Thomas D. Dodson, the other of the three brothers, saw service as a minute man of the Revolutionary war. His place of settlement in Wayne County was on what is now known as Rolly Creek, a tributary to Sinking Creek. Here he reared a large family, six sons, named George Teaman, John, Jesse, James, Rollo C. and Leonard, and five girls: Mrs. John Robinson, who settled at Danville, Indiana; Mrs. Thompson, who also went to Danville; Mrs. Rheuben Sloan, Mrs. I. Burnett and Mrs. Mathew Denney, all of whom remained in Wayne County.

The two oldest sons, George Teaman and John, were volunteers in the War of 1812 and riflemen in the Battle of New Orleans. From Kentucky they settled at Marion, Missouri. When John left Kentucky for Missouri he had a family of ten boys. The oldest of these, Ishmael, graduated from the Kirksville Normal School of Missouri, became a Confederate colonel in a Texas Regiment in the Civil war, and was one of the framers of the Texas Constitution.

George Teaman left two boys in Wayne County, James and Josiah Dodson, Josiah settling on what is known as Dry Fork of Sinking Creek, and his sons were Andrew, George, Aaron and Thomas. James Dodson, the other son of George Teaman, married Manervia Tuttle, settled on Fall Creek, and reared a family of four boys and six girls, the boys being: Thomas, who moved to Texas; Josiah, who settled on Meadow Creek; Marshall and Teaman, who settled on Fall Creek; while the girls were: Rhoda, who married James Morrow and settled on Cumberland River in Wayne County; Polly, who married James McCoin, of Edmonson County; Jane, who married Job Morrow and settled on Cumberland River in Wayne County; Anna, who never married; Nettie, who married John Dodson and settled in Beach Valley near Monticello; Neatha, who married Jones Taylor and settled on Cumberland River in Wayne County.
