C. DODSON and Lola P. HYDER, > dated 2 Feb. 1893 (yes, 1893) in White County, TN. > > Also, a J. C. DODSON & Mary Elizabeth AUSTIN married 3 Nov 1888; and a James > DODSON and Mary GREEN married 8 Oct 1887, in White County, TN. > > Have you found your John Samuel DODSON on the 1900 and 1910 Census records and, > if so, what age is listed for him?
