiah, 1 Nov 1858 (11 Nov), A.D. Paul JP, 1-#665. There is also 3 marriages for a William Dodson to Catharine Thompson, Nancy Teeters, and Mry Culverhouse. If any of this looks familiar, let me know and I will give you all the info I have.
