      I'm looking for any family links to the branch of the Dodson family that came
      from or lived in or around White county, Tenn. My grandfather is Ezra Franklin
      Dodson, dob 1-25-03, died june 28, 1963 in WV (wife, Ethel Lucille Myers). His
      brothers and sister are 1) Edward William Dodson born 08-29-1900 died ???? in
      Webster County, WV., wife unknown at this time, had two kids, a boy (David) and
      a girl unknown. 2) Joe Elmer Dodson, born sept 1 1906, died mar,1974, wife
      unknown, two kids(?), Joe Dodson 4-10-1936 died june,1980(?) and johnny dodson
      all in WV. 3) Howell Paskel Dodson, born 6-6-1912, died 12-1969 in salem, VA. 1
      adopted kid (name unknown) 4) Thelma Grace Dodson Johnson,dob 03 20 09, first
      husband, raymond johnson, second husband, brother of raymond johnson.

      Ezra's father was a Mumpford ?? Dodson(unsure of correct spelling),known as
      Monk, Mumpford could be first or middle name, dob 1871, died 1940 in Tenn. His
      wife was a Melissa (?) Frances Moore. (1875-1950?), died in WV. As the story has
      been told. Mumpford had to leave Tenn for moonshining. Went to KY, then to WV,
      then back to Tenn. I was told that everyone was born in or around White county,
      Tenn. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
