       John Dodson and his family (see page 35 of this issue) settled
     in Freedom Township, Blair County (then Bedford County),
     Pennsylvania, about 1800. Whence did they come? The librarian of
     the Pennsylvania State Library suggests that they may have come
     from Maryland. What was the name of his wife? Who were his
     parents; his brothers and sisters?
