Biography

Research Notes

OFTEN CONFUSED with the John Dodson, Sr. of Charles County, Maryland who married Leticia and died by 1735. However, this person's son, John Jr. was still alive in 1773 when he was named in the will of his brother, Walter.

Was the father of John Dodson (d. 1736 Calvert Co., MD) actually named John and/or actually ever in colonial Maryland?

Is this the same person?: 1664 Talbot county MD Court - John Dodson acknowledges debt to Wm Elliott of Kent County, MD.
