Dodson-5288 and Dodson-2192 appear to represent the same person because: Both men are Thomas Dodson born on the same date, both born in Virginia. Both men have the same father. The only difference is the year of death. Thomas Dodson-2192 is sourced with census data and Find A Grave with photo of tombstone. The only source for death of Thomas Dodson-5288 is "Obituary of Thomas Dodson" with no source for obituary location. Thomas Dodson-2192 is the father of George C. Dodson. George Dodson appears in the 1850 Federal census in the household next to Thomas Dodson-2192. These men are duplicates.

Dodson-4799 and Dodson-2192 appear to represent the same person because: Both men have the same birth dates and both born in Virginia. Both are married to the same woman and both men died on the same date and same place. They are obvious duplicates and need to be merged to eliminate duplication.
