    • Yes. It is consistent with the interpretation that all three of you (you, Joseph Morrissey, and James Dixon) all share common Dodson ancestry. For you and James Dixon, the most recent common Dodson ancestor would be Thomas Dodson, Sr. (1681-1740). We may never know who the most recent common Dodson ancestor is among the 3 of you (because of the cold paper trail for Isiah Dodson), but I think the DNA evidence, along with the extensive Dodson paper trail you've compiled, almost certainly indicates that you 3 share a common Dodson ancestor. Maybe the most recent common Dodson ancestor is Thomas Dodson, Sr. for all three of you, or maybe it is further back than that (although the amount of shared DNA among you 3 would PROBABLY favor that it is not further back . . . meaning that Thomas Dodson, Sr. is PROBABLY the most recent common Dodson ancestor among you 3).

      Thanks, David. Yes, he is a possible NPE. If so, though, he still managed to have a Dodson surname and would have to be descended from someone in that family in order to have a descendant (my wife's Uncle Joseph) that is an autosomal DNA match with you. Joseph is also an autosomal DNA match to another person in the FTNDA database with Dodson ancestry (James Alvis Dixon). James Dixon is descended from Eleanor Dodson (1743 - 1782), who is also in your Hennessee database. Furthermore, James Dixon is descended from Thomas Dodson, Sr. (1681 - 1740), who is also one of your Dodson ancestors. You, Joseph Morrissey, and James Dixon all share the same DNA region(s) on the long arm of chromosome 19. So, although we may never figure out exactly how Isiah Dodson is related to the others, thanks to DNA, we do know that he is a member of that Dodson family, and that he is descended, somehow, from Thomas Dodson, Sr. (1681-1740), who was born in colonial Virginia, and who's father, Charles Dodson (1649-1704/1705) was also born in colonial Virginia.

      Thanks!

      Hello Adam.

      Alas, I've exhausted all of my source material and cannot locate your antecedent DODSON. My only suggestion would be that Isiah DODSON is a NPE which would explain his lack of ancestors.

      BTW, I've uploaded all the data I could find on him…

      You are a fairly close match to my wife's uncle (Joseph Morrissey), estimated to be a 2nd-4th cousin. I feel pretty sure that this must through the Dodson family from TN. Isaiah Dodson (1809-1866) was Joseph's great-great grandfather. We don't know who Isaiah's parents were, but given the DNA match between you and Jospeh, it would seem likely that your great-great grandmother, Maxa Dodson, may have been a close relative to Isaiah (possibly a sister or a first cousin). Do you have any documentation listing Maxa's brother and sisters?

      Adam Hoffhines (for Jospeh Morrissey).

      Hello Adam.

      Thank you for your thoughtful response and comment. I wish I were as conversant as you regarding DNA research and analysis…
